Grew, Musaeum Regalis (1685)

A parcel of SALT taken from Tenariffe, 1674. and given by Dr. George Trumbal. 'Tis very white, and light like flowers of Sal Ammoniac, or the Earth call'd Agaricum Minerale. Taken by some to be a kind of Nitre. But not rightly. For it hath the perfect Tast of a Lixivial Salt. Makes an Effervescence with Aqua Fortis, as those Salts will, but Nitre will not do. Hath, as those, a fixed Body: neither will it flow, or flame, though exposed naked to the same fire, wherein Nitre will do both. Yet hath it somewhat of a nitrous Tast intermixed; as have also many Lixivial Salts. I conclude it therefore to be a fixed Alkaly, or, in nature, a kind of Lixivial Salt.
