Abstract
THIS small work is of an entirely different character to the usual text-books on explosives, the author confining himself mainly to a theoretical consideration of his subject. To all interested in the manufacture or use of modern explosives the book should be of interest, throwing as it does much light on the theory of nitro-cellulose and mixtures containing this body, such as cordite or powders containing metallic nitrates with nitro-cellulose.
