The mass of lead precipitated beneath the steel in this ex- 
periment, amounted to 9 grains, or the weight of the wootz 
employed.

Lead obtained, precipitated from the glass by means of the 
carbon of the wootz 14J grains, equal to the weight of 
the wootz.

Flint glass ----- 207 
The lead revived in this experiment amounted to 7 grains, 
which is equal to furro we ight °f the wootz. 
6 th. Cast Steel formed with ^-th part its Weight of Carbon.

Crystal glass - - - - 270 
Lead revived 8£ grains equal to we ight of the steel 
introduced. 
7 th. White cast Iron dropt while Fluid into Water. 
Fragments - - - - 103 
Crystal glass - - - - 309 
The fusion of this precipitated 23^- grains of lead which is 
equal to t 4 - 2 c 8 q the weight of the cast iron.
