J.B. Priestley Quotes

On The 1st Of August, 1774, I Endeavoured To Extract Air From Mercurius Calcinates Per Se [mercury Oxide]; And I Presently Found That, By Means Of This Lens, Air Was Expelled From It Very Readily. ... I Admitted Water To It [the Extracted Air], And Found That It Was Not Imbibed By It. But What Surprized Me More Than I Can Well Express, Was, That A Candle Burned In This Air With A Remarkably Vigorous Flame ... I Was Utterly At A Loss How To Account For It.
