Regarding that 'burning fluid' headstone; if Mr. Danforth's Burning Fluid was anything like standard burning fluid (a popular lamp fuel in pre-kerosene days), it was 80 per cent pure alcohol and 20 percent redistilled turpentine. This stuff was widely used in the 1840s and 1850s as a lamp fuel as it was very cheap (unlike whale oil), very fluid (unlike whale oil) and could burn well in a simple lamp (unlike lard oil, the cheap substitute for whale oil which was also popular at this time). Unfortunately, Burning Fluid is extremely volatile- it vaporizes at a low temperature (Burning fluid lamps were designed to keep the heat of the flame as far away from the font of fuel as possible, but explosions and accidents were common)- and lamps were even reported to have exploded when unlit. Perhaps Ellen was unfamiliar with burning fluid. or maybe she just got unlucky.

Hence the "non-exploding" part of the title. That makes sense! I was a bit surprised to see that in the brand name, I admit, because I didn't think whale oil or lard oil exploded with that sort of regularity. I wasn't familiar with burning fluid until now- there can always be gaps in one's knowledge, even in a field of specialty!

I wonder, then, what made Danforth's so much worse than other burning fluid if the tendency to outgas was a feature of a not-uncommon type of lamp fuel. Maybe it was a situation where people were more cavalier with it than other burning fluid because of the "non-exploding" label, and that made it more dangerous? Maybe it had an unusual ingredient that caused even more volatility? Either way, thank you so much for the added context!

Written in the late 17th century, this Christian allegory has inspired countless readers with its message of faith, redemption, and resilience. It follows the journey of a man named Christian as he travels from his hometown, the City of Destruction, to the Celestial City—a pilgrimage that…

Video: Pilgrim’s Progress 3 Audiobook:

Part 1: Title

I am a huge fan of John Bunyan (1628–1698) and his Pilgrim’s Progress. I was left wanting more after Installment 2, known as ‘Christiana’. A part 3 did emerge, and for a time, people thought that it was from John Bunyan himself. However, scholarship now deem this to be pseudepigraphical work. That people thought that part 3 was from John Bunyan for a long time is why I name the author ‘PseudoBunyan’. This video comprises the Title Page.

The text of Pilgrim’s Progress 3 that I am utilising:

Pilgrim's Progress: Journey To Heaven | Full Movie | Based on John Bun...

[christian-global-outreach]

The book titled “The Pilgrim’s Progress” (1678) was written by John Bunyan who was and is considered to be one of the greatest writers of the 17th century. After over 300 years, his 60 written works still remain highly appreciated throughout Christianity. It’s important to note that the fruitful life of John Bunyan wasn’t as easy as most would think. For example, the Puritan inspired believer endured the sufferings of poverty where he was later persecuted by the Anglican Church for his Puritan based sermons. The 140th page of the title states: For this I will boldly affirm (even as my good companion hath done), that no man can know Jesus Christ but by the revelation of the Father: yea, and faith too, by which the soul layeth hold upon Christ (if it be right), must be wrought by the exceeding greatness of His mighty power. #pilgrimsprogress #johnbunyan #puritan #christianliving #christianbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CfR3c4Ivw_4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
