78 In the strict chemical sense it may be said that Marsilli contributed little to the chemistry of sea water. Yet perhaps this is a bit too harsh. Marsilli applied the use of colorimetric indicators t o sea water and in so doing noted its basicity. He also pointed out the variances in the use of the balance in measuring the saltness of sea water samples as well as those differences as compared to the hydrometer. The Histoire Physique de la Mer is truly a remarkable book. As with most creative thinkers, Marsilli’s work is a complex mixture of the old and the new.
Wherefore, saltness of the sea, obtained by my own trials, where I was able; and where I was not, by the best relations I could procure, especially from navigators. First then, whereas the Peripateticks do, after their master Aristotle, derive the saltness of the sea from the adustion of the water by the sunbeams, it has not been found, that I know of, that where no salt, or saline body, has been dissolved in, or extracted by water exposed to the sun or other heat, there has been any such saltness produced in it, as to justify the Aristotelian opinion.
5 9 3 - 5 9 3 . ~ ’Boyle mentioned that: For having long since written a short discourse of the saltness of the sea, I had been industrious to devise ways of comparing water in point of brackishness: and by these I found the patentees water t o be more free from common salt, than waters, that are usually drank here in London. 594) From the accuracy as is given here the test had to be silver nitrate. By 1683 and later Boyle had a test for natural waters. Did he then see Taclienius’ writings in the meanwhile?
