26243	Does the air in this case undergo any alteration?
26243	If all this is accurate, another question then arises: Why do not blood and the lungs likewise convert fire- air into such an aerial acid?
26243	In this case also I obtained our fire- air.... Whence comes the boiling of nitre, fused in a crucible and obscurely red- hot?
26243	In this case there now arises in the first place the question: Are the vapours of the acid of nitre naturally red?
26243	It is also to be observed that fire- air, vitiated by the lungs, extinguishes fire; why does not the aerial acid attract the phlogiston again?
26243	Must it not follow from this that the fire- air is heavier than our air?
26243	What more is necessary for its ignition?
26243	When this has gone over, the colourless acid follows; but why does the acid make its appearance again so blood- red at the end of the distillation?

26340	O thou valid substance of Metals, how great is thy power, how uninventive is thy virtue, how durable is thy constancy?
26340	They say it is a black thing: What think you, is it not black?
26340	They say, it is a dry water, if Gold or_ Luna_ be to be refined upon the test, must it not be done with_ Saturn_?

46998	May it not be the Acid of the Spirit of Wine itself, resulting from the decomposition of that mixt in the distillation?
46998	May it not be the Marine Acid, but altered by the union it has contracted with the Phlogiston?
46998	Now whence can this difference arise?
46998	Or is the Cream of Tartar itself decomposed by too long boiling?
46998	Or may it not be, with respect to Phosphorus, what the volatile sulphureous spirit is, with respect to Sulphur?
46998	What Acid?
46998	What is it that is kindled in this case?
46998	What must be the consequence, therefore, of mixing these two saline matters together?

14641	My Friend giving the same to him; demanded, whether he would use that Spirit of Salt, he now had, for Metals, or not?
14641	Now, what shall I do, my Master?
14641	Sir, you say true?
14641	So my Master, Is this Sulphureous, and Yellow Glassy Substance the very Philosophick Matter?

45395	Will philosophers never feel, with Walpole, that"a genius transmits more honour by blood than he can receive?"
45395	Will you have the kindness to hire a pony for me, that I may ride to your hills?
45395	[ 41] Granted:--but what connexion has that with the principle of Davy''s lamp, or with any_ Safety_ lamp?
45395	[ 54]_ Quere._ Is this theory correct?
45395	and does the_ over- poling_ impart to it a minute portion of carbon, and is copper, like iron, thus rendered brittle both by oxygen and carbon?
45395	or have they been, as for the most part they are now found, mere mechanical deposits?"
14474	What happens?
14474	Am I right in supposing that anybody here has played at snapdragon?
14474	And going out, why?
14474	And how are these candles made?
14474	And what do you think the bulk of that water is when it assumes the vaporous condition?
14474	And where does all this go?
14474	And you might say,"It is nothing; it is not worth chemical attention; what does it do in the air?"
14474	And, now that I have immersed it in spirit and applied a light to it, in what way does it differ from an ordinary candle?
14474	But can it be steam?
14474	But how does the flame get hold of the fuel?
14474	But if I shut it off, what becomes of the lamp?
14474	But is there nothing else there than nitrogen?
14474	But then you have a right to ask me,"How is it that the air and the oxygen do not equally well burn the candle?"
14474	But then, beyond that, how is it that the candle does not burn in air as well as in oxygen?
14474	But what can this be which we find as the other constituent in water, and which must therefore be that substance which made the hydrogen burn?
14474	But what is that black substance?
14474	But what will you say when I tell you that my breath will put out that candle?
14474	But why does it not burn in that way now, when it is lying in a mass?
14474	But, now, what will you think of this fact?
14474	By what?
14474	Can we get it from the air?
14474	Could you do that?
14474	Did you see that brilliant light?
14474	Do I get carbonic acid?
14474	Do you not see that it is_ not_ in the inside?
14474	Do you remember this kind of experiment?
14474	Do you see that the water has become quite milky?
14474	Do you see what happens?
14474	Does not that shew you what a large bulk of matter is being evolved?
14474	Have you ever seen it?
14474	Here it is seeming to boil up famously; but does it boil?
14474	How burned?
14474	How comes it out of the candle?
14474	How is it that this solid gets there, it not being a fluid?
14474	How shall we get at this?
14474	If I shut the air off, look how it smokes; and why?
14474	If the carbon had been like the lead which I shewed you, or the iron which, in burning, produces a solid substance, what would happen?
14474	Is it anything else?
14474	Is it hydrogen?
14474	Is it not beautiful to think that such a process is going on, and that such a dirty thing as charcoal can become so incandescent?
14474	Is not that a very pretty experiment?
14474	It evidently comes, as to part of it, from the candle; but is it within the candle beforehand?
14474	Now, I have no doubt you will ask, how is it that the oil, which will not burn of itself, gets up to the top of the cotton, where it will burn?
14474	Now, what is the circumstance which makes the lead and carbon differ in this respect?
14474	Now, why is this?
14474	Now, why is this?
14474	Oxygen, as you will immediately imagine, exists in the atmosphere; for how should the candle burn to produce water without it?
14474	Suppose I take this candle, and hold a piece of paper close upon the flame, where is the heat of that flame?
14474	Suppose, in place of having nitrogen, or nitrogen and oxygen, we had pure oxygen as our atmosphere; what would become of us?
14474	Then, what becomes of it?
14474	There is our candle burning in the air: how will it burn in oxygen?
14474	There it is standing over the water, and it can not therefore be steam, but must be a permanent gas of some sort What is it?
14474	This is a very combustible substance; and if it be so combustible in air, what might you expect it would be in oxygen?
14474	This is the first part of our experiment; and now, what follows?
14474	We find one of these is hydrogen: what must that other be which was in the water before the experiment, and which we now have by itself?
14474	What diamond can shine like flame?
14474	What do you think of the contents of that box above there, which I have had made for the purpose?
14474	What is all that smoke?
14474	What is its nature?
14474	What is set free when I put it in the water, as I am about to do again?
14474	What shall we call it, A, B, or C?
14474	What, then, are the comparative weights of these substances?
14474	What, then, is happening?
14474	When you have put the spirit into the dish, you have the cup and the fuel; and are not the raisins acting like the wicks?
14474	Where, then, is this water which we get from a candle?
14474	Why does a piece of potassium decompose water?
14474	Why does it hold?
14474	Why does it occur?"
14474	Why is my hand fastened to this place, and why am I able to pull this pump about?
14474	Why is that?
14474	Why is this?
14474	Why?
14474	You have asked me several times, and I am very glad you have,"How do you weigh gases?"
14474	You have here a solid substance with no vessel to contain it; and how is it that this solid substance can get up to the place where the flame is?
14474	You would be puzzled for a good while if I asked you what the state of this vessel is, what is inside it, and why it is there?
14474	[ A light was then applied, when the hydrogen burnt] What is there now in the other jar?
14474	how is it that I can hardly get my hand away?
14474	or, when it is made a fluid, then how is it that it keeps together?
