11656An ESSAY through I, and the Extremity of the propoſed
Line;
and therefore the Perſpective of this Ex-
tremity is in the Line L H;
which was to be
demonſtrated.
Note, if F H had been aſſumed, the one half,
or one third, &
c. of what it is; then it is mani-
feſt that R Q muſt alfo have been taken 1119. to the one half, or third Part, &
c. of C E.
Method. III.
71. Forinclined Lines not meeting the Geometrical
Plane.
Let A and B be the Seats of the Extremities of
22Fig. 37. the given Line.
Let X repreſent a Plane paſſing
through the given Line perpendicular to the
Geometrical Plane.
Likewiſe let M N in this
Plane, repreſent the Line whoſe Perſpective is re-
quir’d;
and let C N and P M be perpendicular to
the Geometrical Plane:
Whence P C repreſents
A B, and conſequently is equal thereto.
Operation.
Find the Point I , the Perſpective of a 3350. above the Point A, the Height of C N; and
draw the Line B S, from the Point B, to the
Station Point I, cutting the Baſe Line in E;
and
from the Point I, draw a Line to the accidental
Point F;
which cut by a Perpendicular to the
Baſe Line, raiſed at the Point E;
and then I T
will be the Appearance ſought.
Method IV.
72. For inclined Lines parallel to the perſpective
Plane.
