First appearance of this famous paper in which Faraday describes his procedure to obtain liquefaction of chlorine and some of its properties.

Faraday made an analysis of chlorine hydrate..., finding the composition... He showed the results to Davy, who suggested that he should heat this compound in a sealed tube. The result was the liquefaction of chlorine, reported in a note at the end of the paper"(Partington IV:p. 105).
