Henry Cavendish Quote
A small bubble of air remained unabsorbed...if there is any part of the phlogisticated air [nitrogen] of our atmosphere which differs from the rest, and cannot be reduced to nitrous acid, we may safely conclude that it is not more than 1/120 part of the whole.
'Experiments on Air', read 2 June 1785, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 1785
