Reseña del editor

The following course of lectures is intended to serve as a manual and guide in the practical laboratory-work in the course of explosives at the U. S. Artillery School. The aim has been to present the subject systematically and logically, due consideration being given to the sequence in which the various classes of explosives are arranged, so that a certain degree of familiarity may be acquired in manipulating the less sensitive and dangerous mixtures before undertaking experiments with the high explosives. Particular attention has been given to the service tests of the various explosives, in the description of which all technical terms have been avoided as far as possible. While the bulk of the matter here presented is the result of compilation, it is believed that a portion at least appears in print for the first time. In submitting these pages I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness for assistance and encouragement to Professor Munroe, and Lieutenant-C olonei R. T. Frank, 2d A rtillery, Commandant of the Artillery School. With the permission of Professor C. E. Munroe, Chemist to the U. S. Navy Torpedo Corps, I have borrowed largely from his course of Lectures on Chemistry and Explosives, delivered at the Torpedo Station, the arrangement of the subject-matter being slightly changed to meet the requirements of the Artillery School.
