H. An Account of fome Experiments relating to 
the FrodnBion of Fire and Flame , together 
with an Explojion 5 wade by the mixture of 
two Liquors aBually cold. By Frederick 
Slare, M. D. Cenfor and Fellow of the Colledge 
of Phyficians : and of the Royal Society, 
IGave an Account of feveral Experiments made by 
the mixture of various Liquors, fome of them pro- 
duced much Heat, others a great Ebullition with a cold 
Effed, others fparks of Fire without Ebullition, and 
feme few that did produce an aftual Flame,* btit the 
difficulty to make the Phofphorus ( which was uftd in trlnfAltl 
the greateft of thefe flaming Experiments ) is fiich asoff^^cyear 
has made that fort of Experiment fcarce Credible by Momh^of 
fome, and Pradricable by few in fo much that I que- Anjii^.. 
ftion not but that it will be grateful to the Curious Fir- 
iuojo of this Age, to fee two clear Liquors both of them 
aftualiy cold, without any intermediate or third Body, 
rife up to a flame by kindling one another ; befides ha- 
ving made it eafie for them to make or procure the In« 
gredients which perform this, not common Effect, it 
may yet be more acceptable^ .
