While in the neighbourhood of Lebanon in thestate of New-York, I embraced that opportunity ofexamining the Thermal Spring which is situated thereand is much frequented by invalids. I have thereforeadded as an appendix, the chemical analysis of thiswater, which I hope will not be found uninteresting,as affording a very remarkable contrast to any of thewaters either of Ballston or Saratoga, having scarcelyany one quality in common with them; and exhibit-ing, at the same time, some curious and interestingchemical facts; to which I have also added a fewpractical observations on the virtue of this water,both externally and internally. Preface. xv The result of this experimental enquiry I nowsubmit to the public, conscious that I have engagedin one of the most difficult investigations in chemis-try. If it should be found in any degree useful, orif it should lead others to pursue so interesting asubject, I shall consider the time and labour which Ihave bestowed on it, as not 58
