1 it 5 as I have tried by digefting eve** 

 crude Copper in Filings with Oyl of 

 fvveet Almonds, which took up fo 

 much of the metal as to be deeply 

 coloured thereby $ as if it had been 

 a Corrofive Liquor: Nay, I (hall 

 adde, that even with Milk , as mild 

 a Liquor as 'tis ^ I have found by 

 Trials that without the help of fire 

 a kind of DifTolution may , though 

 not in few hours , be made of crude 

 Copper 3 as appeat'd by the green- 

 ifh blew colour the Filings acquired, 

 when they had been well drenched 

 in the Liquor , and left for a cer- 

 tain time in the Veflel y where the 

 air had very free accefs to them*
