Incidently, I don't have information on any common commercial source for
sulfuric and nitric acids in small quantities. Anyone have this
information?

It was in a nineteenth century photographic dictionary. I remember thinking
at the time that it was confusing but no stranger than 'spirits of salt' as
a name for HCl. Of course I cannot find it now. Perhaps it just goes to
show that one should not believe everything one reads in books or
dictionaries ! Or that I should have left writing that until the morning.
If I do find the reference I will let you know.
Aldrich sell both sulphuric acid and nitric acid by the litre.
