SUBLIMATES are chemical preparations, the basis of 

 which is quicksilver. In CORROSIVE SUBLIMATES, 'the 

 quicksilver is extinguished, either by vitriol, potter's clay, or 

 some other ingredient. 



SUBLIMATION is a similar process to distillation; only 

 solids (such as metals) are employed, instead of liquids. 



Thus the fine blue used by painters is a sublimate, and 

 made thus: Take 2 parts of quicksilver, 3 flower of 

 brimstone, 8 sal ammoniac; and (having ground them) 

 put them with the quicksilver into a glass retort, luted at 

 the bottom ; place the retort in a sand-heat; and (when the 

 moisture is given off) you will have a splendid blue 

 sublimate for painting.
