ALCOHOL 



The mixture of alcohol and -water, taken as spirit in Mr. Gilpin's Tables, is that 

 of which the specific gravity is 0-825 at 60 F,, water being unity at the same 

 temperature. The specific gravity of -water at 60 being 1,000, at 62 it is 99,981. 

 Hence, in order to compare the specific gravities given by Mr. Gilpin Tyith those 

 which -would result -when the specific gravity of -water at 62 is taken at unity, all the 

 former numbers must be divided by 99,981.

 at different Temperatures ; constructed by Mr. Gilpin, for the use of the British 

 Revenue on Spirits.
