Note 2 — ELEMENTS OF THE THEORY of CHYMISTRY. (continued 2)

M. Malouin, however, hath found a way to unite these two metallic substances: but then he does it by the interposition of sulphur; that is, he combines crude Antimony with Mercury. This combination is brought about in the same way that Æthiops Mineral is made; viz. either by fusion, or by trituration only without fire. It resembles the common Æthiops, and M. Malouin calls it Æthiops of Antimony. He observed that Mercury unites with Antimony much more intimately, by melting, than by rubbing them together.
