Major Majendie, 8.A., H.M's. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law relating to dynamite is as much too stringent as the gunpowder law is too lax; and (page 20, par. 115) that the time has come for relieving safe nitro-glycerine preparations from such unnecessary restrictions as the Nitro-glycerine Act imposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chemist to Her Majesty's War Department, gives his experience that Nobel's dynamite is one of the safest, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents applicable to industrial purposes.—Blue Book, pages|s6, sl,[&ai 59, AGHNI3*.
