Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Shades and Shadows: And Linear Perspective
The manner of finding the shadows of objects, and the common methods of perspective, depend on mathe matical principles, and are susceptible of demonstration. The want of a' work demonstrating those principles rigorously, has long been felt, and especially in the Military Academy, where the subjects have been taught by lecture for several years. If the one now submitted be found not to merit the approbation of the public, the author hopes it will at least be received with indulgence.
