Excerpt from The Composition of the Atmosphere With Special Reference to Its Oxygen Content
Before you receive this letter I Shall have sent you my eudiometer, together with a short memoir, explaining the use of the machine, in order to ascertain with exactness the wholesomeness Of the air in any particular place. It is the same instrument that I made use of in my tour through Italy, in the course of which I have had the satisfaction of convincing myself that the air of all those places which, from the long experience Of the inhabitants, has been reputed unwholesome., is found to be so, to a very great degree Of exactness, by this instrument of mine, so that the theory seems to correspond very well to observation. In the mountains near Pisa I made trial Of the air at different heights, beginning on the plain, and proceeding to the highest summits; and found a remarkable difference in the state Of the air, every stratum being purer in proportion as I ascended.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical account of the development of methods for determining oxygen content in the atmosphere. Beginning with early investigations by Scheele and Priestley, the author traces the evolution of various techniques, including the nitric oxide eudiometer, the hydrogen eudiometer, and the use of alkaline sulphides and phosphorus. The author discusses the contributions of prominent scientists such as Lavoisier, Cavendish, and von Humboldt, and examines the controversies and debates surrounding the accuracy of different methods. Of particular interest is the discussion of the factors that were believed to influence the oxygen content of the air, such as geographical location, weather conditions, and the presence of vegetation. The author also explores the implications of these findings for understanding the role of oxygen in atmospheric processes and the potential impact of human activities on the composition of the atmosphere. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive historical perspective on the development of our understanding of atmospheric oxygen, highlighting the ingenuity and perseverance of scientists in unraveling the complexities of the natural world.
