Book Description
Excerpt from The Science of Vision, or Natural Perspective!: Containing the True Language of the Eye, Necessary in Common Observation, Education, Art and Science; Constituting the Basis of the Art of Design Let us now enquire into the import of pictures; in general they are looked upon only as luxuries or ornaments, produc tions more for pleasure than for any instructive benefit but if we consider an importance that really belongs to them, and the influence works of art have in forming our notions or ideas of external nature, from the first picture-book put into our infant hands till we become men of taste and connoisseurs in art and science, we shall not fail to see that if these productions be not the natural language of the eye, and do not communicate what they ought to do, that it were better pictorial art had never been known. Pictures purport to be, and are generally considered, true representatives of what is seen; it will not take much pains to expose and prove this to be a delusion; for, let any one consider his own knowledge and experience, and then revert to the standard character of drawing, and he will see at once that both theory and art have always falsified nature in one particular, which blunder has prevented the rest of the subject from being correct. For instance, on looking up to any lofty parallel surface, as a tower of a church, &c., every one has perceived in his own vision that the top appears narrower than the same breadth at the bottom, which is the infallible and constant effect of seeing; and yet there is not a picture in the world that has that effect, and consequently no picture (prior to my own) has been drawn as mankind see objects. If every artifice be tried, nothing can destroy this natural effect - it must be seen; neither can any artifice be resorted to, to enable the eye to see natural objects as they have been delineated. Parallel perpendicular lines, Cr all the upright lines of buildings, have always been drawn so, whether seen on lofty eminences or down below in valleys.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Philosophy of the Eye: Being a Familiar, Exposition of Its Mechanism, and of the Phenomena of Vision, With a View to the Evidence of Design Various successful attempts have been made, during the last few years, to popularize a knowledge of the structure and functions of the animal body, particularly by Sir Charles Bell, Dr. Roget, and Dr. Southwood Smith. Among the many portions of the subject that have attracted the notice of these eminent men, that of all others the most interesting - the Eye - can scarcely be regarded as having met with the degree of attention to which its admitted claims would seem to have entitled it. Hitherto there has been no separate treatise to which the general reader could refer for an ample and satisfactory account of this organ; although surely, if there be any one in particular that deserves to be isolated and considered apart from the other animal organs, it is that which contributes to vision, the noblest of the senses.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Bases of Design The field covered 15 an extensive one, and I am conscious that many branches of my subject are only touched, whilst others are treated in a very elementary manner. Every chapter, indeed, might be expanded into a volume, under such far-reaching headings, to give to each section anything like adequate treatment. My main object, however, has been to trace the vital veins and nerves of relationship in the arts of design, which, like the sap from the central stem, springing from connected and collective roots, out of a common ground, sustain and unite in one organic whole the living tree.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Design The authors believe that this book will prove of value to beginners in the study of design who are not ready for work of an advanced character and that it will recommend itself as well to those who have gone deeper into the subject. Any statement or theory worthy the name must relate itself constantly to practice. If one is compelled to depart from theory in order to practice successfully, that point of depart ure marks a weakness in the theory.
