VI. On some combinations of platinum

Abstract

In my communication to Sir H. Davy, Bart, “On a new fulminating platinum, "which has been honoured with a place in the Transactions of the Royal Society,* I stated, that I had obtained some other new compounds of this metal: these have since occupied no inconsiderable portion of my leisure hours, and I now beg leave to lay the results of my inquiry before the Royal Society. A constant attention to other necessary duties, has not allowed me sufficient time to render this investigation so complete as I could have wished; but as I presume the facts are novel, I shall venture to bring them forward in a form, which, though imperfect, may not be wholly destitute of interest.
