Manufacture of Explosives

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Whilst this book was being written, a series of anarchist outrages in various parts of Europe led many Governments to seriously consider the necessity of Special legislation to prevent their recurrence. I therefore had also to consider whether the publication of a new book on explosives might not at the time be ill-advised; but the more I thought the matter over, the clearer it became to me that delay was quite unnecessary.
