Sec. 5. And different in association from what it is alone. 69
Sec. 6. It is not certain whether any two people see the same colors
in things. 69
Sec. 7. Form, considered as an element of landscape, includes light
and shade. 69
Sec. 8. Importance of light and shade in expressing the character of

Sec. 9. Recapitulation. 71

CHAPTER VI.--Recapitulation.

Sec. 3. And deceptive chiaroscuro the lowest of all. 73
