Abstract:
(1773-06-30): Combustion of phosphorous over mercury with a burning glass.
"Il aurait été bien inéressant de rassembler cet acide dans cet état pour le peser et avoir l'augmentation du poids pour voir si elle était proportionelle ŕ l'absorption." Difficulties because of its deliquescience. The sentence shows that gain in weight was already an accepted fact for him.
