Unpublished paper, 'On spontaneous evaporation' by Benjamin Guy Babington
Reference number: AP/42/3

Description
Babington aims to make known certain powers of attraction and repulsion which are possessed by soluble substances in relation to their solvent, and which, in the case of water, are measured by the amount of loss, on spontaneous evaporation, in the weight of solutions of different salts and other substances, as compared with the loss of weight in water.
Subject: Chemistry
Received 7 June 1859.
Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 10 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'On spontaneous evaporation'.
