  <dc:title>Unpublished paper, 'On destroying the fire damp in mines by the chloride of lime' by Frederick Fincham</dc:title>

He describes several experiments carried out to this effect. Minor corrections appear throughout in graphite. A graphite annotation at bottom of final page reads 'Archives'.
