and it will be,

If now T X be continued, till it cuts the Ho-

Whence it follows, that if a Line be drawn
ſrom the Eye, to the Point F, it will be paral-
lel to S B A. Therefore the Perſpective 1113. B A, is a Part of B X; and ſo the Repreſenta-
tion of A is in the ſaid Line. The Perſpective
of a Line perpendicular to the Geometrical
Plane, in the Point A, paſſes thro’ the Perſpe-
ctive of the Point A, and thro’ the Point T ; 2213, 14. therefore it is a Part of T X. But the given Point
is in the aſoreſaid Perpendicular: And ſo its Per-
ſpective is in T X.

Again;
it is otherwiſe manifeſt, that the Per-
ſpective of C L, is a Part of C X; and 3341. quently, the Appearance of L is in this Line.
Now, if a Line be ſuppos’d to be drawn from
the Point L, thro’ the propos’d Point, it will be
parallel to the Vertical Line; and ſo its 446. ſpective is parallel to the Baſe Line. And
