The breadth of it is three-fourths its height.
The stem of the tree is distant once the breadth of the
house.
The same space, on each side, gives the breadth of the
picture.
The house divided into two parts, and the space of
one part added above the top, and one at the
bottom, gives the height of the picture.
The space on each side the stem of the tree, divided
into two parts, gives the size of the tree.
USE POSITION.
RULE FIRST.
And continue as in the former example.
This trifling subject is chosen to render the first trial
easy; but either by equal divisions, as in this, or by
subdivisions, every possible subject will be presented just
as readily.
By this method, truth will attend every effort. Cer-
tainty renders it also the most expeditious mode that can
be used ; and is equally useful for every sort of Drawing.
