  • They are composed of _gelatine_ (which cooks serve up under the name of meat-jelly, but which would be more properly called bone-jelly), and of phosphate of lime, a kind of stone of which we have spoken before, if I remember rightly, and from which they get all their solidity.

    The History of a Mouthful of Bread And its effect on the organization of men and animals Jean Mac�� 1854
