The final work attempted by the author to prove his theory of 'optical corrections', showing that 'the Greek architects 

 changed the first figure in their design into one which should produce to the eye an apparent symmetry and accuracy of 

 outline, or, in the words of Plato, 'the artists bidding farewell to truth, change the real symmetry, and accommodate to 

 images such commensurations as are only apparently beautiful' . . . [In the above work] Paunethorne sets forth in 

 minute detail his theory of the mauner in which the actual proportions of the original design were adapted to the optical 

 conditions of correct perspective.' D. N. B.

One of the most important works in connexion with the early history of the British Navy, containing an account of its 

 reconstruction, chiefly due to the Duke of York (later James II ), and the author himself. 



'The Duke of York, afterwards James II., assisted by the celebrated Samuel Pepys, as Secretary, did much for the 

 navy. He appointed a new commission when he came to the throne, with which he joined Sir Anthony Deane, the best 

 naval architect of the time, who essentially improved the ships of the line by copying from French models ; at this time 

 and during the XVIII. Century, naval architecture was zealously studied in France, and the English constructors were so 

 sensible of their inferiority that even up to the beginning of the XIX. Century ail our best ships were either captured from 

 the French or copied from them. At the Revolution of 1689 the fleet was in excellent condition, with sea stores complete 

 for eight months for each ship. The force consisted of 134 vessels, carrying 6930 guns, and 42.000 men, whereof nine were 

 first-rates.' dipt. Garbett, E.N.
