Excerpt from A Primer of Explosives: For the Use of Local Inspectors and Dealers
This book, as will be seen from the title, is not intended to rank as a scientific treatise, but to give information which will assist an inspector in carrying out his duties with judgment, and a trader in applying precautions suitable to the particular explosives with which he is concerned. The expert may find nothing which is new to him in this work, but those who administer the law, and those whose business involves the handling and keeping of explosives, will probably find much in this little book which it is of advantage to them to know.
