I have some interesting volumes, published in 1873 if I remember rightly, called "Workshop Receipts". 'Receipts' was obviously used to mean 'Recipes' back then.
Amongst all sorts of useful knowledge is a section on how to make nitroglycerine, with practical advice on keeping the mixture cool, and avoiding breathing the fumes to avoid severe headaches!
