Examples

“We must not here omit a water in Germany, which is ordinarily supposed to change iron into copper. The truth is, there is no real conversion of the metal; that that is done is, that the cuprine and vitriolic particles in the water corrode the iron; and, detaching parts of them by means of the motion of the water, coppery particles succeed in their room.”
