TABLE III,

Compound tints of the third order are not set down, it being unnecessary,
as they are formed from Table II, exactly in the same manner as those are
from Table I; and produce similar tints, only weaker.

I shall only add, that in mixing these colours, the imperfections of the
pigments we have to use must be allowed for; for they will all fall very far
short of those seen in the Prismatic Spectrum; but I believe the following list
will come as near as any:

Gamboge

Red-lead and Gamboge

Vermillion and Red-lead

Lake and Prussian Blue

Prussian Blue

Antwerp Blue

Antwerp Blue and Gamboge

for Yellow
for Orange
for Red
for Violet
for Indigo
for Blue
for Green.

FINIS.
