Description

The Seven Year War dominated the mid-18th century. In the course of Britain's struggle for supremacy over France, particularly in Europe and North America, the army and navy required an unprecedented quantity of gunpowder. This book supplies the first detailed study of the gunpowder trade, which was of crucial importance to the conduct of the war. It describes how gunpowder was supplied by watermills in south-east England and the hazardous procedure by which it was shipped to the main magazine at Greenwich; mills suffered explosions, were exposed to severe trade fluctuations, and had difficulty meeting the high standard required. The government, needing more gunpowder than ever before, actually had dangerously low stocks in its magazines, due mainly to the competing needs of the African slave trade and the North American fur trade in addition to demand from mines and quarries.
