Includes on p. 12 a description of the "landscape mirror", or Claude glass, with instructions on its usage: "The landscape mirror will also furnish much amusement in this tour. Where the objects are great and near, it removes them to a distance, and shows them in the soft colours of nature, and in the most regular perspective the eye can perceive, or science demonstrate."
