(the two elements always occur together, and were not recognized
as separate until much later in the 19th century)
phosphat of lime = calcium diphosphate _or_ calcium
(the element calcium was isolated in 1808, but is named only once
in this 1817 edition)
glucium = beryllium (Humphry Davy's name for the element)

muriatic acid = hydrochloric acid
(still called "muriatic acid" for some commercial uses)
muriat of lime = calcium chloride
oxymuriate of potash = potassium chlorate
muriat of soda = sodium chloride (table salt)
carbonic acid = carbon dioxide

Note also:

simple body, fundamental principle = element
fecula = starch (usually spelled "faecula")
spirit of wine = alcohol
philosopher = scientist
arts = industry, manufacture, crafts etc. (seldom "fine arts")
