«« There is ohe experiment which would, if fuccefsful, efta- 
blith the point. C. Clouet calculates, that, to conftitute grey 
rude iron, 1-6th of carbon is neceflary. Were fix parts ‘of 
iron, and a diamond, equal to 1-6th of this, fubjected to the 
fame procefs as formerly, and the refult grey, or carbonated 
erude iron, inftead of ficel, the inference would be juft, and 
the conclufign fatisfatory.. » 
“ Tn the prefent fiate of my information, I doubt whether 
the diamond afforded even one particle of carbon to the iron. 
From many experiments, wherein I ufed very pure well char- 
red wood and ‘malleable iron, I uniformly found that the 
weight of the fteelified ingot nearly equalled the fum of that 
of the iron and carbon originally introduced: fo that, in 
place of having a lofs of real iron equal to 4, as experienced 
by the Parifian chemitts, had the diamond been taken “up 
by the iron, the ingot of Atecl, would have weighed within 
seo part of the aggregate weight of both, and from ; to 
+> part more than the iron, at firft introduced. 
“¢ So far as I have gone, I think my experiments quite 
conclufive: the others you mention fhall be attended to in 
due time.” vt
