"The Young Mans book of Amusement"

definitely probobly not what you were expecting… warning… book contains some of the most dangerous/and or *ill advised “experiments” (*see using the expansive force of water freezing to EXPLODE artillery??

published in 1854 and within its 384 pages are Gems of Victorian Science… such as; “tips” on doing “reanimation science” on “dead criminals”….

some are pretty incredible (*unrepeatable? well, not with the “scientist” surviving anyway..)

Why not try being a lifesaver to a fly by “putting a drowned fly on finely powdered chalk or ashes” you can apparently revive it… first to try and send a video of this will be the winner of my who wants to be the winner contest. (soon to be serialized and syndicated)
