pofition in imitation of flatuary marble. Thefe are to be had,
of any figure, or on any fubjeCt, at Mr. Wedgewood’s, near Soho-
fquare. They are let into the wood, and project a little forward.
The commode fhould be painted to fuit the furniture, and the
legs and other parts in gold to harmonize with the fofas, tables*
and chairs.
To fapply the Defefl of Figure 32, Plate V.
It is there fliewn how to find the miter of the fides of a
comb-tray at any pitch, and of any given projection; but it was
omitted to fliew how the miter is obtained in the thicknefs of
the fluff, as it rifes to any pitch..
Having found the breadth of the fides b c, Fig. 32, Plate V,
with this opening of the compaffes defcribe a femicircle, fee
Plate XXII, and make a e equal to the perpendicular height of
the fide of the tray. Draw a line from e to the center; and
parallel to this, fet off a line for the thicknefs of the tray fides,
and the bevel of the under edge will be at 4. Draw a fquare at
the center, the length of whofe fides fhall be equal to the thick-
nefs of the tray fides, as 3,1, 2. Next draw the line B, A, E, pa-
rallel to the diameter; and take a e, the fine of the angle of the
tray fides, and transfer it to EA. From A draw a line to the
center, cutting the fmall fquare at 1, and the fpace 1—2 will be
the miter fought for; that is, when the fides are mitered in
their
