What reading level is The New Chemistry [microform] book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not nearly so explosive as gunpowder, and I am told that the flame of an ordinary match can be quenched in it without danger, although I confess that I should be un- willing to try the experiment. Still, there can be no 244 NITRO-GLYCERINE.
doubt that, under ordinary circumstances, a small flame will not ignite it. My knowledge of the matter is de- rived from Professor Hill, late of the Torpedo Station at Newport, who has studied very carefully the prepara- tion and application of the mat...erial. He is of opinion that most of the accidents which have given to nitro- glycerine such an unfortunate notoriety have been caused by the use of an impure article, and that proper care in its preparation would greatly lessen the danger attending its use. Nitro-glycerine is usually exploded, not by the direct application of heat, but by a sudden and violent concussion, which is obtained by firing in contact with it a fuse of some fulminating powder.
The effects of this explosion are as peculiar as the method by which it is obtained, and I can best illustrate the subject by describing an experiment with nitro- glycerine which I witnessed myself at the Torpedo Station a few years since.
