PLATE IX.

Fig. 1 represents a Cottage : the Diminishing Point of the receding lines in the side A, and its parallels, is at x on the right
hand of the picture, and that of the receding lines in the plane B, and its parallels, will be found at a distance far on the left
of the Point of Sight C. From what has already been said, no further directions can be necessary for this building.

Fig. 2, PI. IX. is the representation of a Farm House. The Diminishing Points of the Planes A and B, and their parallels,
are on either side of the Point of Sight C, as usual; and the rails are drawn towards the same points, because they are in na-
ture placed in lines parallel to the respective sides of the building.

PLATES X. AND XI.

The buildings in these plates are more difficult to copy than the preceding, but require no farther directions as to the prin-
ciple by which they are represented, the two Diminishing Points for the respective sides of the building being used exactly as
in the examples already described.

PLATE XII.

Represents an old house at Weobley, in Herefordshire. In this example the Diminishing Points are at a considerable dis-
tance on either side of the Point of Sight C.

PLATE XIIL

Is a view of Fisherman's Gate at Sandwich. This example contains a flight of steps, which requires particular directions.
Let A be the side of a building, Plate VII, Fig. 7; Ea door situated high above the ground. First draw the perpendi-
cular line a b, from the bottom of the door to the ground, which gives b for the point upon the ground, directly under the
