Summary "The Whole Secret Laid Open, Or the Complete Art of Making the Chemical Fulminating Objects, &c." is a scientific publication authored anonymously and likely written in the early 19th century. This book serves as a comprehensive manual on creating various explosive and fulminating objects using chemical compounds, particularly focusing on fulminating silver and its applications. It reflects the era's fascination with chemistry and its practical applications in both entertainment and scientific exploration. The book details a variety of methods for constructing items that create explosive effects, such as fulminating letters, balls, and even household items like chairs and boots. Each section provides specific instructions on the materials needed and the procedures to safely create these novelty items, emphasizing the importance of precision and caution in handling sensitive materials. Though presented as a guide for amusement, it also raises awareness about the potential dangers involved in chemical experiments, ultimately serving both as a tutorial and a warning to practitioners.
