Extract

The present paper was undertaken at the suggestion of the late Professor George Wilson, as forming an interesting inquiry, both to the antiquarian and the chemist, and as a sequel to the paper upon old Scotch glass, communicated by me to this Society some time since.

The investigation had for its object,—

1st, To ascertain the exact composition of the glassy surfaces of the various specimens.

2d, The composition of the rocks upon which the glass was formed.

3d, To account for the formation of such glass by the information afforded by the first two inquiries.
