Text Appearing Before Image:
o answer the objectionalluded to; but there is another not yet stated, whichaffirms that the designs belong to the kaleidescope,—a termutterly inapplicable, unless indeed the power of reproductionmay be said to equal that machine. Kaleidescope designsor patterns are purely mechanical—they are either somany sectors of a circle, or else so many radiations froma common centre ; and a glance will convince any personwith the slightest knowledge of Geometry, that the presentDesigns are not at all of that class. Supposing, for the sake of argument, it be admitted thatthey were first designed, and then reduced to a geometricprinciple or calculation, it is after all only the minor partsto which the observation can possibly apply, for all arebased upon one unvarying foundation ; and this compels anadhesion to geometric law, from which there is no escapingin the general result. Order, in short, is the foundation whence theyoriginate, and the pediment in which they terminate. IIuKfratlans. I.
