once produced as he says an uncondensable vapour by
distilling Air Alkali phlogesticated to make for Prussian
Blue. of an earthen retort that may
turn out to be acid or as will any thing else. His
attention was solely bent upon condemning it;
which he could not compass. To save it, was in its
what he never thought of state of vapour, did not, it seems, enter into his thoughts.

If then I say, any other Air should be found
and that is acid, the term acid as applied
to characterize this particular kind of air would
be improper. It must be alter'd. The term
Muriatic ( if sufficiently familiar) never could be improper, and it would
point to the original of the substance Air in question.
being an Air that is produced from that peculiar kind of Air
called Murite or Muriatic Acid, or to speak
more properly is that very Acid in its form
of vapour; the only form in which you can
obtain it pure. The term Marine Air would not
do so well, as it would seem to mean
nothing more than Sea Air, Common Air
taken from over the Sea.

[+] [+] Judge whether there is any thing in the objection: or if there is, whether it may be worth while to alter the term objected to in your next edition I need make you no apologies to Dr Priestley . It costs you him
no more to contract than to advance, when the
interest of Science are in question.
