This publication serves as a comprehensive dictionary detailing various types of explosives, including their compositions, classifications, and historical context. The author, a chemical inspector in the Indian Ordnance Department, aims to provide updated information in light of the many new explosives that have emerged since the last edition was published. The opening of the text sets the stage by recognizing the passage of time since the last dictionary on explosives was produced, which was over a generation ago. The author emphasizes that this dictionary focuses on modern explosives with proprietary names, while also identifying the two main categories: propellants and high explosives. It introduces nitrocelluloses and coal-mine explosives, highlighting the rigorous testing and regulatory measures these substances undergo to ensure safety and efficacy. This thorough introduction serves as a foundation for the detailed entries that follow, which systematically categorize explosives used in various industries.
