Chapter 10, 11

Ch.10:Fortunes from Phosphorus- Since the beginning of the phosphorus discovery, there have always been people ready to supply the need.
We met Godfrey in Chapter 2, who was Robert Boyle's assistant in the lab. When Boyle showed disinterest in the selling, Godfrey made his own and sold it, for almost 50 years he had his very own phosphorus monopoly.


Ch. 11: Unlucky Days: As dangerous as we know phosphorous to be, the flammability and toxicity seemed to be the most dangerous of days and brought on the most horrific accidents. That's where chapter 11 begins and ends with telling is more about the unfortunate souls killed and affected by these characteristics.
