ABEL, F. "A Lecture, by F.A. Abel, Esq., F.R.S., on Some of the Causes, Effects, and Military Applications of Explosions." In "The Chemical News and Journal of Physical Science with which is Incorporated the "Chemical Gazette," a Journal of Practical Chemistry.," London, volume 5, #128, 17 May 1862, pp 270-276 in the issue of pp 267-280. Cleanly removed from a larger bound volume. Good, fresh copy. [++] "Sir Frederick Augustus Abel, 1st Baronet (1827 –1902) was an English chemist who was recognised as the leading British authority on explosives. He is best known for the invention of cordite as a replacement for gunpowder in firearms.One of the most important of his investigations had to do with the manufacture of guncotton, and he developed a process, consisting essentially of reducing the nitrated cotton to fine pulp, which enabled it to be safely manufactured and at the same time yielded the product in a form that increased its usefulness."--Wikipedia.
