The next' day I provided a fmall apparatus, adapted to this purpofc, at my lodgings, wJiich was very ealy, as it required no other velTels but fuch as are in conftant family ufe, and with this I prelentiy impregnated a quan- tity of the New River water, fo as to mal^e it iiTibibe about its bulk of air. But I was far from having hit upon the eafteji method of do- ing it •, for my jars were of an equal width throughout. However, with thefe vefTels the procels was compleatcd in about twenty mi- nu...tes, or half an hour. A few days after this, having an invitation to wait upon Sir George Savile, I earned with me a bottle of my impregnated water, and told him the ufe that m.ight be made of it, T viz. 274 Of i^^^ Lnpregjmtlon of Water viz. that of fupplying a pleafant and vvhole- fome beverage for feamen, and fuch as might probably prevent or cure the fea-fcurvy. Sir George, with that warmth with which he efpoiifes every thing that he conceives to be for the public good, infifted upon writing a card immediately to Lord Sandwich, propofmg to introduce me to him, as having a ■propofal for the ufe of the na'-oy.
