Note 55 — CLASS IV. METALS.
William Withering translation
The degrees of heat here expreſſed, are according to Farenheit’s ſcale.
By ſaturating phlogiſton, Profeſſor Bergman means to expreſs the proportionate quantities taken away from each metallic ſubſtance, when diſſolved by means of acids, and of courſe reduced to a calciform ſtate. The laſt column only expreſſes their attractions to this part of their phlogiſton, not to that which ſtill remains united to them in a calciform ſtate. W.
