No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

PETRO'LEUM, n. [Gr. a stone, and oil; quasi petrolaion.]
Rock oil, a liquid inflammable substance or bitumen exuding from the earth and collected on the surface of the water in wells, in various parts of the world, or oozing from cavities in rocks. This is essentially composed of carbon and hydrogen.
Rock oil, mineral oil, or
natural oil, a dark brown or greenish inflammable liquid, which, at
certain points, exists in the upper strata of the earth, from whence
it is pumped, or forced by pressure of the gas attending it. It
consists of a complex mixture of various hydrocarbons, largely of the
methane series, but may vary much in appearance, composition, and
properties. It is refined by distillation, and the products include
kerosene, benzine, gasoline, paraffin, etc.
Petroleum spirit, a volatile liquid obtained in the distillation of crude petroleum at a temperature of 170° Fahr., or below. The term is rather loosely applied to a considerable range of products, including benzine and ligroin. The terms petroleum ether, and naphtha, are sometimes applied to the still more volatile products, including rhigolene, gasoline, cymogene, etc. | ||||||||
