The Practical Metal-Worker's Assistant With the Application of the Art of Electrometallurgy to Manufacturing Proceses (Classic Reprint)

The volume, as then published, was received at that time with great favor by practical men, and, although the edition has been entirely exhausted for many months, the demand for it has continued unabated. This demand, and the consciousness of the great value of the book, with the knowledge that it will fill a want much felt at this day, have combined in influencing the present publication. Besides the revisal of the text generally, entire and valuable new chapters have been added to the book, among which may be named the following: On Metallurgic Chemistry andS pecial Metallurgic Operations, by John Scoffern, M. B.; Recently Patented Refining Processes; Wrought-I ron in Large Masses, by William Clay; Application of I ron to Ship-B uilding, by William Fairbairn, and several on the various branches of Electro-M etallurgy. It is believed that that on Recently Patented Refining Processes will be found especially interesting and important, on account of the extended statement therein given of the details of Mr. Bessemer sP rocess of Refining I ron. PHILADELPHIA. MARCH 11864.
