Encyclop. Brit.Art. Excrement
Homburg is the only one who has
particularly analysed and examined
human ordure; and this
was done to satisfy an alchemical
project of one of his Friends, who
pretended that from this matter
a white oil could be obtained
without smell, and capable of
fixing Mercury into Silver. The
oil was found by Homburg but
mercury was not fixed by it.

This same matter yielded to
Homburg, who treatedit by a
complete fermentation or putrefaction
excited by a digestion
during 40 Days in a gentle
water bath heat and who afterwards
distilled it an oil without
colour and without bad smell
and such as he endeavoured to
find but which did not as we
said before, fix Mercury in Silver

1. Frigidarium
or Conservatory

2. Cooling therein
by artificial cold

3 Ante-cooling Room
by the natural
cold of the evening

The Ante-cooling
room aught to be
as away as possible
& thatched open
shed- the thatch
reaching down very
low

A Windmill on
the top of the Frigidarium?
- But
would not this require
it to be stronger than
would otherwise be
necessary?

Could the Windmill
be used for winding
up weights during
high winds for
raising things when
the wind failed.

The WindMill combined
with Bramah's
engine for
treasuring of force.

Required an Ane
to be connected with
the Windmill, an
Anemometer for
keeping a constant
Register of the force
of the Wind.

It should have
either that, or
Water or some other
constant burthen
to spend itself
upon when not
employd upon the
occasional Burthen.

Lush parts of the
Frigidarium &c as
are not used for
Preservation, may
be employd as
Warehouses for
articles that are
periodically cheap
and dear - as Coals - Corn &c
Current
would shew the
differences, and
thence the gain to
be made.

Could not Wind
in this way and
with this elevation
be used for supplying
the Houses round
about with water?
At least for Cascades
& other Water Works
for the Panopticon
Grounds.

The Graduated -
Temperature House
might serve for
experiments in the
preservation of Seeds
in a gravely state
The seeds being kept
in air of the ordinary
density - in
rarefied or exhausted
air - and in condensed
air.

The ground keeps
seeds in a porous
state - why?- by
uniformity of temperature
and the
absence of the quantity
of air necessary
for germinating.

Fisherman are well
acquainted with the
use of the Air bladder
or Sound of the
Cod; and are very dextrous
in perforating
this part of a live
fish with a needle,
in order to disengage
the inclosed air:
for without this operation
it could not
be kept under water
in the Well-boats
and brought fresh
to market....

The glutinous parts
about the head lose
their delicate flavour
after it has been 24
hours under out of
the water even in
winter, in which these
and other fish of this
genus are in highest
season.

18 Aug 1798 Frigidarium

Immersion in water
appears to be a preservative
against alchiness:
probably because
atmospheric
air is necessary to
that species of vegetation-.
Extract from Encyclop.
Britannica article
Flowering of Bulbous
Roots Plants

Sometimes the roots
will become mouldy in
several parts while
they stand above the Water, and
the cleaning of them is to no purpose
for it will eat and spread the further,
and frequently eat through
two or three of their Coats. In
this Case they must immediately
be covered with Water: when the
mould will be stopped, and
the roots become sound, and
flower as well as those which
never had any such distemper.
If the roots are suffered
to remain in Water all the
year, they will not decay; but
will flower again at their proper
season, and that as vigorously
as those which have been
taken out and dried.

To preserve Currant
or Gooseberries ripe
instead of water fill
up the vessel with
expressed juice of the
same.

So Cherries or Raspberries
with Currant
juice boiled & clarified

So with Hartshorn
Jelly using fruit juice
instead of water - and
being put into a conical
pot, the mixture may
be drawn out entire
as out of a mould.

Even Strawberries &
Mulberries might
perhaps be thus preserved.

If necessary, extract
the Air previously by
an Air Pump.
