CERTAIN EXPERIMENTS OF THE LORD BACON'S, 



ABOUT THE COMMIXTURE OF LIQUORS ONLY, NOT SOL- 

 IDS, WITHOUT HEAT OR AGITATION, 



BUT ONLY BY SIMPLE COMPOSITION AND SETTLING. 1 



SPIRIT of wine mingled with common water, al- 

 though it be much lighter than oil, yet so as if the first 

 fall be broken by means of a sop or otherwise, it stay- 

 eth above ; and if it be once mingled, it severeth not 

 again, as oil doth. Tried with water coloured with 

 saffron. 



Spirit of wine mingled with common water hath a 

 kind of clouding, and motion shewing no ready com- 

 mixture. Tried with saffron. 



A dram of gold dissolved in aqua regis, with a dram 

 of copper in aquaforti, commixed, gave a green colour, 

 but no visible motion in the parts. Note, that the dis- 

 solution of the gold was twelve parts water to one part 

 body : and of the copper was six parts water to one 

 part body.
