12ivThe PREFACE. what Uſe ſuch an exceſſive Variety of Exam-
ples will be to them.
I believ’d then, that I might be able to
treat of this Art after another Manner:
And altho’ I know my ſelf to be much infe-
rior to ſeveral of thoſe who have written on
this Subject; yet I am of Opinion, that if
Perſpective ſhould loſe any thing by me, on
account of my want of fudgment; yet that
may be regain’d, perhaps, (and with In-
tereſt too) by my great Diligence in this Bu-
ſineſs.
I have conſider’d, moreover, that the te-
dious Particulars, inherent to the Subject on
which I have choſen to write, will always
hinder Genius’s capable of great Matters,
from undertaking a Subject ſo little worthy
their Endeavours, and ſo barren of great
Diſcoveries.
Thus, hoping, on one hand, to give a new
Turn to the Practice of Perſpective, and
make it eaſier; and being perſuaded, on the
other, that more learned Perſons than my ſelf
will not take this Trouble upon them; I ven-
ture to publiſh this ſmall Work, and expoſe
it to the Taſte of the Learned World; from
whom I expect no other Praiſe, but what
may reaſonably be claim’d by an aſſiduo{us} Ap-
plication.
