a 6 % Mr. hud dart’s Account of 
whom a general uniformity of colours is known to pre- 
vail. 
He obferved alfo that, when young, other children 
could difcern cherries on a tree by fome pretended dif- 
ference of colour, though he could only diftinguifh 
them from the leaves by their difference of fize and 
fhape. He obferved alfo, that by means of this difference 
of colour they could fee the cherries at a greater diftance 
than he could, though he could fee other objects at as 
great a diftance as they ; that is, where the fight was not 
aflifted by the colour. Large objects he could fee as well 
as other perfons; and even the fmaller ones if they were 
not enveloped in other things, as in the cafe of cherries 
among the leaves. 
I believe he could never do more than guefs the name 
of any colour ; yet he could diftinguifh white from black, 
or black from any light or bright colour. Dove or ftraw- 
colour he called white, and different colours he fre- 
quently called by the fame name : yet he could difcern a 
difference between them when placed together. In ge- 
neral, colours of an equal degree of brightnefs, how- 
ever they might otherwife differ, he frequently con- 
founded together. Yet a ftriped ribbon he could diftin- 
guifh from a plain one ; but he could not tell what the 
colours were with any tolerable exadlnefs. Dark colours
