" ... liquefaction of carbon dioxide or separation into two distinct forms of matter can be effected, even under a pressure of 300 or 400 atmospheres. Similar results are obtained with nitrous oxide. It appears indeed that there exists for every liquid... "

...matter, could be effected, even when the pressure of 400 atmospheres was applied. It would thus seem that there exists for every liquid a temperature at which no amount of pressure is capable of retaining it in the liquid form. It is not surprising, therefore, that mere pressure, however...

...reappeared. From these experiments it would appear that there is a point in the temperature of every liquid at which no amount of pressure is sufficient to retain it in the liquid form. Having thus seen the potency of water under pressure as the motive agent, and having the assurance...

...the strongest vessels will give way. Thus it has been ascertained, from these and other experiments, that there exists for every liquid a temperature at which no amount of pressure will retain it in the liquid state, but it will inevitably assume the form of a gas. This being true,...

...one Andrews initially shrank from trying to formulate. He was willing to make only the generalization "that there exists for every liquid a temperature...pressure is sufficient to retain it in the liquid form." Later, becoming more daring, he articulated an idea that boggled other minds along with his own: gases...
