The difference is more theoretical than practical. Figs. 5 and 6 represent a photograph of two boxes, one below and at the leftof the eye and one below and at the right, yet neither of them show any of theabove errors. The final test, however, must rest with the mind through thefeeling and 48 AUGSBURGS DRAWING.
