An appendix, or, Second part to the complete treatise on perspective: Containing a brief history of perspective, from the earliest and most authentic accounts of it, down to the eighteenth century, when it first began to flourish in England; in which the methods of practice, used by the ancients, are exemplisied and compared with those now in use. Military perspective; bird's eye views; &c.

Also the doctrine of reflection on plane mirrours. And, lastly, it contains a parallel and criticism on all the English authors who have wrote treatises on perspective; and the principles of Dr. Brook Taylor's perspective compared with Guidus Ubaldus, and S'sgravesande. The whole delivered in nine sections, and illustrated by ten plates. Second edition, with additions and improvements. Price one guinea. By Thomas Malton, sen
