Zinc and Papal Ages and a Paris Viscount Tale
An 19th century survey covers zinc’s rise as metal and galvanizing uses and its medical forms with brass and tombac. It reviews popes’ nationalities and ages, noting Pius IX as 252nd pope and lists saints, ages, and tenures. A vivid tale follows of a Paris viscount’s sad decline, his streetwise survival, and final religious moment before death.
