the_o matter_n i_o employ_v be_v the_o very_a same_o that_o be_v make_v use_n of_o by_o the_o ingenious_a german_a chemist_n in_o their_o noctiluca_n for_o some_o inquisitive_a man_n have_v very_o late_o tell_v i_o that_o the_o german_n mingle_v two_o or_o more_o distillable_n material_n whereas_o i_o employ_v but_o one_o matter_n capable_a of_o distillation_n second_o though_o all_o the_o twenty_o forego_v observation_n and_o most_o of_o the_o ten_o additional_a one_o adnex_v to_o they_o be_v make_v with_o that_o substance_n which_o i_o guess_v to_o be_v at_o least_o the_o chief_a that_o be_v employ_v by_o the_o german_n which_o be_v do_v for_o a_o particular_a reason_n not_o needful_a to_o be_v here_o express_v yet_o i_o first_o think_v and_o upon_o my_o very_a first_o trial_n find_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o make_v a_o noctiluca_n of_o a_o dry_a and_o pulverable_a substance_n that_o for_o aught_o i_o can_v guess_v be_v never_o employ_v by_o mr._n krafft_n or_o those_o he_o have_v his_o secret_n from_o and_o beside_o this_o second_o sort_n of_o phosphorus_n we_o make_v a_o three_o that_o be_v obtain_v from_o a_o body_n that_o never_o have_v be_v either_o a_o

from_o those_o make_v of_o the_o liquor_n hereafter_o to_o be_v name_v yet_o i_o can_v stay_v at_o present_a to_o say_v any_o thing_n more_o of_o they_o be_v content_a to_o have_v intimate_v that_o self-shining_a phosphorus_n have_v be_v actual_o obtain_v from_o more_o single_a subject_n than_o one_o three_o to_o name_v the_o matter_n though_o never_o so_o explicit_o will_v not_o in_o my_o opinion_n have_v suffice_v to_o inform_v those_o that_o will_v work_v upon_o it_o for_o chemist_n themselves_o will_v in_o all_o probability_n work_n as_o hitherto_o on_o other_o occasion_n they_o have_v wrought_v upon_o the_o volatile_a and_o saline_a which_o they_o presume_v to_o be_v the_o only_a spirituous_a and_o noble_a part_n of_o the_o concrete_a throw_v away_o the_o rest_n as_o useless_a and_o abominable_a and_o on_o this_o occasion_n let_v i_o add_v that_o i_o be_v the_o rather_o induce_v to_o set_v down_o this_o process_n that_o we_o may_v both_o observe_v and_o thankful_o acknowledge_v the_o wisdom_n and_o bounty_n of_o the_o great_a author_n of_o nature_n who_o for_o our_o encouragement_n to_o study_v even_o his_o mean_a work_n have_v be_v please_v in_o a_o body_n

or_o a_o alcalisate_n salt_n to_o be_v predominant_a in_o the_o luciferous_a matter_n i_o then_o make_v use_v of_o but_o have_v since_o employ_v some_o of_o the_o water_n that_o be_v take_v out_o of_o a_o receiver_n after_o it_o have_v there_o be_v somewhat_o impregnate_v with_o that_o matter_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o try_v whether_o this_o water_n wherein_o probable_o the_o saline_a particle_n of_o our_o subject_n may_v be_v more_o copious_o dissolve_v or_o more_o active_a will_v not_o discover_v itself_o to_o contain_v somewhat_o of_o volatile_a alcaly_a and_o to_o satisfy_v myself_o of_o this_o i_o drop_v a_o little_a of_o the_o liquor_n upon_o some_o syrup_n of_o violet_n that_o i_o have_v put_v upon_o a_o piece_n of_o clean_a paper_n and_o find_v i_o be_v not_o mistake_v in_o think_v it_o will_v change_v the_o colour_n of_o the_o syrup_n from_o blue_n to_o green_n which_o yet_o it_o do_v more_o faint_o than_o the_o volatile_a alcaly_n as_o they_o call_v they_o even_o when_o they_o be_v phlegmatic_a be_v wont_a to_o do_v this_o liquor_n likewise_o as_o i_o remember_v make_v some_o conflict_n with_o spirit_n of_o salt_n when_o i_o first_o put_v they_o together_o as_o i_o infer_v from_o the_o commotion_n of_o the_o mixture_n and_o the_o bubble_n thereby_o produce_v nor_o be_v these_o the_o only_a way_n by_o which_o i_o be_v induce_v to_o think_v that_o a_o volatile_a alcaly_a not_o a_o acid_n salt_n or_o spirit_n be_v the_o predominant_a if_o not_o the_o only_a salt_n contain_v in_o the_o faint_o impregnated_a liquor_n observe_v viii_o before_o i_o have_v set_v down_o many_o of_o the_o observation_n contain_v in_o the_o first_o paper_n i_o be_v desirous_a to_o try_v what_o will_v happen_v to_o our_o luciferous_a matter_n in_o such_o a_o vacuum_n or_o if_o you_o please_v in_o such_o high_o rarify_v air_n as_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v produce_v by_o our_o air-pump_n but_o in_o regard_n a_o glass_n be_v to_o be_v open_v in_o the_o exhaust_a receiver_n which_o be_v a_o difficult_a work_n to_o do_v i_o be_v fain_o for_o want_v of_o convenience_n to_o desist_v from_o my_o endeavour_n and_o prosecute_v some_o other_o experiment_n most_o of_o they_o already_o recite_v till_o at_o length_n be_v furnish_v though_o not_o with_o accurate_a yet_o with_o tolerable_a mean_n of_o make_v a_o trial_n and_o think_v a_o imperfect_a one_o better_a than_o none_o at_o all_o i_o take_v a_o vial_n that_o have_v some_o luciferous_a matter_n in_o it_o though_o but_o such_o as_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o shine_v long_o at_o a_o time_n and_o this_o vial_n be_v well_o stop_v i_o keep_v till_o the_o flame_n or_o light_n within_o it_o expire_v then_o have_v place_v the_o vial_n in_o a_o receiver_n on_o our_o pneumatick_a engine_n we_o pump_v out_o the_o air_n and_o then_o not_o without_o some_o difficulty_n pull_v out_o the_o cork_n in_o a_o dark_a place_n whereupon_o there_o present_o appear_v some_o light_n in_o the_o cavity_n of_o the_o vial_n which_o i_o the_o less_o wonder_v at_o because_o we_o find_v by_o certain_a sign_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o disadvantageous_a circumstance_n we_o can_v not_o so_o well_o pump_v out_o the_o air_n and_o hinder_v the_o ingress_n of_o new_a as_o not_o to_o leave_v though_o but_o very_o little_a yet_o enough_o to_o excite_v a_o flame_n that_o by_o former_a experience_n we_o find_v to_o need_v but_o a_o inconsiderable_a quantity_n of_o fresh_a air_n but_o we_o observe_v that_o by_o the_o commotion_n of_o the_o air_n occasion_v by_o the_o pump_v the_o flame_n will_v be_v as_o it_o be_v ventilate_v and_o blow_v up_o or_o make_v to_o shine_v more_o vivid_o observe_v ix_o but_o not_o be_v satisfy_v by_o the_o forego_n experiment_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o vary_v it_o after_o the_o follow_a manner_n there_o be_v take_v a_o pretty_a large_a piece_n of_o paper_n which_o be_v well_o moisten_v and_o partly_o besmear_v with_o our_o luciferous_a matter_n be_v thrust_v into_o a_o somewhat_o wide-mouthed_a glass_n which_o be_v put_v unstop_v into_o a_o receiver_n fasten_v to_o our_o pneumatick_a pump_n and_o with_o it_o keep_v in_o a_o dark_a place_n do_v there_o shine_v as_o i_o expect_v it_o will_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o contact_n of_o the_o air_n yet_o contain_v in_o the_o receiver_n present_o after_o this_o the_o pump_n be_v set_v a_o work_n and_o we_o observe_v as_o former_o that_o the_o commotion_n make_v of_o the_o air_n about_o the_o vial_n do_v manifest_o enough_o increase_v the_o light_n for_o a_o while_n and_o that_o the_o light_n seem_v to_o be_v lessen_v during_o the_o pause_n intercept_v between_o these_o commotion_n both_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o rest_n as_o of_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o air._n and_o i_o likewise_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o flame_n that_o seem_v to_o pass_v from_o one_o part_n of_o the_o wrinkle_a paper_n to_o the_o other_o do_v sometime_o appear_v to_o have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o palpitation_n and_o to_o afford_v a_o very_a unequal_a light_n and_o though_o when_o the_o external_a air_n be_v let_v in_o through_o the_o pump_n into_o the_o exhaust_a receiver_n the_o flame_n seem_v to_o be_v quench_v yet_o i_o judge_v that_o to_o be_v only_o a_o temporary_a effect_n of_o the_o waterish_a vapour_n that_o the_o air_n have_v take_v along_o with_o it_o in_o its_o way_n through_o the_o pump_n and_o therefore_o i_o cause_v the_o receiver_n to_o be_v take_v off_o the_o engine_n and_o then_o the_o spectator_n be_v quick_o of_o my_o opinion_n observe_v that_o upon_o the_o free_a contact_n of_o the_o fresh_a outward_a air_n which_o be_v not_o like_o that_o last_o mention_v deprave_a by_o moist_a vapour_n the_o matter_n adhere_v to_o the_o paper_n be_v quick_o see_v to_o shine_v again_o and_o that_o more_o

exhaust_v as_o on_o other_o occasion_n it_o have_v often_o be_v though_o by_o the_o phoenomena_fw-la hitherto_o recite_v it_o seem_v to_o the_o spectator_n that_o the_o flame_n be_v manifest_o befriend_v and_o the_o light_n increase_v by_o the_o air_n yet_o i_o think_v the_o experiment_n deserve_v to_o be_v repeat_v when_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o with_o more_o exactness_n observe_v x._o beside_o the_o liquor_n that_o afford_v we_o the_o forego_n experiment_n we_o save_v a_o little_a though_o but_o very_o little_a of_o a_o substance_n that_o be_v not_o liquid_a but_o
