Note 93 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Professor P. Gorini, author of 'I vulcani sperimentali,' is said to have made some experiments in his laboratory at Lodi during the month of September 1873, with a liquid composition of which he preserves the secret, and which envelopes in flames and completely destroys without noise or odour whatever animal substance is immersed in it. But some doubts have been raised as to its practicability.
