Contains frequent references to Priestly and also to Lavoisier Cavendish Fontana."Duveen p. 305."In 1779 Jan Ingenhouz also reported new ways of making inflammable airs. He had learnt the first method from John Cuthberson and Hendrik Aeneae on a visit to Amsterdam in 1777.When he returned to London he tried to find simpler ways of generating the air so that it could be used as a substitute for inflammable air from metals in Volta's inflammable air pistol. He devised a way of volatising ether Diethyl ether for this purpose but he thought that these to airs were the same."Leslie Tomary. </em> unknown
