Ifgi/lation for itfelf, and maintaining that it was to be 

 ■ goTcrned, like the primitive church, only by prefbyters and 

 fynods, i. t. by affemblies of elders, compofed both of the 

 clergy and laity, and leaving to the civil magiftrate little 

 eife than the privilege of protefting and defending the 

 church, and providing for what related to its external 

 exigencies and concerns. Thefe and other circumftances 

 prevented the union of the Lutheran and reformed churches ; 

 though in procefs of time almoft all the latter churches 

 adopted the theological fyftem of Calvin. Mo(h. Eccl.

ZUMIC Acid, in Chemijlry, a name given by Dr. Thom- 

 fon to a peculiar acid principle lately obtained by M. Bra- 

 connot from rice, and which that gentleman had abfurdly 

 called Nanceic acid, from Nancy, the name of the city where 

 he refided. 



This acid was obtained by fermenting rice in water by 

 the application of a gentle heat. An acid liquor was ob- 

 tained, which on evaporation to drynefs left a gummy mafs, 

 having a very four tafte. This was digefted in alcohol, 

 which on evaporation let fall cryftals compofed of the 

 peculiar acid and lime. The lime was thrown down by 

 barytes, and the barytes afterwards feparated by fulphuric 

 acid, and thus the acid obtained in a feparate ftate. 



Zumic acid is colourlefs, has a very acid tafte, and does 

 not cryftallize. It precipitates none of the metals from 

 their folutions, except zinc from very concentrated folutions 

 of its falts. 



With potafh and fodait forms incryftallizable deliquefcent 

 falts, foluble in alcohol. With ammonia it forms a cryftal- 

 lizable fait. 



The neutral zumate of lime cryftallizes confufedly in a 

 form fomewhat refembling a cauliflower. It is opaque, very 

 white, has little tafte, and has the appearance of having 

 elBorefced. 



We do not think it neceflary to detail the properties of 

 the other compounds of this acid, which have been but little 

 examined, and appear to be totally devoid of intereft. 



Dr. Thomfon thinks the zumic acid is the fame with the 

 laftic acid, the latter being probably difguifed as ufuaUy 

 obtained, by the prefence of fome animal matter.
