- talc, historical talc.
Meaning
The historical material name is retained without assuming that its range exactly matches the modern mineral. The narrator calls it unconquerable and qualifies his claim about what can act on it with “so far as I know.” The example is meant to favour animal and vegetable powers within an argument against essential separation of the kingdoms. Its local importance is the qualified comparison, not a recoverable modern recipe or the certification of a particular substance.
