Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of the Chemical Society of London, 1859, Vol. 11 Latterly, while working in Mr. Warren De la Rue' s laboratory, a larger quantity Of this crude carbolate Of lime was left for many months in a warm drying closet, and this circumstance having escaped my notice for some time, in. Consequence of other more pressing matters occupying my attention, I was astonished on again examining this carbolate Of lime, to find the whole mass converted into a red substance, which, on treatment with water, gave a beautiful dark red solution; and not a trace of carbolic acid (phenyl-alcohol) could be extracted, either from the aqueous red solution or from the insoluble brown residue, the latter containing only carbonate of lime, a small quantity of caustic lime, and a dark brown resinous substance.
