"In the 18th century. Sulfuric acid, more commonly known historically as ?vitriol,? was first manufactured on an industrial scale in England in the 1740s, and people began using it for violent purposes in Western Europe and the United States once it became easily obtainable. (It was sold as a bleach and a cleaning agent.) By the 1830s, a Glasgow periodical editorialized, ?The crime of throwing vitriol has, we grieve to say, become so common in this part of the country, as to become almost a stain on the national character.?"
