41.
To enable the Table to
support shelves fixt to
it and projecting beyond
it, attach to
the legs transverse
pieces at bottom, to
serve as claws.
42
The saucers being
made equal and similar
to each other
when one saucer wasis
found not sufficient
to sink the vessel, another
may be added
under it, threaded by
the same wires.
43
On the preservanda
being taken out of the
Vessels it should be
ascertained how long
they will keep on being
exposed to the atmosphere
44
Per H-K. The difference
in temperature will be more
accurately determined by
the thermometer than by
difference of conservability.
Per J.B. True: but
the object is to determine
to what degrees of
the thermometer conservation
and non-conservation
respectively correspond.
44.
Parapet rails to the
shelves.
In front of each shelf
a horizontal was
supported on wooden
uprights.
Uses - to save the vessels
from being thrown
down in taking them
off the shelf: and thus
to enable the hand to
perform its operations the
more freely and promptly
in the finest lamplight.
45
The existing shelves
will hold 1100 8 oz
phials -
- 1400 4 oz do
The Table with two
Rows of Shelves fixed
upon it one foot broad
will hold - 1600
8 oz phials which
with the above will
make a total of 2700
46
diameter of the sample
wide-mouthed camphor
phial supposed to be a
4-ounce phial 1 3/4 Inches
Say (to make allowance) 2
Diameter of a 2 gallon
cask is 9
Thence a 2-gallon
cask would occupy
in one diameter the
span of phials 5
do the other way 5
5 x 5=25
47
Fowls on their own
account would not
pay in comparison of
other articles: the cheapest ordinary
price of a fowl
being so much as 4s
(in London) and the
dearest ordinary price
not more than 6s. 6d
or 7s. (per Mrs Stoker)
48
But fowls would make very
good representatives for
partridges and pheasants:
since (Mr do)
partridges and pheasants
keep longer.
49
For the same reason,
rabbits will make good
representatives for hares.
50
Venison would hardly
be worth trying at the
outset.
Reasons
1. Magnitude of the expence)
2. Do of the vessels
3. Uncertainty whether
customers would be
so desirous of having
it when not in season
naturally.
N.B. It is by the prohibition
that grows is
rendered unattainable,
not to the being not in
season.
51
Birds of passage such
as woodcocks &c might
thus be had at times
when otherwise it would)
not be possible.
52
Broccoli
Not a representative
of peas, stalks of broccoli
would serve better
than cabbage: -
Reason.
1. More easily cut into
regular pieces of a nearly
equal size
2. Cabbage leaves if not
chopped very small would
be apt to have some
of the cuttings in
long threads, which
in case of the water
experiment might project
above the water, &
contract mouldiness.
Milk
53
Milk, as a conservandum
is of no direct
use as a commercial view.
The use of it insists
in its being an article
at least as much exposed
to change sub
dio as any other:
at the same time that
by who serving very
conveniently to shew
what changes, if any
are produced in frigidarii
at the end of any
number at pheasant
of different lengths of
time, it may serve
in the instance of any
other article, to afford
infirmness from the
observed state of it at
any shorter length of
time, to the probable
state of it at any
greater length of time
54
Cabin Meats.
Per Mrs Stoker, Beef
keeps longer than Mutton
Mutton longer than Veal.
Thence veal is best
for the experiment: and
though ceteris paribus
a smaller mass of
meat will (it is supposed)
keep longer than
a larger one, yet taking
the degree of natural
conservability
into account, as well
as cheapness in the articles
of meat in vessels
calves hearts seem
preferable to bullocks do
—
52
If chopped very small,
they would be reduced
to a kind of pulp,
not at all resembling
pease.
