Abstract
DR. WILLIAM CULLEN, who took the presidency of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy on Oct. 17 last, chose for his presidential address the subject of mining explosives, this being one with which the greater part of his life's work has been identified. The address, therefore, constitutes an exceedingly valuable summary of the present position of the explosives industry; it is so rich in material that it is practically impossible to give an abstract of it which will do anything like justice to the large amount of matter it represents, there being practically no aspect of explosives with which Dr. Cullen has not dealt.
