Salts
The
first edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica described alum
as "a peculiar kind of salt, sometimes found pure, but oftener
separated from several substances...in England, from a whitish or bluish
stone, called Irish Slate."
(EB - v.1, 129)
Salts
for kitchen or table were described depending on its source. Sea salt
was retrieved from the ocean.
