To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So also when organic matter decays in the presence of these same alkalies, a similar com- bination, although to a very slight extent, results. Nitric acid is endowed with such violent affinities that it does not remain in a free state. It at once enters into combination with the alkalies, forming a class of salts, of which saltpetre is the best known example, and from those salts the common nitric 16 224 BEUGION AND CBEiOffaJ. [Lrar.VIL acid is extracted for the uses of the arts. Nitrogen^ you ...will notice, acts here very much like a selfr willed child. All the powers of nature cannot com- pel it to combine directly with os^gen ; but if you offer to it these alkalies as an inducement^ and make your approaches sufficiently indirect^ you can coax it to combine, and nitric acid is then formed We do not understand how the peculiar conditions juai mentioned conspire to produce the result ; but the whole phenomenon seems to be mysteriously coih nected with ozonized oxygen, and is undoubtedly another phase of that obscure subject^ albtropism, to which we alluded in a previous Lecture.
