Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this book was first published in 1635, fireworks were a relative novelty in the western world - although invented by the Chinese in ancient times. The author, 'an inferior gunner' in the military service of Charles I, wrote his treatise on making fireworks for pleasure to please his superior officer, the Earl of Newport, Master of the King's Ordnance, to whom it is fulsomely dedicated. Babington writes in a clear 'how to' style, and includes instructions - and delightful diagrams and illustrations - on making and lighting many types of fireworks familiar to us today, including rockets and Catherine wheels. There are many more elaborate fireworks listed too, including instructions for making a Royal coat of arms in fire; and directions for staging a duel between a St George and a fire-breathing dragon. One of the oldest titles ever published by the Naval & Military Press, this beautifully illustrated and instructive volume well-deserves its accolade by fireworks expert Chris Phillips as 'The most important work in the bibliography of fireworks'.

This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bursting with images from across time, a sparkling chronicle of rockets, pinwheels, and more. This book illuminates the glittering history of fireworks, from their mysterious beginnings to the dazzling big-budget displays of today. It describes how they enthralled the world’s royal courts and became a sensation across the British Empire. There are stories of innovations like “living fireworks,” fiercely fought international competitions, and the technology behind modern showpieces viewed by millions. Practitioners say fireworks are an art, and they have inspired artists from Shakespeare, Handel, Dickens, and Whistler to Katy Perry. But John Withington also covers fireworks’ practical uses—rescues at sea, attempts to control the weather—while not ignoring their dangers, accidents, or efforts to make them safer.

Book excerpt: The book revolves around the author's experience in creating fireworks, especially in England. Also included in this publication is information on how to make certain types of fireworks, such as ones he calls skyrockets and spurfire. He has this to say regarding his reasons on why he wanted to write this book: "I cannot help reflecting with some kind of chagrin, that, whenever we have had occasion for any of these sorts of diversions to be exhibited in England, we have almost always had recourse to foreigners to execute them; if this has been owing to the ignorance of our own people on this subject, I shall be very happy if it is in my power to correct it."
