First printing of two chemical papers. ""In a research on sal ammoniac (the first paper offered), Bucquet, who criticised Black's experiments, found that dry carbon dioxide is not absorbed by quicklime, and concluded that fixed air and lime do not combine without intermediate, which is water. This is an early recognition of the effect of moisture on chemical reactions. Bucquet's work on gases overlaps Lavoisier's early researches...and probably provided him with much information.""(Partington III, p. 103-4). The second paper offered deals with the mineral Zeolite.
