| Title | Unpublished manuscript, 'On supersaturated saline solutions' by Charles Tomlinson |
| Date | 18 April 1868 |
| Description | Tomlinson provides a definition of supersaturation followed by a 'historical sketch' of research on the subject, noting that the phenomena of supersaturation have been studied chiefly with reference to solutions of Glauber's salt [sodium sulphate]. He goes on to discuss in detail the action of nuclei, the formulation of the modified salt. Note on front reads 'The paper published in Phil Trans is a revised condensation of this.' Followed by an appendix dated 13 August 1868.
