Figura Vigesimaquinta.
Optica descriptio capitelli Compositi.
Ex iis quæ diximus de capitello Corinthio, didiceris modum faciendi capitellum Compositum. Velim autem tibi persuadeas, cum lectione harum regularum quæ sunt magistri inanimes, circini usum perpetuò conjungi oportere. Hic enim vivi magistri defectum unicè supplere potest.
The Twenty-fifth Figure.
The Composite Capital in Perspective.
From what has been said of the Corinthian Capital, may be learnt the Manner of putting the Composite also into Perspective. I wish I could prevail with you, that to the Reading of the Rules, which in themselves are but lifeless Masters, you would constantly add a diligent Practice of the Figures by the Compasses; this being the only way to supply the Want of a living Master.
