Note, moreover, that this one Example
is ſufficient to ſhew how to throw any Kinds of
Figures in the Geometrical Plane into Perſpe-
ctive. To effect which, we circumſcribe any
Parallelogram about the Figures, which we di-
vide into ſeveral others: Then we throw this
Parallelogram (thus divided) into Perſpective,
and transfer the given Figure therein, ſo that it
may have the ſame Situation with reſpect to
the little Parallelograms in the perſpective Plane,
as it had in regard to the ſmall Parallelograms
in the Geometrical Plane.
