APPLICATION 
Having, I hope, rendered my meaning clearer to phdosophical readers 
in the foregoing pages, than it was in the first edition of this Essay, I 
wish to make the work more useful to those also who wish for a guide 
to their Pencils, in forming groups of flowers, by giving particular explana¬ 
tions of the blots. 
I shall therefore suppose, for sake of illustration, that each blot is a 
group of flowers; but must at the same time observe, that they have not 
been formed with the most distant idea of their being examples, in re¬ 
spect to the contour of flowers. They are merely compact blots of colours, 
exhibiting the effect produced by arranging them according to the theory 
delivered 0 by the foregoing pages; and as such, I shall endeavour to explain 
the principles of their formation, by which they may be made 
the student in painting.
