63 of 40 per cent, of sulphur and 60 of oxygen : and the sul- phuric acid enters largely into the composition of that abun- dant substance sulphate of lime or gypsum, and is likewise the mineralizer of some of the metals, as of lead, &c. Sulphur is believed not to be a pure elementary sub- stance : for, although its elements have not hitherto been ascertained, Kie assistance derived from Galvanism has enabled the chemist to detect hydrogen as one of its con- stituents, and tended to render it p...robable that oxygen is another of them. Carbon. The purest form in wl. Ich Carbon is found is in the diamond ; for some experiments tend to prove that the actual quantity of carbon, in equal weights of diamond and of charcoal, is precisely the same. The diamond is pure carbon ; and the only difference between it and charcoal seems to be, that the latter contains either hydrogen or water, from which the diamond is absolutely free. Carbon is the basis of several of the combustible mine- rals, as of coal, bitumen, amber, &c.
