BENJ. FERREY.

G. T. HOARE is quite right in saying "that every line above or below the

line of the horizon, though _really_ parallel to it, _apparently_

approaches it, as it is produced to the right or left." But he seems to

forget that the same holds good in the picture as in the original

landscape, the part opposite the eye being nearer to it than the margin of

the paper. To produce the same effect with _converging lines_, the drawing

must be made to assume the form of a segment of a circle, the eye being

placed in the centre.
