The Encyclopaedia Britannica Demijohn Edward PDF Download

Excerpt from The Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 8: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature and General Information; Demijohn to Edward It is in Democritus first that we find a real attempt to explain colour. He regards black, red, white and green as primary. White is characteristically smooth, Le. Casting no shadow, even, flat; black is uneven, rough, shadowy and so on. The other colours result front various mixtures of these four, and are infinite in number. Colour itself is not objective; it is found not in the ultimate plenum and vacuum, but only in derived objects according to their physical qualities and relations.
