Description

Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture on Oxygen Gas: Delivered in the University of New York, Session 1848-9 It so happened that though from time to time after the thirteenth century different gaseous substances were accidentally encountered, they all possessed the quality of extinguishing the light of a. Candle, and were therefore incompetent to support combustion, and when breathed were destructive of animal life. The doctrine that these were only vitiated forms of the atmosphere seemed very plausible, and things went on in this way until the middle of the last century, when the capital discovery was made by Dr. Priestley that the air is not a simple substance, and that so far from being the only existence of the kind, there is a great family of analogous bodies, each of the members of which possesses peculiar properties. He completely broke down the ancient doctrine of the unity of the atmosphere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
