Excerpt from Fire and Explosion Risks: A Handbook Dealing With the Detection, Investigation, and Prevention of Dangers Arising From Fires and Explosions of Chemico-Technical Substances and Establishments; For the Use of Fire Insurance Officials, Fire Brigade Officers, Members of the Legal Prof
The work is not designed to form an introduction to the vari able practices of Fire Insurance Companies, or a mere repetition of Trade Union regulations for the prevention of accidents; neither is it the author's intention to deal 'with all the separate branches of technology, since such a course would lead him too far away from the object in view, namely: To present non-chemists with a practical chemical tool, and to facilitate investigation of the, to them, foreign domain of chemical technology in questions of fire risk and fire prevention.
With this idea in view I have decided to make use, in many instances, of older chemical conceptions, because I regard the same as more suitable to, and readily understandable by, non-chemists, and am of Opinion that, for detecting, judging, and correctly settling cases of fire or combustion, it is more important that the non-chemist should treat and decide the matter in accordance with a standpoint he understands, rather than proceed according to new theories which he is incapable of assimilating, and which are, moreover, still subjects of scientific controversy.

Excerpt from Fire and Explosion Risks: A Handbook Dealing With the Detection, Investigation, and Prevention of Dangers Arising From Fires and Explosions of Chemico-Technical Substances and Establishments; For the Use of Fire Insurance Officials, Fire Brigade Officers, Members of the Legal Prof
Of late years great strides have been made in chemistry in connection with Fire Assurance, the prevention and extinction of fires, and the detection of the causes of accidental or premeditated outbreaks; in fact, chemistry has become an indispensable aid in the solution of these important problems.
Keeping pace with the development of our civilisation, we may expect that, in the future, the assistance of chemistry will be more and more relied on in the regulation of insurances, the promulgation of legal enactments against fire risk, the detection of incendiarism, and in cases of dispute before the courts. In such eventualities two ways are open, viz.: -
1. Calling in the aid of a chemist, a proceeding not always feasible, oftentimes expensive, and sometimes unsatisfactory, owing to the available chemist being imperfectly versed in the matter of fire prevention.
2. Consulting the literature. This resource also is not always available to the officials interested; and even when it is, the information respecting fire prevention is scattered over such a wide area, as to necessitate special study in order to separate the desired particulars from the enormous bulk of the literature itself. In fact, apart from a few special treatises, such as Professor Hapke's interesting work on "Spontaneous Ignition," Dr. M. Richter's book on "Benzine Fires," and Meunier's old work, there is at the present time no single book dealing so fully with fire risks and fire prevention, in the domain of chemical technology, as to be suitable for all cases, and for the laity.
