This experiment was repeated with the volatile alkali, and also with thefossil or alkali of sea-salt, and exactly with the same event. The third proposition had less appearance of probability than theforegoing; but, as an accurate experiment was the only test of itstruth, I reduced eight grains of perfect quick-lime made of chalk, to anexceedingly subtile powder, by slaking it in two drams of distilledwater boiling hot, and immediately threw the mixture into eighteenounces of distilled water in... a flask. After shaking it, a lightsediment, which floated thro' the liquor, was allowed to subside andthis, when collected with the greatest care, and dryed, weighed, asnearly as I could guess, one third of a grain. The water tasted stronglyof the lime, had all the qualities of lime-water, and yielded twelvegrains of precipitate, upon the addition of salt of tartar. In repeatingthis experiment, the quantity of sediment was sometimes less than theabove, and sometimes amounted to half a grain. It consisted partly of anearth which effervesced violently with _aqua fortis_, and partly of anochry powder, which would not dissolve in that acid.
