But in order to satisfy myself in the first place that this theoretic spe- culation would accord with the nature of the bodies present, I undertook a set of experiments on the reduction of an artificial mixture of sulphuret and oxide of antimony by means of hydro- gen gas. The apparatus which was employed in these processes was constructed on almost the same idea as that described by Prof. Berzelius in his experiments on nickel glanse, arsenical nickel, &c.; an outline of which is here given. 0fflm$imM$$.
