Drawings of thisnature are generally made upon paper by applying the principles ofperspective. To make such a drawing it is necessary to know theforms, dimensions, and positions of the objects, to know the positionof the picture plane on which they are to be represented, and alsothe position of the eye of the spectator, which is supposed to befixed at one point called the station-point. Scientific perspective isas exact as geometry,— in fact it is a branch of geometry, and itsprinciples may be applied upon paper to a drawing of any subject,so exact that if the paper could be rendered transparent, and sus-pended vertically in the position of the picture plane, every lineupon it would be
