The Chemistry and Metallurgy of Copper, Including a Description of the Principal Copper of the Principal United States and Other Countries, the Art of ... the Various Processes of Copper Smelting, Etc

Having been engaged for some years in the analysis of ores of copper, and in the determination of chemical questions concerning that metal, in connection with a large and well-appointed smelting establishment, the author has acquired experience which he has thought might be of service to others engaged in the same pursuit. He has also been led to believe that some information, in a form accessible to the masses of our people, on the subject of mines, veins and ores of copper, with the known laws of their occurrence, might be of service in assisting in the development of this very important part of the mineral wealth of our country. The present work is designed to supply what the author believes to be a desideratum. His aim has been to popularize it sufficiently for the use of those who have not hitherto made the sciences of chemistry and geology a special study, without so neglecting details as to render it of no value to the expert in these studies. How far he has succeeded in this attempt is for the public to judge.
