TO THE Ingenuous Lovers OF ART Courteous Reader AMONGST the Variety of Books of this Nature here is One puts in for a share It s in a plain Garb without that Enrichment that some are Adorned with I mean that laborious shadowing that beclouds the eyes of Young Practitioners for whose Use chiefly this Piece is intended It is in another kinde of Coloured Coat then all its former Brethren not Clothed in Black but in Red for the convenient Use following Those that may desire to attain the Art of Proportion at the first sight look upon the imitation of these first Rules to be so hard a task that it oft falls out they rather desist then adventure Such therefore I Advise to go over each particular Part in each Leaf several times with a dry Pen until the Idea of the Part they go over falls in with their Fancie which when they do apprehend then let them with a Pen and black Ink go carefully over that part they so conceived in its Proportion This way for a Learners Encouragement at his first Attempt will reduce his first disheartning to a speedy undertaking of a first seeming impossibility And this I Advise for the Parts in each Leaf and for so many Leaves as may lead the Beginner to a capacity of Apprehension of Proportion If Envie carp and say This is a New Device 'T is soon Answered But 't is a true one If the Artist shall say 'T is an Erroneous Rule 'T is Replied It 's only intended to lead to the knowledge of the true and by that I mean the Eye and Hand Imitation Vale.
