Excerpt from The Shrapnel Shell in England and in Belgium: With Some Reflections on the Use of This Projectile in the Late Crimean War, a Historic-Technical Sketch
Part of the following pages were originally written in English, having been destined to be inserted in an English military journal in order to rectify some erroneous statements on the Belgian metallic fuze for explosive projectiles. Circumstances having interfered with the execution of this purpose at the time, I was afterwards induced to extend my remarks on the use of the Shrapnel Shell in the late Crimean war, and relying on the indulgence of my readers, I have preferred leaving the whole in English, as the most important of my quotations are from works in that language.
