Présentation de l'éditeur: To shew in as pleasing a way as I could, the stability of this Performance, and the subject of the book in general, I have, by the figure on the right hand, represented Geometry standing on a rock, with a scroll of diagrams in his hand, conversing with Perspective, the next figure to him, who is attentive to the Principles of Geometry as the ground of his art; which art is represented by the frame on which he rests his hand. On the left, seated near the window, is an Artist busy in designing ;at whose right hand is the Genius of Drawing, presenting the Artist with various patterns. The back figure is A rchitecture, measuring the shaft of a Tuscan column ;and on the back ground is the Temple of Fame, to which a knowledge of these arts directly leads.
