By the late eighteenth century, scientists had discovered certain types of gas, such as 'fixed air' (carbon dioxide), but their composition was little understood. This three-volume collection presents groundbreaking investigations into gases. Volume 2 (second edition, 1776) includes data on what Priestley's calls 'dephlogisticated air' (oxygen).
