DETONATING SYSTEM. 85 



Can you shoot well with a flint-gun ? Yes ! Then 

 " leave well enough alone !" Can you ? No ! Then, 

 by all means, go and get a detonater ! 



I have now, I hope and trust, fairly and disin- 

 terestedly stated all that is necessary, both for and 

 against the detonating system, which, at no small 

 expense, I have tried by every kind of experiment, 

 in order to be able to give my opinion to the public 

 independent, instead of with the assistance, of gun- 

 makers.
