Table of Contents

In the preparation of the Second Edition of this work, I have chiefly made use of the current technical journals, especially of the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry. The source of my information has in every case been acknowledged.

I am also indebted to several manufacturers of explosives for information

respecting their special products—among others the New Explosives Company

Ltd.; Messrs Curtis's and Harvey Ltd.; The Schultze Gunpowder Company

Ltd.; and Mr. W.D. Borland, F.I.C., of the E.C. Powder Company Ltd.

To my friend Mr. A. Stanley Fox, F.C.S., of Faversham, my best thanks are also due for his help in many departments, and his kindness in pointing out several references.

The chapter on Smokeless Powders has been considerably enlarged and (as far as possible) brought up to date; but it has not always been possible to give the process of manufacture or even the composition, as these details have not, in several cases, been made public.
