The third stanza of the second ternary is commended, I think, beyond its merit.
Upon this inequality of import depends the irregularity of many ternary corollæ, e.
As regards the blossom the ovarium is most perfectly evolved, because it is developed out of the stalk; it is ternary and becomes elevated into a fruit with few seeds.

They therefore consist of three elements and are called ternary acids.
A salt of a ternary acid is named in accordance with the acid from which it is derived.
The change from a binary compound, that is, one containing two elements, to a ternary compound in which these two elements are associated with a third, sometimes affords a very good test for the theory.

For if the ratio between A and B is determined, this same ratio must obtain in allternary and more complicated compounds, containing the same elements.
In particular, if a compound AB combines with another substance (elementary or compound) C to form a ternary compound ABC, it enters this latter as a whole, leaving behind no residue of A or B.
But by applying the general law to the ternary compound ABC the same conclusion may be drawn as to the ratio A : C in all compounds containing A and C, or B : C in the corresponding compounds.
