 * PART II. 



OF PAINTING. 



INTRODUCTION. 



The art which, next to the study of the principles of taster 

 will contribute most to improve the ideas of a rural designer, 

 is landscape painting; which, indeed, is so much connected 

 with taste, that the study of the one ought to go hand in hand 

 with the other. The remarks which it is proposed to offer will 

 be chiefly with a view to shew the importance of this study. 

 They shall be included, under the following heads : 



1% The general principles of landscape painting. 



2. The advantages to be derived from a study of the prin- 



ciples, and also from the practice of this art in archie 

 tecture, and the laying out of grounds. 



3. The advantage to be derived from studying prints and 



paintings.
