Excerpt from An Introduction to Perspective, Drawing, and Painting

How mortifying it is to observe the prevailing anti pathy to geometrical illustration, especially among those Whose professional success so materially depends on this branch of, elementary knowledge; and even supporting their objections by arguments as opposite to reason as they are to truth! One can hardly compose the mind to so gentle a sensation as pity for one who, wrapped in hyperbole, disavows the necessity of geometrical knowledge, by declaring that Genius having wings, can assume any region, passing over all boundaries, and ascending all heights, With out the mechanical aid of keysand Zadders: it surely would try the temper of an epicf�'zfitsttolsee, from the. Hand of such a son qf'daedazus, the colouring almost of a Titian; on a picture as absurd (in point of perspec tive) as the ingeniously sarcastic composition by Ho garth, which stands asa frontispiece to Kerby's Dr, Brook Taylor's Perspective.
