Having called on nc Cor my opinion with regard
The Use OF CamYhinc for ile purposes of artificial lin

Dumas oi Faris. lis mostly procured frum spirits al
lurIenu"c. AID Is III fact "a very pure esscncc OF
lHrPeni'ie. IL IS capable Of combining with Other
Stbs'narts, asa: 81 being separated again from them,
without being changed ~ rs qualities. IL has there
Tore, like pure Alcohol ana Ether. a permanent and
distinct nature as a chymicul sui siaure. IL is colo,
less, limpid, moderately volatile aud cUiuhusi,ble. IN
The same manner as spirits OF Turpeniine. but i, is moi
explosive. CamphUr differs iroSi Cnmuhine only in
containing oAygene, hence lhe name of Camphinc. o,

'Hamir2f'oB. My opinion IN favor of the u,r of Cam
ph'no for lights, was fully expressed in my lectures last
m,'''er' anu ! see NO cause i"r changing that opinion
The ciscunstancos which recommend it, are as FOL

substance hitherto proposed for common use.
3. IL is sair, in no way explosive, drops no FIRE from,
The wick, aud leaves no FIRE upon IL.

empty.
Remark. The Camyhine Ivy cyposur, n tho a,
may alter some months keeping. become n lille de.
