κατά γενική ομολογία (it has been) generally admitted that Explanation: In cases of the chemical union of one body with another, the substances combined are dispersed every where through the whole mass. Thus chalk is a compound of lime and carbonic acid. Now how minute a portion soever of chalk we tae, we shall find it to contain both lime and carbonic acid. How minute a portion soever of water we take, we shall find it to contain both oxygen and hydrogen. How minute a portion soever of saltpetre we examine, we shall find it to contain both nitric acid and potash. Now this could not be the case unless the atoms of the combining bodies united with each other. This accordingly is the opinion universally entertained respecting chemical combinations. It has been long generally admitted, and does not therefore require any farther illustration. http://web.lemoyne.edu/~giunta/tthomson.html |
