Historical information

The author, Charles Loudon Bloxam was Professor of Chemistry in King's College London. Prior to that he was in the Department of Artillery Studies Woolwich and formerly in the Royal Military Academy Woolwich.
"The first edition having appeared when Metallurgy was still treated as a branch of Chemistry, more space is devoted to it than is usual in modern chemical books.
The author's engagements at Woolwich will account for the considerable space allotted to the Chemistry of the various substances employed in warlike stores."
(King's College, London)
