solid body with respect regard to a fluid one; as a
cork for instance, or other stopple with regard to the
water in a bottle. The portion of a fluid that
is made to answer the purpose I would therefore
call a Stopple. When the fluid made
use of is water, a Water Stopple.

Mercury Stopple

Some Mercury vapours however meantime , as Fixable Air, and
the Muriatic Acid were found to be act upon
the stoppel a water and be taken up by the stopple
when composed of water. Water therefore could
<not serve to confirm them in the state it was
meant to keep have them in. Mercury Quicksilver was then
thought of as a substitute. This, Sir, I presume,
was your inventio9n. When Mercury Quicksilver
is thus employ'd , I would therefore call it a
Quicksilver-Stopple; when Oil, an Oil -
Stopple, and so opn.

Stopple-cap

The fluid used as a stopple must have a
solid vessel to contain it: This Vessel is
either the general reservoir and of in and from which the
Receivers are filled, or a small one in which
the Air with it's stopple is et by apart from
the rest. I would call it a Stopple-Cap. [+] [+] if the term be not too uncouth in
the first case the general stopple-cap: in the second
a particular one.
