 1 I  |            of my hand, but by some action in this shell-lac. The shell-lac,
 2 II |            them within a sphere of action which will cause them to
 3 II |      structure, tells us about the action of these other bodies which
 4 II |          glass which before had no action upon the light. You shall
 5 III|        that are afforded us by the action of heat, and among these
 6 III|           or the force of chemical action between different bodies;
 7 IV |        vitriol, and immediately an action takes place, which produces
 8 IV |          you see the result of the action of chemical affinity overcoming
 9 IV |         they are sluggish in their action - not quick as the others
10 IV |            of rapidity in chemical action. Now, if I mix them together,
11 IV | scintillations.]~Now this chemical action is set going exactly as
12 IV |         which is able to start the action. Can any thing be more beautiful
13 IV |          about it, which stops the action of the oxygen - putting
14 IV |            Now suppose I limit the action in this way: this piece
15 IV |        that without which chemical action could not proceed. Now I
16 IV |           goes away as soon as the action stops, and you see, thereby,
17 IV |           that it depends upon the action during the time it is going
18 IV |          which disappears when the action of falling is over; the
19 IV |           removed; whereas, in the action of chemical affinity to
20 IV |            go away immediately the action is over. This lamp seems
21 IV |            its power of setting in action, and very often overcoming,
22 V  |         move round, I can try what action this piece of iron has on
23 VI |       results which are due to the action of some other force. Thus
24 VI |      disunite them by means of its action on the chemical force; and
25 VI |         say that there is chemical action taking place. You see all
26 VI |          table. This, then, is the action of chemical affinity exerted
27 VI |     hydrogen set free, so that the action is suspended for the time.
28 VI |           then I reproduce all the action. I am now going to put to
29 VI |         there, it has scarcely any action; and here is a plate of
30 VI |      months, or even years, and no action would take place; but, by
31 VI |       silver, and it would have no action of its own on this solution,
32 VI |          the other metal, then the action would take place, and it
33 VI |       shall find it to be chemical action. Here is a colored liquid
34 VI |            the effects of chemical action; I will pour part of it
35 VI |           wires have a very strong action. I am not going to show
36 VI |            evident by its chemical action. There is also another curious
37 VI |           color is only due to the action on one side. I will pour
38 VI |            possesses this peculiar action. You see it is the one on
39 VI |           you can not perceive any action none has taken place.~Here
40 VI |       another instance of chemical action. I take these platinum plates
41 VI |            plates have no chemical action of any kind; they might
42 VI |            with them, the chemical action which is there transformed
43 VI |       wires again becomes chemical action at the two platinum poles,
44 VI |         way in which this chemical action or electricity may be carried
