 nices. Ill the centre are two quadrangular courts ; and 

 externally it prefents four principal fronts, each divided into 

 three ftories in height, and into diflerent portions in width 

 by fquare projections. The interior of this princely man- 

 fion correfponds with its exterior in character and cfTeA ; 

 etery thing is vafl, and every part is grand. The priricipal 

 apartments, witii all the out-ofRces, have been recently 

 formed and arranged by JefFcry Wyatt, efq., architect ; who, 

 well acquainted with the ftyle of architecture in which the 

 houfe was originally erefted, has judicioufly adhered to the 

 fame ftyle in his additional works. Hence, when the whole 

 is completed, it may be fafcly afll-rted, tiiat for grandeur of 

 effeft, commodioufnefs of arrangement, and adaptation for a 

 fplendid cftablifhment, it will equal any maafion in Great 

 Britain. The libraries and other apartments are enriched 

 with numerous piftures, among which are portraits of many 

 perfonages of dillinguiihed celebrity in the three laft centu-

WARMTH. See Heat. 



Warmth, in Painting, denotes that fiery cfFeft which a 

 fraall addition of yellow gives to a true red ; and that glow- 

 ing appearance which red imparts to either yellow or blue. 

 By warmth, in red, is to be under Hood a fmall inclination 

 towards orange ; by the fame term, applied to yellow, a like 

 tendency by the admixture of red ; and by the fame again, 

 in the cafe of blue, mull be underftood its (lightly verging on 

 the purple. Coolnefs is oppofed to warmth ; but it is fel- 

 dom ufed except in fpeaking of yellow and blue ; and then 

 it means either the negation of that which caufes warmth, 

 or a tendency to green, in either colour, by a flight admixture 

 of the other. The fenfe of the term warmth, wlien appfied to 

 colouring, or the combined appearance of various teiiits, mnfl 

 not be confounded with that which it bears when we are 

 fpeaking of particular colours. For then it relates to the 

 procuring of a flrongeffed, by the difpofition or contraft of 

 the colours, or the groffnefs of tlie teints ; and rot the qua- 

 lities peculiar to, or inherent in the colours themfelves.

WARNERIA, in Botany, was fo called by Miller, in 

 honour of Richard Warner, efq. of Woodford-row, Effex, 

 author of the Planta Woodfordimfcs, publiftied in 1771. 

 This gentleman, rather a patron of the fcience than a deep 

 botanirt, is mentioned by Dr. Pulteney, as a fuccefsful cul- 

 tivator of exotic plants, and a lover of indigenous botany. 

 On his death, April 1 1, 1775, he left his valuable library to 

 Wadham college, Oxford, where he received his education ; 

 this bequcft was accompanied by a ftipend for a botanical 

 lefture, of which we have never heard the refult. He is 

 alfo celebrated for liis critical knowledge of Shakfpeare, of 

 whofe plays he had long meditated an edition ; but refigned 

 his pretentions to Mr. Steevens. The genus dedicated to 

 Mr. Warner, has not however been allowed to retain his 

 name. It is the Hydrastis of Linnaius ; fee that 

 article.
