...Cavendish himself, p. 127, expressly states Mr. Warltire to have observed it, and cites Dr. Priestley's 5th volume. Mr. Cavendish himself could find no loss of...the dew, and found it to be pure water. He therefore coneludes, that " almost all the inflani" mable air, and about one-sixth of the common air, are turned... | |

...he unhesitatingly concludes that ' almost all the inflammable air, and about one-fifth of the common air, lose their elasticity and are condensed into the dew which lines the glass.' His full conclusion was ' that this dew is plain water, and consequently that almost all the inflammable... | |

...when this mixture is exploded, "almost all the inflammable air and about one-fifth part of the common air lose their elasticity, and are condensed into the dew which lines the glass."
