N O T E S
ON THE CHEMISTRY OF THE TEXT
By C. H. gill, Esq. of Univeesitt College, Londok.
P. 4. Direction to submit any wine tlmt is not aour to distil-
lation. (Sour wine is deficient in alcohol; tbat body having
been changed into acetic acid by oxidation.) ' In the language
of the mystical ideas Avhich prevailed in the dawn of Chemistry,
the colouring matters, sugar <fec. of the wine are called ' the .4.
elemeutis,' or as it were the * rotten faeces of wine' 1 1
The direction to distill the wine seven times is a good practical
suggestion for the obtaining of strong alcohol which will burn
well. Then follows a description of the distilling appai-atus,
which seems to have been an-anged, to ensure a very slow distil-
lation, so as to obtain a product as colourless and scentless as
possible.
P. 5. The second way to make the Quinte essence depends on
distillation of alcohol by means of the heat of fermenting horse-
dung ; also the fifth manner.
P. 6. The directions for gilding burning Avater are all nonsense ;
but as the witer had no means of testing the truth of his state-
ments, they may have been made in good faith.
P. 7. The idea which he expresses, that this gilt burning water
will make you well and young, is difficult to explain, except on
the assumption that, it being the strongest of alcohol, a very
little served to produce that elevation of spirits which seemed to
bring back the spring of youth.
P. 7, 1. 6 from the bottom. The word liquibles in the text does
not mean liquids, for a liquid cannot be made hot enough to bo
quenched. If the original liquibles cannot be retained I should
substitute the word liqidables, meaning those things which can
NOTES.
27
be liquefied by heat. Iiuleed in the next passage we find stated
that if Saturn (the alchemists' mystical name for Lead) be
quenched ifec, and that if then Mars (Iron) be quenched in the
same liquid, it will acquire the softness of Saturn. Or if you
quench lead in spirit which has bad iron first cooled in it, it
becomes hard.
Of course there is no truth whatever in the above statements.
P. 8. The fire without coals <&c. is ' corrosive subliinate,' most
probably containing an" excess of Sulphuric acid (vitriol) as an
impurity. If CojiiDer (Venus) or Tin (Jujsiter) be dij^t into this
solution of mercury they will have a dei^osit of mercury formed
on their surface, which will give them a pearly appearance.
P. 8. To bring- Gold into calx. When gold is treated in the
way directed, a fine powder of gold of a brown or yellow colour
is left. This might readily have been mistaken for a calx by
those who had no clear ideas of what calx really was.
P. 9. The departing of gold from silver is essentially the same
as the plan practised at the present day.
To get the Quintessence of Gold. 1 can make nothing of the
directions, that is, I cannot see that they (the directions) hide
any real truth.
P. 1 0. How to get the Quintessence of Antimony. I can make
nothing of this part, and can only suggest that the vinegar used
contained hydrochloric acid, and when distilled with ' Myn Anti-
mony' (native sulj^hide of antimony) gave a distillate of Chloride
of Antimony containing some ' kermes' which is red.
From this point onward there is little or nothing that can be
explained by a Chemist.
