tained which is mentioned by Agricola, under the Wallerius affirms, that mirrors, prifms, &c. may name of Salt of Amber; but its nature was long be made of amber. unknown. that it was an acid. It is obtained by the following process: Fill a retort half way with powdered amber, and cover the powder with dry fand, lute on a receiver and diftil in a fand bath, without employing too much heat." The refults are mentioned under CHEMISTRY, § 1167, 1168. Dr Thomfon adds, "It may be made tolerabiy pure by diffolving it in hot water, and putting upon the filtre a little cotton moiftened with cil of amber: this fubftance retains most of the oil, and allows the folution to pafs clear. This acid is then to be crystallized by a gentle evaporation; to be repeated till the acid be fufficiently pure. Guyton Morveau has difcovered, that it may be made quite pure by diftilling off it a fufficient quantity of nitric acid, taking care not to employ a heat strong enough to fublime the Succinic Acid. The crystals are tranfparent, white, fhining, and of a foliated triangular, prifmatic form they have an acid tafte but are not corrofive; they redden tincture of turnfole, but have little effect on that of violets. They fublime when expofed to a confiderable heat, but not at the heat of a water bath. In a fand bath, they melt, and then fublime and condenfe in the upper part of the veffel; but the coal which remains thews that they are partly decomposed. One part of this acid diffolves in 99 parts of water at the temperature of 50° according to Spieiman in 24 parts at 52°; and in 2 parts of water at 212°, according to Stockar de Neuforn; but the greatest part cryftallizes as the water cools. According to Roux, however, it ftill retains more of the acid, than cold water is capable of diffolv ing; 240 grains of boiling alcohol diffolve 177 of this acid; but cryftais again fhoot, as the folution cools. The compounds which it forms with acids, alkalies and metallic oxids are named fuccinats. (See SUCCINAT, § 1-8.) When the SUCCINAT OF SODA (N° 8.) is distilled in a retort, the fuccinic acid is completely decompofed. There palles over into the receiver an acid liquor, which is the acetous much diluted, and a quantity of brown oil. At the fame time carbonic acid gas, and carbonated hydrogen gas, are d fengaged, and there remains in the retort foda and charcoal. Hence it follows, that this acid is decompofed by heat, and is compofed of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Its affinities, Morveau fays, are, Barytes, Lime, Potafs, Seda, Ammonia, Magnefia, Alumina, metallic ‹ xides. Boyle was the firt who discovered SUCCINUM, AMBER, in mineralogy, a fpe cies of bitumen claffed under the inflammable fubitances. As a full account of this mineral was given under AMBER, nothing remains but to mention a few things which recent experiments enables us to add. According to Dr Kirwan, 100 grains of amber afford about 72 of petroleum, 45 of fuccinic acid, and a refidue of fixed matter and water. Mr Scheele fays, that when diftilled, it yields an aqueous acid refembling vinegar in its qualities. This would induce us to believe it to be of vegetable origin. But its origin is a point not yet afcertained. Its fpecific gravity is from 1065 to rico; and it melts at 550 of Tabrenheit. SUCCONDA. See SUKKONDA. (1.) * SUCCCRY. a. f. cichorium, Lat.] A plant.

SUCKLING, Sir John, an English poet and dramatic writer, was the fon of Sir John Suckling, comptroller of the household to King Charles I. and born at Witham in Effex, in 1613.

When he was grown up, be travelled; but feems to have affected nothing more than the character of a courtier and a fine gentleman; which he fo far attained, that he was allowed to have the peculiar happiness of making every thing he did become him. In his travels he made a campaign under the great Guftavus Adolphus: and his loyalty, if not his valour, appeared in the beginning of our civil wars; for, after his return to Engiand, he raised a troop of horfe for the king's fervice entirely at his own charge; and mounted them focompletely and richly that they are faid to have coft him 12,000l. But his troop, with Sir John at its head, behaved fo ill in the engagement with the Scots, upon the English borders, in 1639, as to occafion the famous lampoon compofed by Sir John Mennis; "Sir John he got him an ambling nag," &c. This ballad, which was fet to a brifk tune, was much fung by the parliamentarians, and continues to be fung to this day. This difaftrous expedition, and the ridicule that attended it, was fuppofed to have haftened his death; being feized by a fever, of which he died, at 28 years of age. He was a sprightly wit, and an eaty verfifier, but no great poet. His works, confifting of a fev poems, poems, letters, and plays, have nevertheless gone (2.)
