^ The dry volatile fait of amber, which difcovers itfelf to 
poffefs the qualities of an acid, is, according to Mr. Bourde- 
lin’s experiments, communicated to the Frenth Academy,* 
compounded of the acid of common fait, and a phlogifton* 
both which fubftances are faid likewife to make out the con- 
Ritueht? parts of the yellow amber itfelf, though in different 
proportion than in the fait: for this reafon, and until this 
opinion is refuted by other experiments, the fait of amber 
cannot be conlidered as a mineral fait, that is different from, 
the others, and confequently exigent by itfelf; nor can the vi- 
tiiolic acid be faid to coagulate the yellow amber.
