​HORE. (Commander, 1813. f-p., 17; h-p., 30.)
Samuel Bradstreet Hore, born in April, 1791, is third son (by Eleanor Catherine, daughter and heiress of Sir Simon Bradstreet, Bart., and niece of the Right Hon. Sir Henry Cavendish, Bart.) of Wm. Hore, Esq., of Harperstown, High Sheriff in 1788, and a Magistrate for co. Wexford, who was killed during the rebellion of 1798 while serving with the militia on the bridge of Wexford. He is brother of Commander Jas. Stopford, and of Lieut. Henry Cavendish, Hore, both of the R.N.; also of Major Wm. Hore, of the 67th Foot, who died in 1830, and of Capt. Thos. Hore, of the R.E.; and uncle of Lieut. Cavendish Bradstreet Hore, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, in 1800, as Midshipman, on board the Santa Margarita 36, Capt. Geo. Parker, on the North American station; became Midshipman, in March, 1801, of the Excellent 74, Capt, afterwords Rear-Admiral, Hon. Robt. Stopford; and (with the exception of a brief attachment, in 1803, to the Endymion 40, Capt. Hon. Chas. Paget) continued to serve with that officer, until July, 1807, in the Castor frigate, and Spencer 74. The latter ship, during the time he was in her, formed part of Lord Nelson’s force in his pursuit of the combined squadrons to the West Indies, and of Sir John Duckworth’s in the action off St. Domingo. On being appointed Master’s Mate of the Prince of Wales 98, bearing the flag of Admiral Gambier, Mr. Hore accompanied the expedition to Copenhagen, where he served with the flotilla, and was appointed Acting-Lieutenant of the Leyden 64, Capt. Wm. Cumberland. He was confirmed, on 19 Oct. in the same year, in his old ship the Spencer, in which he continued with Rear-Admiral Stopford until Dec. 1808. On again joining his friend in the Caesar 80, we find him present at the destruction of three heavy French frigates under the batteries of Sable d’Olonne, and also of the shipping in Basque Roads. In the summer of 1809, he assumed command of a gun-boat, and shared in all the operations connected with the Walcheren expedition. Being subsequently appointed Flag-Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Stopford in the Scipion 74, Mr. Hore proceeded with him to the Cape of Good Hope; on his return from which station, after having participated in the reduction of the island of Java, he was promoted, 26 Jan. 1812, to the acting-command of the Harpy sloop. ​On the breaking out of war with the United States, he conveyed the despatches announcing that event to the Mauritius – encountering on his passage a very fearful hurricane, which rendered it necessary for his guns to be thrown overboard. Commander Hore, who left the Harpy in March, 1813, and was officially promoted on 13 of the following May, held an appointment in the Coast Guard from 1821 to 1825. He has since been on half-pay.
Commander Hore has been 25 years a Magistrate for cos. Wicklow and Wexford. He married, 8 Sept. 1821, Jane Caroline, daughter of Rich. Solly, Esq., of Walthamstow, by Frances, only daughter of Sir Fred. Flood, Bart., LL.D., M.P.

Chap. CCXXXIX.—Of Colours.
The colour which is between the light and the shadow will not be so beautiful as that which is in the full light. Therefore the chief beauty of colours will be found in the principal lights.

Chap. XXIV.—How to remember the Form of a Face.
If you wish to retain with facility the general look of a face, you must first learn how to draw well several faces, mouths, eyes, noses, chins, throats, necks, and shoulders; in short, all those principal parts which distinguish one man from another. For instance, noses are often different sorts. Straight, ​bunched, concave, some raised above, some below the middle, aquiline, flat, round, and sharp. These affect the profile. In the front view there are eleven different sorts. Even, thick in the middle, thin in the middle, thick at the tip, thin at the beginning, thin at the tip, and thick at the beginning. Broad, narrow, high, and low nostrils; some with a large opening, and some more shut towards the tip.
The same variety will be found in the other parts of the face, which must be drawn from Nature, and retained in the memory. Or else, when you mean to draw a likeness from memory, take with you a pocket-book, in which you have marked all these variations of features, and after having given a look at the face you mean to draw, retire a little aside, and note down in your book which of the features are similar to it; that you may put it all together at home.

Chap. CCXLI.—Of the Colour of Shadows.
The colour of the shadows of an object can never be pure if the body which is opposed to these shadows be not of the same colour as that on which they are produced. For instance, if in a room, the walls of which are green, I place a figure clothed in blue, and receiving the light from another blue object, the light part of that figure will be of a beautiful blue, but the shadows of it will become dingy, and not like a true shade of that beautiful blue, because it will be corrupted by the reflexions from the green wall; and it would be still worse if the walls were of a darkish brown.

Chap. CCXLVI.—Of the Colouring of remote Objects.
The painter, who is to represent objects at some distance from the eye, ought merely to convey the idea of general undetermined masses, making choice, for that purpose, of cloudy weather, or towards the evening, and avoiding, as was said before, to mark the lights and shadows too strong on the extremities; because they would in that case appear like spots of difficult execution, and without grace. He ought to remember, that the shadows are never to be of such a quality, as to obliterate the proper colour, in which they originated; if the situation of the coloured body be not in total darkness. He ought to mark no outline, not to make the hair stringy, and not to touch with pure white, any but those things which in themselves are white; in short, the lightest touch upon any particular object ought to denote the beauty of its proper and natural colour.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 247

Chap. CCXLVII.—The Surface of all opake Bodies participates of the Colour of the surrounding Objects.
The painter ought to know, that if any white object is placed between two walls, one of which is ​also white, and the other black, there will be found between the shady side of that object and the light side, a similar proportion to that of the two walls; and if that object be blue, the effect will be the same. Having therefore to paint this object, take some black, similar to that of the wall from which the reflexes come; and to proceed by a certain and scientific method, do as follows. When you paint the wall, take a small spoon to measure exactly the quantity of colour you mean to employ in mixing your tints; for instance, if you have put in the shading of this wall three spoonfuls of pure black, and one of white, you have, without any doubt, a mixture of a certain and precise quality. Now having painted one of the walls white, and the other dark, if you mean to place a blue object between them with shades suitable to that colour, place first on your pallet the light blue, such as you mean it to be, without any mixture of shade, and it will do for the lightest part of your object. After which take three spoonfuls of black, and one of this light blue, for your darkest shades. Then observe whether your object be round or square: if it be square, these two extreme tints of light and shade will be close to each other, cutting sharply at the angle; but if it be round, draw lines from the extremities of the walls to the centre of the object, and put the darkest shade between equal angles, where the lines intersect upon the superficies of it; then begin to make them lighter and ​lighter gradually to the point N O, lessening the strength of the shadows as much as that place participates of the light A D, and mixing that colour with the darkest shade A B, in the same proportion.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 243

Chap. CCXLIII.—Whether it be possible for all Colours to appear alike by means of the same Shadow.
It is very possible that all the different colours may be changed into that of a general shadow; as is manifest in the darkness of a cloudy night, in which neither the shape nor colour of bodies is distinguished. Total darkness being nothing but a privation of the primitive and reflected lights, by which the form and colour of bodies are seen; it is evident, that the cause being removed the effect ceases, and the objects are entirely lost to the sight.

Chap. CCXLIV.—Why White is not reckoned among the Colours.
White is not a colour, but has the power of receiving all the other colours. When it is placed in a high situation in the country, all its shades are azure; according to the fourth proposition, which ​says, that the surface of any opake body participates of the colour of any other body sending the light to it. Therefore white being deprived of the light of the sun by the interposition of any other body, will remain white; if exposed to the sun on one side, and to the open air on the other, it will participate both of the colour of the sun and of the air. That side which is not opposed to the sun, will be shaded of the colour of the air. And if this white were not surrounded by green fields all the way to the horizon, nor could receive any light from that horizon, without doubt it would appear of one simple and uniform colour, viz. that of the air.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 240

Chap. CCXL.—No Object appears in its true Colour, unless the Light which strikes upon it be of the same Colour.
This is very observable in draperies, where the light folds casting a reflexion, and throwing a light on other folds opposite to them, make them appear in their natural colour. The same effect is produced by gold leaves casting their light reciprocally on each other. The effect is quite contrary if the light be received from an object of a different colour.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 242

Chap. CCXLII.—Of Colours.
Colours placed in shadow will preserve more or less of their original beauty, as they are more or less immersed in the shade. But colours situated in a light space will shew their natural beauty in proportion to the brightness of that light. Some say, ​that there is as great variety in the colours of shadows, as in the colours of objects shaded by them. It may be answered, that colours placed in shadow will shew less variety amongst themselves as the shadows are darker. We shall soon convince ourselves of this truth, if, from a large square, we look through the open door of a church, where pictures, though enriched with a variety of colours, appear all clothed in darkness.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 245

Chap. CCXLV.—Of Colours.
The light of the fire tinges every thing of a reddish yellow; but this will hardly appear evident, if we do not make the comparison with the daylight. Towards the close of the evening this is easily done; but more certainly after the morning twilight; and the difference will be clearly distinguished in a dark room, when a little glimpse of daylight strikes upon any part of the room, and there still remains a candle burning. Without such a trial the difference is hardly perceivable, particularly in those colours which have most similarity; such as white and yellow, light green and light blue; because the light which strikes the blue, being yellow, will naturally ​turn it green; as we have said in another place, that a mixture of blue and yellow produces green. And if to a green colour you add some yellow, it will make it of a more beautiful green.
