Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air

Air -- Early works to 1800; Chemistry -- Early works to 1800
[25] The first account of this curious process was, I believe, given in
the Mem. de l'Ac. de Sc. de Paris for 1742. Though seemingly less
volatile than the vitriolic ether, it boils with a much smaller degree
of heat. One day last summer, it boiled in the coolest room of my house;
as it gave me notice by the explosion attending its driving out the
cork. To save the bottle, and to prevent the total loss of the liquor by
evaporation, I found myself obliged instantly to carry it down to my
cellar.
