The theory and projection of shadows, by sun-shine, and by candle-light. The effects of reflected light, on objects; their reflected images, on the surface of water, and on polished, plane surfaces, in all positions. The whole explicitly treated; and illustrated, in a great variety of familiar examples; in four books. Embellished with an elegant frontispiece, and forty-eight plates. Containing diagrams, views, and original designs, in architecture, &c. neatly engraved. All originals; /
