The whole Secret laid Open Part 2

A vast number of other Fulminating objects might be prepared by the same means as here used, as it must have been observed, the Silver detonates either by friction or heat. But great attention must be paid to the quant.i.ty of Fulminating Silver used, as very unpleasant consequences might arise from the use of too large a quant.i.ty; and on the other hand, no effect produced by too small a quant.i.ty; but from one fourth to half a grain will most commonly be found quite sufficient for those purposes that require handling; and here again let me impress it on the mind, how necessary it is to pay attention to the quant.i.ties I have here specified for each object: and let me request that it may in no one instance be exceeded.
