TABLES — 5th ed. (1815)

TABLES, exhibiting a collective View of all the Frigorific Mixtures contained in Mr Walker's Publication, 1808.

TABLE I.—This Table consists of Frigorific Mixtures, having the power of generating or creating cold, without the aid of ice, sufficient for all useful and philosophical purposes, in any part of the world, at any season.

N. B. If the materials are mixed at a warmer temperature, than that expressed in the table, the effect will be proportionably greater; thus, if the most powerful of these mixtures be made, when the air is $+85^{\circ}$ , it will sink the thermometer to $+2^{\circ}$ .

TABLE II.

N. B. The reason for the omissions in the last column of this table, is, the thermometer finking in these mixtures to the degree mentioned in the preceding column, and never lower, whatever may be the temperature of the materials at mixing.
