3 io ON A NATURAL SYSTEM 



Metallic double falts alfo. may be treated in 

 the fame manner ; as, 



Vitriolicum auratum, &c. 

 Nitrofum argentatum, &c. 

 Muriaticum plumbatum, &c. 

 Arfenicalc cobaltatum, Stc. 

 anil many others. 



No one can object to thofc adjcclives derived 

 from the names of the metals, as Pliny ufes the 

 word f erratum ; and it is according to this plan 

 that they are here applied, 



Analogical falls, containing an alkali, may be 

 cafily arranged in the fume manner. 

 Thus, 



T> rr { Annllatum, 



Potaffinum -H c r , c 



Silicatura, &c, 



Arentatum. 

 Ammonhcum 



i rgentatu 

 < Cupratum, 

 ( Zincatum, 



Double falts, in which cither principle pre- 

 vails can alfo be denominated in fuch a manner 

 us to exprtfs an imperfecl; faturation, } 127. 

 For example, '1'artar, with an cxcefs of acid, 

 can be defined by a combination of its generic 

 name with the genitive of its bale, as turtareum 

 p'.titflini ; but, when perfeclly faturatcd, may br 

 called tartartum pot ttjjimi turn. In like manner 

 we fliall have GXti/inum potti[]uii, but, when ex 

 aclly liituratt'd, it will be o\tiHnum potaj/inatum j 

 uitrwlicurn natri, and Vttrio/icum nutmtum; na- 

 tntm bur acini, and boracinum natratumj and fo 

 on of others. *
