...concludes, " that whiteness is the usual colour of light ; for light is a confused aggregate of rays endued with all sorts of colours, as they are promiscuously...darted from the various parts of luminous bodies." When there is a due proportion of the ingredients, that is, of all the simple colours, whiteness is... | |

It follows that white light is composite, "a confused aggregate of rays indued with all sorts...darted from the various parts of luminous bodies." And this was verified by experiments in combining colors: These things being so, it can be no longer disputed,... | |
