This fuming Liquor then I thought
would much conduce to the diſcovery I
deſir'd to make, ſince it ſav'd me the need
of conveying any hot Body with it into
the Receiver, and would not darken it
with fumes before the time. Wherefore
having ty'd to the Viol a great weight of
Lead, to keep it from being lifted up by
the drawing out of the Cork; and having
ty'd to the ſtopple one end of a ſtring, of
which the other end was made faſt to the
Cover of the Pneumatical Glaſs, the Li
quor was carefully cloſ'd up after the
wonted manner; then the Air being dili
gently pump'd out, the Viol was unſtopt
in the empty'd Receiver: and though
immediately, npon the drawing out of the

thrown up ſome white fumes, which
