PART THE SECOND.
SECTION I.
JL HE former part has considered Appearances only,
and has given rules to copy them from Drawings, or
from Nature.
It is necessary to know the real situations which pro-
duce them, and the rules by which they are governed;
or they would be copied but as the characters of an
unknown language.
Thus Appearances will be clearly understood; what
in reality they are, and how occasioned: and, when
real situations are proposed to be described, the Ap-
pearance they would assume will be known, and may
as truly be presented in Lines, as if formed by nature
into Appearances: In nature (which it is impossible to
observe without admiration and delight) real Situations
are perpetually changed into Appearances, which are
infinitely variable, by the smallest alteration in the point
of view.
