to tell: for peradventure means may be found of letting him
have it at a cheaper price than he pays now.
As to the scientifical name of fossil alkali some of the glass-makers
here know if by that name: but that I suppose is
hardly the case with soap boilers. Exclusive of that, there
are three names by which it is known in trade: Kelp,
Barilla, and Soda. It is called Kelp when it is in its
purest state, Barilla is purer, and Soda purer still:
but still this last wants much of that purity to which
it may be brought, and to which it is brought in the
state in which it is brought sold by the Chemists.
Therefore what I wish to know is
1. Which of all these if any he buys?
2. At what prices and whether by the
ton, hundred, or what other measure?
3. What is the best quantity he ever
buys, or would choose to buy?
4. Whether he does any thing to refine it
after he has got it, and or whether he
would wish to have it purer than it
is when it comes to him?
I should like to know likewise what the difference is between
what he pays for the vegetable alkali if he uses any,
and this.
