Abstract
DR. STEVENSON has published a series of Tables in which the specific gravity of alcohol from 100 to 0.05 per cent, is given for each difference of 0.05 per cent. The percentages of alcohol by weight and volume, and of proof spirit are contained in the Tables. The specific gravities are given to four places of decimals. The Tables are founded on those of Gilpin and Drinkwater, and for spirits of less specific gravity than 0.8250—i.e. containing more than 89.05 per cent, by weight of alcohol —on that of Fownes.
