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 quantity of Fulminating Silver used, as very unpleasant
consequences might arise from the use of too large a quantity; and on
the other hand, no effect produced by too small a quantity; 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 quantities
I have here specified for each object: and let me request that it may
in no one instance be exceeded.
