fition of great ufe, and teints made from this with
whiting will be found very ferviceable.
Carmine and black is another good compound, of
which five or fix gradations fhould be made, fome
partaking more of the black, and others having the
carmine moft predominant, befides feveral teints by
a mixture with whiting.
