Not illustrated. 1845 Excerpt: ...parts as have, through time or accident, deviated from their original levels, circles, perpendiculars, and straight lines.

Old rustic cottages, and rude broken fences, whether paling, or unwrought stones, etc., may not admit of this retrospective sort of exactness with regard to the true levels, circles, or perpendiculars, which govern the architectural edifices above alluded to; because the clownish and unstudied effect of rural architecture, is that which confers its sort of beauty. In such cases, you must be directed by your example, proceeding much as you ought to do in drawing a map; which is, to secure the greater boundaries correctly, and descend to such subdivisions or prominent marks as next enforce attention; gradually, and in the same order, filling in every part like the example, both as to effect, texture, and true character, as well as to the exact force of markings, lights, and shadows. Precision can never be carried to too great an extreme, in the execution of any Subject worthy the pencil. Technical propriety will always merit so much of your attention, as to secure you from the critical censure of the mechanic: "suffer not the cobbler to find fault with the shoe." Many objects in landscape are of fixed dimensions, and should never be given contrary to their proportion; for instance: a brick, and its stratum of mortar, always measures three inches; this must make four courses in the height of one foot, or twenty-eight to the height of a seven-feet door frame. Pan-tiles cover about seven inches in width; therefore, in a roof sixteen feet long, twenty-seven rows of ...
