Print on Demand. This book delves into the ways that colors have been used throughout history in a practical sense. The author analyzes the changes in colors of natural bodies and how those changes were used for both practical purposes like dying cloth, as well as artistic ones like paintings. The book begins with a brief history of color theory and practice in the ancient world, with particular attention paid to the use of colors in Egypt and the Near East. The author argues that the ancient Egyptians had a sophisticated understanding of color theory and that they used this knowledge to create beautiful and lasting works of art. The book also discusses the role of color in the development of alchemy and optics, concluding with a discussion of the significance of color in our own time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from An Experimental Inquiry Into the Cause of the Changes of Colours in Opake and Coloured Bodies, With an Historical Preface: Relative to the Parts of Philosophy Therein Examined, and to the Several Arts and Manufactures Dependent on Them

T appears to be extremely worth the Time and Pains of philofophers to inquire into the Orders of the Colours of natural Bodies, in the Manner prepofed and begun by Sir Ifaac Newton; and par ticulary to compare the Changes of Colour, which turn up in chemical Operations, with the other Changes, which happen to the Subjeéts of the Ope rations, at the fame time. Nothing feems more likely than this to be a Key to the Philofophy of the fmall Parts of natural Bodies, and of their mu tual Influences. Hartley's Obferva. C. 2. Se&, 4. Prop. 60.
