Lectures on architecture : consisting of rules founded upon harmonick and arithmetical proportions in building : design'd as an agreeable entertainment for gentlemen : and more particularly useful to all who make architecture or the polite arts, their study ...
Robert Morris's 1734 London treatise Lectures on Architecture, printed for John Brindley, sets out rules of proportion for gentlemen and anyone studying architecture or the polite arts. The plates are engraved architectural elevations, plans and sections of classical buildings drawn in fine black line with dimensioned measurements and fine hatching for masonry and shadow, useful for a designer studying Palladian-era drafting conventions, scale annotation, and clean technical diagram layout.
