The following pages have been written with a very definite aim. They deal with principles and their application, and the book is thus a guide. Within recent years several treatises have appeared, dealing with the more comprehensive subject of electro-metallurgy, and some attention has there been directed to the electrodeposition of metals. Our experience goes to show, however, that the art of electro-deposition is practised by many to whom a more thorough understanding of the underlying principles would seem to be desirable. In this country, facilities for acquiring such knowledge are on the increase. The study of the fundamentals is being pursued, and in specially equipped laboratories, systematic courses of instruction are being given. While, however, such facilities are offered, they are not within the reach of many for whom they are particularly designed, and it is partly to meet this need that this volume is now issued. Some difficulty has been experienced in deciding to what extent assumption of previous knowledge of the simple principles of chemical and electrical science might be made. An elementary knowledge of chemistry has of necessity been taken for granted, but students are strongly urged to follow systematic coiurses of instruction in order to more fully comprehend the matters under discussion, and to more successfully cope with the many problems which present themselves in workshop and laboratory practice. Details of workshop practice are but briefly treated. These matters have been elaborated in other treatises.
