Abstract
IN Black's “Lectures on the Elements of Chemistry,” published in 1803, there occurs the footnote in reference to marsh gas (spoken of by Black as ‘inflammable air’): “The Dictamnus Fraxinella emits it from its flowers in such abundance in a calm evening, that it may be set on fire by a candle, nay, take fire of itself.”
