Overview

Excerpt from The Orthographic Beauty of the Parthenon Referred to a Law of Nature: To Which Are Prefixed a Few Observations on the Importance of sthetic Science as an Element in Architectural Education Being unavoidably absent from the meeting at which my paper was read, I was prevented from hearing the observations made upon it by the mem bers, or the objections taken to parts of some of the diagrams alluded to in the above report; and, not withstanding many attempts to become acquainted with their specific nature, I have as yet received no such information as would enable me to enter into details on that part of the subject. As to the general objection made to the system of dividing proportions by particular angles, I have only to express a hope that every unprejudiced and careful reader of this short treatise will pronounce that objection groundless.
