XX.—On the Volatile Bases produced by Destructive Distillation of Cinchonine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 January 2013
Extract
The history of the organic bases has now become as ardent an object of study among chemists as that of the as yet far more numerous group of acids; and it is generally admitted that the information obtained has been no less important and interesting. Of all organic alkaloids, those of opium and the cinchona barks doubtless occupy the first rank, whether we regard their value as remedial agents, or the remarkable facts which have been ascertained connected with their atomic relations, and the influence exerted by the latter, upon the theory of the science.
