It was before fhewn, that the freezing points, found by the 
firft method, ought to be below thofe of the whole niafs, and 
muO:, in all probability, be above thofe of the decanted liquor. 
In order to fee how this agrees with obfervation, I computed 
in the above-mentioned manner the freezing points anfwering 
to the ftrength of the whole mafs, and compared them with 
the obferved freezing points. The refult is given in the fol- 
lowing table.
