About this Item

First edition, 8vo (211 x 133 mm), [4], 48pp., stitched as issued, orig. blue paper wrappers, lower wrapper lightly stained. The author offers a practical guidance on fire management and fire extinction. Some of his ideas are simple and pretty mundane - wet cloths, wet straw, earth and so forth. Others are more controversial such as the use of gunpowder balls to blow the fire out by violent explosions.
