remarkable ImperfeBion of Sight. 613 
fame, I have often thought them a good match; but 
yellows (light, dark, and middle) and all degrees of blue, 
except thofe very pale, commonly called Iky, I know 
perfectly well, and can difcern a deficiency, in any of 
thofe colours, to a particular nicety; a full purple and 
deep blue fometimes baffle me. I married my daugh- 
ter to a genteel, worthy man a few years ago; the day 
before the marriage he came to my houfe, dreffed in a 
new fuit of fine cloth deaths. I was much difpleafed that 
he fhould come (as I fuppofed) in black : faid, He fhould 
go back to change his colour. But my daughter faid, 
No, no ; the colour is very genteel ; that it was my eyes 
that deceived me. He was a gentleman of the law, in a 
fine rich claret-coloured drefs, which is as much a black 
to my eyes as any black that ever was dyed. She has 
been married feveral years ; no child living, and my fon 
is unmarried ; fo how this impediment may defeend from 
me is unknown. 
I have a general good fatisfaclion in the midft of this 
my inability ; can fee objects at a diftance when I am on 
travel with an acquaintance, and can diftinguifh the fize v 
figure, or fpace, equal to moll, and I believe as quick, 
colour excepted.
