乍一看，肖像画似乎并不完全是一个适合提交皇家学会的主题，因为一个有成就的艺术家的技巧和感情所表达的微妙的触摸，以及优雅，以及对人类形式的最终表现的敏感性，不允许像我们调查的普通主题那样进行严格的分析。然而，由于透视规则是严格数学的，完全属于我们的范围，因此可以假定，一个涉及该科学的某些原则的问题可以被认为是一个合法的交流主题;对任何公认原则没有预料到的影响必须值得注意;并且对它们的解释将被发现具有某种实用性。
It may seem, at first view, that portrait painting is not altogether a fit subject to be brought before the Royal Society, since the delicate touches by which the skill and feeling of an accomplished artist convey an expression of sense, and grace, and sensibility to the finished representation of the human form, cannot admit of such strict analysis as the ordinary subjects of our inquiry. Nevertheless, since the rules of perspective, which are strictly mathematical, are perfectly within our province, it may be presumed that a question, in which some principles of that science are involved, may be considered a legitimate subject of communication ; that effects not anticipated on any received principles must deserve attention; and that the explanation of them will be found to have some pretensions to utility.
