fimple nature fhould be feen in her mod advantageous poftures.

The nudities ought not to be fhewn in weak and lean figures.,
but rather you ought to feek for occafions to cover them. A
fpecial care ought to be taken, that, in all human figures, the

of Stone, the famous copier. He was brought up a fcholar,

pejrors; but the inundation of the Barbarians, who ravaged and
