Date | 5 March 1731 |
Description | A follow-up to Neumann's initial account of experiments on camphor resulting from distilling thyme essential oil, found at CLP/11ii/29. Neumann wrote this account after reading John Browne's differing opinion on the nature of the thyme camphor (see CLP/11ii/10). Neumann defends his original findings and points out grammatical errors in Browne's Latin publication.
