(3) on charcoal. Fuses and incrusts the charcoal with antimonious acid, leaving Ag with some antimony. If the flame be continued, a red incrustation is formed and finally a bead of pure silver remains surrounded by a small slag.
(5) in borax. The residual slag obtained on the charcoal gives an iron and copper reaction.
(7) with carb. soda. The silver is reduced and the antimony passes off in dense fumes. The fused alkali gives the sulphur reaction on silver.
Behavior (1) in glass-bulb. Sometimes decrepitates, fuses readily, and, when strongly heated, gives a red sublimate of SbS^{ 3}.
(3) on charcoal. Fuses with much spirting and covers the charcoal with antimonial fumes. When the residual AgS is heated for some time in the oxidizing flame, a bead of pure silver is obtained.
(1) in glass-bulb. Fuses and at a low red heat affords a small sublimate of AsS^{ 3}.
(2) in open tube. Gradually heated it gives off AsO^{ 3} and SO^{ 2}. Sometimes also antimony fumes.
(3) on charcoal. As the preceding, except that a large quantity of AsO^{ 3} and but little SbO^{ 3} are given off.
(7) with carb. soda. As stephanite, except that much arsenic is given off and but little antimony.
(1) in glass-bulb. Fuses, but undergoes no further change.
(3) on charcoal. Fuses readily in the oxidizing flame. In the reducing flame is slowly reduced yielding metallic silver.
(7) with carb. soda. Is rapidly reduced to metallic silver.
(8) Special reactions. If cut up into small pieces mixed with oxide of copper and then heated before the oxidizing flame upon charcoal, it colors the flame blue.

This book had many columnar tables, often split across pages. These have been transformed in data sheets for readability.
The notation ^{ #} is used for superscripted numbers, indicating the composition of the various chemical compounds.
Some of the element symbols were differenced by markings that were not defined in the book, but are supposed to be valence markings. These have been transcribed as follows:
'.' or ',' above element symbol [?.Symbol] or [?,Symbol] '-' above element symbol [=Symbol] '-' through element symbol [Symbol=] ... So [...Al] where the original text had Al _ [=M] where the original text had M ,,, [,,,Sb] where the original text had Sb ... [...Fe=] where the original text had Fe, line through the Fe.
