It depends, as is well known, on the application of chemistry, physics, and mechanics; but the methods of metallurgists vary greatly from those of chemists, who, however, frequently fail to appreciate the nature of the difference. Ten years experience has convinced me that it is more important at the outset for the student to know what was the scope of mind of the early practisers of metallurgy, and to see what kind of aid the art may be expected to receive in future from the sciences, than to acquire familiarity with complicated details of processes and appliances. In this little volume I have, therefore, devoted four chapters to these Branches of the subject, embodying in them portions of lectures which I have delivered from time to time. In allE nglish works on metallurgy, the important metals are dealt with separately and in detail. In this, however, an attempt has been made to treat the subject as a whole, giving no minute descriptions of processes, but choosing typical appliances and indicating their use in connection with groups of metals. Such a method was adopted by the late M. Gruner, Professor of Metallurgy at theE cole desM ines, Paris, to whom I have reason to be grateful, for I have closely followed him in my class lectures.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
