A Dictionary of Chemistry (8 ed.)
... combination The combination of elements to give compounds. There are three laws of chemical combination. (1) The law of constant composition states that the proportions of the elements in a compound are always the same, no matter how the compound is made. It is also called the law of constant proportions or definite proportions . (2) The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements A and B combine to form more than one compound, then the masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A are in simple ratio to one another. For example,...

...Wedgwood on porcelain supports for his paintings, produced prints of a fine-grained texture based on the free use of stipple and engraving tools. William Blake, though trained as a line-engraver, was perhaps the most far-reaching innovator of all.

Before the moistened clay had fully hardened, the symbols were inscribed on it with the sharpened point of a reed, resulting in wedge shapes; each wedge or combination of wedges represented a symbol or syllable. The tablets were then fired, like pottery, becoming essentially indestructible. The great majority of texts recovered that use this wedge-shaped, or cuneiform, writing are on clay tablets, but it was adapted for other media, such as...
