| Summary | "The Pyrotechnist's Treasury; Or, Complete Art of Making Fireworks" by Thomas Kentish is a comprehensive guide on pyrotechnics, likely written in the late 19th century. This work delves deeply into the art of making fireworks, including practical recipes and methods for creating various pyrotechnic effects. It is tailored for both amateurs and experienced individuals interested in understanding the intricate details of crafting fireworks. The opening of this manual establishes its purpose and significance in the realm of pyrotechnics. Initially, the author discusses the lack of substantial English literature on the subject before his work, noting the inadequacies of previous publications. Kentish expresses his intent to provide a thorough resource filled with practical advice from his extensive experience in pyrotechnics. He introduces key concepts related to making Roman candles and rockets and emphasizes safety protocols and detailed procedures to ensure successful results. The beginning sets the stage for a practical and informative text that promises to enhance the reader's knowledge and skills in fireworks crafting. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
