Description
Excerpt from Electrolysis: A Practical Treatise on Nickeling, Coppering, Gilding, Silvering, the Refining of Metals and Treatment of Ores, by Means of Electricity
Treatises on Electrolysis are fewer in France than in England, in the United States, and in Germany. This is not because the subject has been less studied in France than in other countries, but because French authors have published their works in the columns of scientific journals instead of publishing them in book shape.
Amongst the best known works, those of Sprague, Napier, Watt, Urquhart, Gore, and Wilson have passed through many editions in England; and those of Kafelowski, Scelhorft, Van Kress, Julius Weiss, Japing, Hans Jahn, and Pfanhauser are held in great estimation in Austria and Germany. Italy is beginning to enrich herself with some remarkable works upon the subject.
In France, only two practical treatises on Electrolysis are known which are of a real value: - 'Guide du doreur, de Pargenteur et du galvanoplaste' (Guide for Gilding, Silvering, and Electro-depositing), by Roseleur; and 'Elements d electrochimie' (Elements of Electro-chemistry), by Becquerel.
These two treatises complete each other, but are antiquated, having been written long before the recent progress made in electric generators, so that French technological literature, although so rich in theoretical and practical documents concerning almost every other branch of industry, shows in the speciality with which we are now dealing, a lamentable deficiency.
Our object in publishing this work is to make up for this deficiency to the best of our ability.
In order to facilitate the study of the subject, we have divided the work into four sections.
