examination of the wet peke opesimme of Itarmaskes
enuring of the ancients will skew that this proposed*
has generally obtained—that is to say, that there bee bee
as much blue as the yellow and red put together. Thus the
light and the shade an made to balance each other. Of

—that is, we should hike the yellow oat of them. So if we had
Ms meek blue Ireebeele mks the yellow more orange and
the rod more .melee. A prarrised eye will as readily do this
as a man may time a musical instrument. It is here that
science abodes the artist, who meet treat to his ewe pi r.
teptions, cultivated by repeated trials and Wares. Is the
yeesent instance I mast do this in the presents of the world

building till it is complete. Here the pabbe will watch
every stop from the Inc to the Ise. On this account I invite
yea to suspend your judgment, and beg of Moe who have
aliney nen the specimen at the buildiag, or who may see the
nark ia its progress, to banish constantly from their minds
objects by which it is now surrounded. It is
Oaken to all that a yellow and blue colour will appear
