[187] PAGE 109, LINE 11. Page 109, line 13. _halinitro._--Either native
carbonate of soda or native carbonate of potash might be meant, but not
saltpetre. Scaliger, in his _De Subtilitate ad Cardanum_ (Lutet., 1557, p.
164), _Exercitatio_ CIII., 15, under the title, _Nitrum non est Salpetrae_,
says: "More tuo te, tuaque confundis. Salpetrae inter salis fossilis ponis
hic. Mox Halinitrum inter salis, & nitri naturam, speciem obtinere."

"_Sal nitrum_ is salt which is boiled out of the earth, especially fat
earth, as in stables, or any place of excrements." (_A Chymicall Dictionary
explaining Hard Places and Words met withall in the Writings of Paracelsus
..._, Lond., 1650.)

_Antonius_ whiles hee was one of the three usurping Triumvirs, mixed yron
with the Romane silver denier. He tempered it also with the brasen coine,
and so sent abroad false and counterfeit money."

Georgius Agricola (_De Natura Fossilium_, p. 646) says:

"Sed ea fraus capitalis est, non aliter ac eorum qui adulterinas monetas
cudunt, argento miscentes multam plumbi candidi portionem, aut etiam ferri,
qualis fuit Antonii denarius, ut Plinius memoriae tradidit. Nunc dicam de
candido plumbo, nam majoris pretii est quam aes. In quod plumbum album,
inquit Plinius, addita aeris tertia portione candidi adulteratur stannum."
