Extract

One of the blast furnaces at the the Eglinton Iron Works, Kilwinning, having been blown out, it was noticed that on the hearth there was a curious deposit of a bluish black semi-metallic colour, which by its brittleness seemed to be a slag. Mr. Smith having forwarded to my friend Mr. John Young, F.G.S, a sample of the substance, it was submitted to me for analysis and examination. On a cursory examination it was seen that it was not homogeneous but consisted of different substances mixed, the most conspicuous being the bluish substance with a plumbago lustre before referred to. On powdering it the substance was round to contain pieces of metallic iron in irregular masses inbedded in the matrix.
