• In the words of Dalton, oxygen may combine with a certain portion of nitrous gas [as he called nitric oxide], or with twice that po rtion, but with no intermediate portion. Walter Libby. An Introduction to the History of Science.
• Obviously, at each step the percentage of felspar and phosphorus is less and less until in the final concentrates the percentage of iron oxide is 91 to 93 per cent. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• In the previous century Mayow had obtained nitric oxide by treating iron with nitric ac id. Walter Libby. An Introduction to the History of Science.
• The ruby owes its fine red color to the presence of oxide of chromium; the sapphire its deep blue to either a lower oxide of chromium or to an oxide of titanium. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Nitrous oxide gas is chiefly used for the extraction of teeth. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.

• These active elements are not put in the plates AS METALS; but one, nickel, in the form of a hydrate, and the other, iron, as an oxide. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Ether as a chemical product has been known for several centuries, and as early as 1818 Faraday pointed out the similarity between the effects of ether and nitrous oxide gas. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The method of purifying by lime was introduced by Mr. Clegg; and by a later process, oxide of iron is used to absorb the sulphuretted hydrogen. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
