Elements of Electro-Metallurgy (Classic Reprint)

At length, however, having determined to revise my previous labours, I commenced the task of writing the Second Edition with an unwillingness exceeded only by that with which I began the first. The cordial reception, however, of the former, made me the more anxious to render the pre ent deserving that favour, which I am afraid was too liberally bestowed upon my first attempt. In prosecuting my labours such extensive alterations, corrections, but more especially additions, have occurred, that this volume has rather become a new Treatise than a Second Edition. Notwithstanding that the work has been doubled in bulk, and partly re-written, it has afforded me great pleasure to discover that the new matter has arisen either from an addition or substitution of new inventions, or an extension of those before known, and not from errors in the former experiments.
