Hague, who came over to England about the year 1670. He

Stone Building [to paint in| miniature.] Dead-colour or

the colour you would have the ftones ; you may, if you pleafe,
add a little oker, both to begin with and to finifh.
But, to add ftill to its beauty, you fhould here and there, efpe-
cially for ruins, make teints of blue and yellow; the former of
