TitleUnpublished paper, 'On a new method of determining the vapour pressures of solutions' by E B H [Edward Bruce Herschel] Wade
CreatorWade; Edward Bruce Herschel (1872-1945); British natural scientist
Date1897
DescriptionWade writes: 'On a previous occasion I gave some boiling points of salt solutions under atmospheric pressure. As the dimensions of that abstract made a full account of the experimental method impossible, I have been given this opportunity, by the courtesy of the Council of the Royal Society, of describing the apparatus and procedure by which those results were obtained.' He shares details of errors in his original methods, the standardisation of apparatus, the new method employed and the results of the new experiments.

Annotations in pencil and ink throughout.
