ARTICLE I. 



An explanatory Statement of the Notions or Principles upon 

 which the systematic Arrangement is founded, which was 

 adopted as the Basis of an Essay on Chemical Nomenclature. 

 By Professor J. Bprzelius. 



(Continued from p. 246.) 



IF we admit that 100 p. of antimony form the white oxide The proper- 

 with 27*8 p. of oxigen, and the sulphuret with rather more 1?°° and of'" 

 than 37 p. of sulphur, this result corresponds very well with sulphur in an- 



these data, and proves that the white oxide contains ]| times tlm * c , om ~ ^ 



r 2 pounds are the 



as much oxigen as the fusible oxide, and that the sulphur in same as with 



the sulphuret is to the oxigen in the fusible oxide in the same olaeT metals * 

 proportion as we have found with the other metals. For if, 

 in this case, the white oxide be composed of 7825 p. of metal, 

 and 21*75 of oxigen, this last, in the experiment I have men- 

 tioned, was replaced by 29 p. of sulphur — that is to say, 7*25 

 p. more than the weight of the oxigen 5 and these 7 25 p. 

 making precisely one-third more than the weight of the oxigen,, 

 and the antimony is to the sulphur, in this experiment, as 

 100 : 3707. 



If any one among the experiments had produced a very de- 

 cided result, we might easily have calculated the others from it;
