Présentation de l'éditeur
To promote condensation and facility of reference, and to avoid repetition, those operations which are common to all mining and metallurgy are first described in general and comprehensive terms, and as far as possible in natural sequence. Next, the non-metalliferous minerals are taken in alphabetic order, a chapter being devoted to each, and embracing all the available practical information respecting their occurrence, working, extraction, preparation, qualities, uses, valuation, and commerce, with details of special processes and machinery employed. Similar treatment is given to the metals and their ores in their turn, not omitting the metallurgical operations necessary for separating allied metals from each other. Obviously, in the preparation of such a volume it is impossible to be independent of the experiences of others, and therefore originality is to be looked for less in the facts recorded than in the method of marshalling them, the one aim and object of the book being Practical Utility. 15 Gboboe Stbbet, Mansion Housb, London, E.G.
