To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When a moist azotised animal matter is exposed to the action of the air, ammonia is always Hberated, and nitric acid is never formed. But when alkalies or alkaline bases are present, a union of oxygen with the nitrogen takes place under the same circumstances, and nitrates are formed together with the other products of oxi- dation. Although we see the most simple means and direct methods employed in the great processes of decomposition which proceed in nature, still we find that the final resul...t depends on a succession of actions, which are essentially influenced by the chemical nature of the bodies submitted to decom- position. When it is observed that the character of a sub- stance remains unaltered in a whole series of phe- nomena, there is no reason to ascribe a new cha- 278 EREMACAUSIS OR DECAY racter to it, for the purpose of explaining a single phenomenon, especially where the explanation of that according to known facts offers no difficulty. The most distinguished philosophers suppose that the nitrogen in an animal substance, when ex- posed to the action of air, water, and alkaline bases, obtains the power to unite directly with oxygen, and form nitric acid, but we ai*e not acquainted with a single fact which justifies this opinion.
