-264 Mr, hudd art’s Account of 
he thought brown, though they were exactly of the fame 
fhade with the other, which he properly called black. 
He fpoke, however, with diffidence as to all thofe ftripes; 
and it muft be owned, the black was not very diftindt: the 
light green he called yellow ; but he was not very pofi- 
tive : he faid, “ I think this is what you call yellow.” 
The middle ftripe, which had a flight tinge of red, 
he called a fort of blue. But he was molt of all deceived 
by the orange colour; of this he fpoke very confidently, 
faying, “ This is the colour of grafs; this is green.” I 
alfo fhewed him a great variety of ribbons, the colour of 
which he fometimes named rightly, and fometimes as 
differently as poflible from the true colours. 
I afked him, Whether he imagined it poflible for all 
the various colours he faw, to be mere difference of light 
and fhade ; whether he thought they could be various 
degrees between white and black; and that all colours 
could be compofed of thefe two mixtures only? With 
Tome hefitation he replied, No, he did imagine there 
was fome other difference. 
I could not conveniently procure from this perfon an 
account in writing; but I have given his own words, 
having fet them down in writing immediately. Befides, 
as this converfation happened only the 10th of laft 
month
