Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, Vol. 5: January December, 1888

There is no question here of the formation of definite compounds of nitre and water, but in the words of Dr. Guthrie fused nitre and fused ice are miscible in all proportions, the result of the increase of water being a proportional lowering of the fusion-points. The phenomenon of fusion is shown by Guthrie to be nothing more than an extreme case of liquefaction by solution. Indeed, it is impossible to define where solution ends and fusion begins; when, for example, one part of water is present in 555 parts of a salt, it would be hard to consider the latter' as dissolved in the former.
