The Twentieth Figure.
John James translation
The Attick Base in Perspective.
The Attick Base is more frequently made use of by Painters, than any other; because it suits well with most of the Orders. The Points E and F, the greatest Breadth of the outward Circle of the Perspective-Plan, give the greatest Breadth of the lower Torus CD. And whatever else relates either to this or the upper Torus AB, is to be sought in the same Manner, as has been shewn in the Tuscan Base.
