About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1777 Excerpt: ...theresiduum effervesces with acids. Neither is the vitriolic acid proper for thk use: for though it effervesces with all marles, it does not dissolve their calcareous earths, but only forms with them a whitifli coagulum, which will not pass through the filter. But all the other mineral acids, may be employed to equal advantage; as the acid of sea-salt, nitre, tic. The proportions of clay and sand, contained in the residuum, or unsoluble parts of this process, are discovered by what is called elutriation, which is thus performed.

In the same manner repeat this operation, again and again, till the water comes oft perfectly pure; the substance that then remains is sand, mixed, perhaps, with some flakes of talc; and whatever this substance wants of the weight of the residuum employed, is the weight of pure clay, carried avay by the water, in this process of elutriation. This experiment, for discovering what proportion Is contained in marie, of calcareous earth, clay, and land, is not proposed as a matter of mere curiosity, but that the farmer, who will t;.kc the small trouble os examining ma: le in this manner, may thereby know for which of h s lands the different sorts of marie is most proper: for though marles wiil fertilize ail sorts of land, yet not equally.
