oefore his Pupils bodily most of the architectural forms depicted
in the examples which he supplies. They afford him the
opportunity of choosing various simple and single forms, or
such as are complicated and accumulated; because they admit
of almost infinite combinations, which he gradually approaches
according to the measure of his Pupils' knowledge and power;
or he dissevers and dissects, as their necessities in any case
may demand. Moreover, each Model is so formed as to be a
consistently component part of any composition.

These Models may be arranged so as to present natural
contours, such as the eye is already familiar with; the Pupils,
by drawing from these in-doors, take the surest steps to acquire
the ability to recognise and to draw the like from Nature, and
at a moment when that assistance can be obtained from their
Teachers, of which these trials may prove them to stand in need.

Nor amongst the least of the advantages derivable from
their use, may be reckoned a practical knowledge of Perspec-
tive by a facile and inviting method, relieved of that embar-
rassment and fatigue attending its study.

By their means also shade and shadow are learned simulta-
neously with form. Not only may the Models be so arranged
as to meet every want or capacity on the part both of the
Teacher and his Pupils, but picturesque forms may be reared
by one, and recognised and constructed by the others; the
latter may have in addition the opportunity of seeing and
drawing these forms from various points of view; and having
thus obtained skeleton figures, they may exercise on them in
an effective and entertaining manner the knowledge of appro-
priate character which they will have acquired from the study
of " The Lessons on Art," or from other sources. All these
objects and advantages have been sought in their construction,
and their fitness tested by many years of experience.
