bluit Colour; but there succceded neither blue nOr
violet.
The stch red at first inclined rery much to purple,
and alterards became more brighe and brisque, but
Vet nOF rery pure. This ras succeeded ith a very
brighit and intense vellor, wrhich iras bue lictle in
quantity, and soon chansed to sreen: But that srcen
ras copious and Pomethins more pure, deep and lively,
than the tormer oreen. Atter that followed an excel-
lent blue ot a brighe stey-colour, and then a purple,
Wrhrich iras less in quantier than the blue, and much
inclined to red.
ThC AXtH Red WaS at APK OF a very Fair and lively

verr pure and brisque, and the best ot aii the
reds. Then alter a lively oranse Folloed an intense
bright and copious vellor, irtrich ras alo the best
oF all the yelloirs, and this chansed Arst to a sreenisi
vellour, and then to a greenittr blue; but tho grCen
betireen the vellor and the blue, us very licele and
dilute, scemins rather a sreenitm erhite than a green.
The bluc irtich succeeded became verr sood, and ot a
very tair bright stey- colour, but vet Pomethins inferior
to the former blue; and the violet ras intense and
deep rith little or no rednels in it. And less in quan-
tier than the blue.
In the last red appeared a tincture oF scartet next
to violet, irhich Coon chansed to a briohter C OlOur,
inclinins to an oranse; and the rellon irtrich tollored
ras at trst preter good and livelr, but altervards it
orem more dilute, until by degrées it ended in perfect
orhite.
