Many notable additions, dealing with new processes and developments, will be found in the New Edition. “ The value of this work is almost inestimable. There can be no question that the amount of time and labour bestowed on it is enormous. . . . There is certainly no Metallurgical Treatise in the language calculated to jirove of such general utility.”—Mining Journal. ‘“Elements of Metallurgy’ possesses intrinsic merits of the highest degree. Such a work is precisely wanted by the great majority of students and practical workers, and its very compactness is in itself a first-rate recom- mendation. The author has treated with great skill the metallurgical opera- tions relating to all the principal metals. The methods are described with •surprising clearness and exactness, placing an easily intelligible picture of each process even before men of less practical experience, and illustrating the most important contrivances in an excellent and perspicuous manner. . . . Hi -our opinion the best work ever written on the subject with a view to its practical treatment.”—Westminster Review. “In this most useful and handsome volume is condensed a large amount of -valuable practical knowledge. A careful study of the first division of the Book, on Fuels, will be found to be of great value to every one in training for the practical applications of our scientific knowledge to any of our metallurgi- •cal operations.”—Athenceum. “ A -work which is equally valuable to the Student as a Text-book, and to the j)ractical Smelter as a Standard Work of Reference. . . . The Illustra- tions are admirable examples of Wood Engraving.”—Chemical News. %
