A translation of Dr. Carl Schnabel's Hand- Book of Metallurgy. Edited by Henry Louis, Professor 



of Mining at the Durham College of Science. 



"It is a curious fact that there does not exist in the English language a single complete treatise on 

 Metallurgy. There are a number of smaller text-books mainly adapted to the use of students, which cover the 

 entire field, but make no pretense of describing it with any thoroughness of detail ; and there are a number of 

 very admirable works dedicated to the metallurgy of individual metals. . . . Such being the position of our 

 literature on this subject, I venture to think that I am rendering a distinct service in submitting a translation of 

 the most recent and most exhaustive work on the subject in any language from the pen of that eminent 

 metallurgical authority, Dr. Carl Schnabel, of Clausthal. The object of his work has been to give a complete 

 account of the metallurgical treatment of every one of the metals ordinarily employed, together with all the 

 recent improvements in the art, while at the same time pointing out the scientific principles underlying each 

 process, and illustrating each by examples drawn from actual practice in various parts of the world." — From the 

 Author's Preface. ____^_^^_____^^^^___
