About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1779. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... (c)f different inflammable airs compared with common air, with which account I was favoured by Mr. Enee: A vessel containing common air to the weight of 138 grams, will contain of inflammable air extracted from iron 25 grains; of air extracted from marshes, 92 grains; and of that extracted from oil of vitriol and spirit of-wine, 1 50 grains. I am, Dear Sir, r Yoursj &c. London, 1st March, 1779; J. Inoenhousz. NUMBER IX. Further Experiments on Pyrophori, in a Letter to the Reverend Dr. Priestley: By William Bewly. In my former paper on the subject of Pyrophori., printed in the appendix to the 3d volume of your Observations on Air, I suggested objections against the generally received hypothesis relating to the accenfion of the various classes of Pyrophori discovered by Homberg and M. du Suvigny j and which may properly enough be distinguished by the titles of 1. the Aluminous, or that of the Homberg; 2. the Metallic, or those made with the three vitriols of iron, copper, zinc 5 and 3. the Neutral, or those composed of vitriolated tartar and Glauber's salt. The two last classes were discovered by M. du buvigny, who ascribed the spontaneous accenfion of all the three kinds to the presence of a highly concentrated vitriolic acid, existing in them ip an uncombined or nearJy disengaged state, and generating generating a beat sufficient to kindle the inflammable ingredient, by eagerly attracting moisture from the air. In opposition to this theory, in my letter above referred to, I aflerted that Pyropber't of all the above-mentioned e;afles might be prepared, which did not contain any vitriolic acid j and that therefore the cause of the accension affigned by M. du Suvigny lould not be the true one. I promised likewise to take an opportunity of describing the process.
