| Summary | "The Art of Glass-Blowing" by T.-P. Danger is a practical guide written in the early 19th century. This instructional text serves to educate readers on the techniques of glass-blowing and the creation of various scientific instruments from glass, such as barometers and thermometers. It aims to provide clear steps and methods for both experienced artisans and novices who may want to explore this delicate and fascinating craft. At the start of the book, the translator offers insights into the significance of mastering glass-blowing to enable scientists and chemists to create their own instruments rather than relying solely on commercial sources. The initial chapters describe essential tools like the blowpipe and lamp, outlining their functions and improvements. The author emphasizes the accessibility of glass-blowing through economical means and practical instructions, encouraging potential learners by highlighting that the perceived difficulties can be mastered. Set against the backdrop of a growing interest in scientific experimentation during the period, the opening positions glass-blowing as both an art and a practical necessity for advancing physical sciences.
