An Introduction To The Study Of Metallurgy

PREFACE. the extraction of metals from their ores and fitting them for use are fully discussed. Such are the classical treatises of Percy, the monographs of Sir Lowthian Bell, and the manual of Phillips and Bauerman, from which volume a few illustrations have been borrowed. The literature of the subject has been enriched by Howe, of Boston, who has collected a store of facts in his elaborate and recently-published volume on steel. In the preparation of a portion of this little work, I have been aided by my colleague, Mr. Bennett Brough, whose help has been specially useful in passing the work through the press. I hope that the book will be found useful to my own students, for whose progress I feel sincere solicitude. CHILWORTH SU, RREY, December 23, 1890.
