Appendix to a memoir, lately read to the Society, on the quality and quantity of the gases disengaged from the hot spring of the King’s Bath, in the city of Bath
The author has lately examined two tepid springs, which, since the setting in of the wet weather, have broken out at the foot of St. Vincent’s rocks, Clifton, immediately below the Cliff, against which the suspension bridge over the Avon is designed to abut.

| Summary: | The author has lately examined two tepid springs, which, since the setting in of the wet weather, have broken out at the foot of St. Vincent’s rocks, Clifton, immediately below the Cliff, against which the suspension bridge over the Avon is designed to abut. The temperatures of the springs were 72° and 66° respectively; and the gas consisted of 92 parts of nitrogen, eight of oxygen, and three of carbonic acid. The author deduces from these facts arguments in confirmation of the views he has stated in the paper to which this is an appendix. Mr. Faraday’s Sixth Series of Experimental Researches in Electricity were resumed and concluded; and the reading of the Seventh Series commenced. |
