This is a clean looking exlibrary book with small number on DJ spine, no pocket, with the usual library markings; DJ spine faded, 1" tear at rear panel. "... discusses the various views of the nature of Greek fire and offers what the author believes to be a final solution of the problem, which has some bearing on the early use of petroleum and the invention of its distillation. It analyses the evidence for the earliest knowledge of gunpowder in Europe, dealing with Roger Bacon, Albertus Magnus, and numerous books of recipes and military arts of the Middle Ages." 381 pages; Ex-Library; 7 1/2 x 10
