For more information about the Archive, visit: http: //www.royalgunpowdermills.com/history-heritage/archives/ Description - from the Preface: The following short treatise is intended as a guide to officers who wish to make themselves acquainted with the manufacture and proof of gunpowder, as now carried on in the Royal Gunpowder Factory. With the exception of a pamphlet written in 1867 by the late Major J. Fraser Baddeley, then Captain-Instructor in the factory, and a brief series of notes compiled by Captain O. H. Goodenough from an unpublished pamphlet of Colonel Boxer's and other sources, for the use of the gentlemen cadets, there is no work which gives an account of the system of manufacture and proof now practised at Waltham Abbey. It must be admitted that there are many points connected with the manufacture and proof of gunpowder which are as yet imperfectly understood. But there is every reason to believe that the labours of the Committee on Explosives, who have at their command new and delicate means for proof and examination, will throw sufficient light on all matters of practical importance. The following pages have, however, been specially written with the view of showing not only what has been done, but what still remains to be done in each department of the manufacture and proof of gunpowder for Her Majesty's service. Royal Gunpowder Factory, 24th December 1870

For more information about the Archive, visit: http: //www.royalgunpowdermills.com/history-heritage/archives/ Description - from the Preface: Having been requested to write an Article on the Manufacture of Gunpowder for the Aide Memoire, to replace the present pages on this subject, which treats entirely of the old method pursued; I have thought that a pamphlet separately published, would be of service to those who might not wish the expense of such a large work. The different processes employed, I have endeavoured to explain as clearly and simply as possible, without going into too minute detail, or entering into the cost, &c., &c. of Ingredients, and Manufacture, it having been considered for many reasons not advisable to do so. Several Officers have visited this Establishment within the last year, and appeared to take an interest in the verbal descriptions given them by me, on witnessing the different stages of fabrication; should the perusal of this Pamphlet revive any interest they may have taken in the subject treated of, or give those who have not visited the Factory, some slight insight into the manufacture of this most important material of War, my object in writing these pages will have been more than gained. J. Fraser Baddeley, Waltham Abbey, January, 1857

For more information about the Archive, visit: http: //www.royalgunpowdermills.com/history-heritage/archives/ Description - from the Preface: The following pages are submitted to the public with modesty. The writer of them has been absent from England seventeen years; and there may be improvements in the manufacture of the article he treats of that have not come to his knowledge. He believes there is not a single work extant in the English language that discusses the manipulation of Gunpowder, and the best and most accurate methods of ascertaining its strength and quality. As much information as he could collect on those points is here submitted, and he hopes it will be found useful. J. B., Madras, September, 1830.
