Sublime Lead: A Biography of a 5000 Year Toxic Love Affair

Raymond Lully, 1235 A.D.

Take two to three pounds of the juice of the Lunaria, add a solution of lead, alum, salpetre, sal ammoniac, silver-litharge, quick-silver sublimate, vinegar and ginger, then distil and calcinate. This powder is then thickened with a silver solution into paste. One part in a hundred of this paste, heated on a copper plate, could theoretically turn tin, lead, or quicksilver into silver at a ratio of one to a hundred parts.

Mitchell, 1848 A.D.: An Early Analytical Text

“[The suspected material] is to be acted on with dilute nitric acid, and the resulting liquid filtered. If the addition of dilute sulphuric acid to the filtered liquid produce a white, if chromate of potash a yellow, and , lastly, if sulphuretted hydrogen a black precipitate, the presence of lead is fully determined.”
