metals are extracted from their [[underline]] Ores [[/underline]] by a Solution of [[underline]] Mercury, [[/underline]] and [[underline]] vitriolic Acids. [[/underline]] [[deletion]] [[unclear]] [[/deletion]] [[deletion]] [[unclear]] [[/deletion]] [[unclear]] are Acids. to make common [[underline]] Sea Salt [[/underline]] mix [[underline]] fossil fixed Alkaly [[/underline]] and [[underline]] Muriatic Acid. [[/underline]] On quart of Sea Water contains one ounce of Salt, some [[underline]] Vitriolic Tartar, Muriatic Acid, [[/underline]] and some [[underline]] Bituminous Earth. -- [[/underline]] The [[underline]] Acids [[/underline]] turn all Vegetables [[underline]] green, [[/underline]] the [[underline]] Alkalies [[/underline]] make them red; -- [[underline]] fixed air [[/underline]] is an [[underline]] Acid, Iron, Oil of Vitriol [[unclear]] [[/underline]] The [[underline]] Acids [[/underline]] are of the [[underline]] Mineral [[/underline]] kind, the [[underline]] Vitriolic, [[/underline]] the [[underline]] Nitrous, [[/underline]] and the [[underline]] Muriatic; [[/underline]] of the [[underline]] Vegetable [[/underline]] kind [[underline]] Vinegar, Tartar, Lemon [[/underline]] &c The [[underline]] Alkalies [[/underline]] are of three kinds viz the [[underline]] Fossil, [[/underline]] the [[underline]] Vegetable, [[/underline]] and the [[underline]] Volatile, [[/underline]] such as [[underline]] Chalk, Marble [[/underline]] &c, [[underline]] Potash [[/underline]] which is any Vegetable substance pulverized by fire; [[underline]] Shell fish [[/underline]] of any kind has an [[underline]] Alkaline [[/underline]] property. [[underline]] Copper, Iron, [[/underline]] and [[underline]] fixed Air, [[/underline]] are easily discouverable in Water. [[underline]] Iron [[/underline]] is detected in Water by [[underline]] Prussian Blue, [[/underline]] which combines with the Mineral, and makes a precipitate
