Abstract
SULPHURIC acid plays a part, directly or indirectly, in every manufacturing industry of civilized countries. It has been said, indeed, that one could gauge the civilization of a country by the amount of oil of vitriol it consumes. It is satisfactory, therefore, to know that Great Britain produces annually nearly a million tons of this civilizing agent, or an amount but slightly less than that made by all the rest of the world.
