"We have now to announce the appearance of another valuable work on the 

 subject, which, in our humble opinion, supplies any deficiency which late im- 

 provements and discoveries may have caused, from the lapse of time since the 

 date of ' Mushet' and ' Schrivenor.' It is the production of one of our trans- 

 atlantic brethren, Mr. Fredericli Overman, Mining Engineer ; and we do not 

 hesitate to set it down as a work of great importance to all connected with the 

 iron interest; one which, while it is sufficiently technological fuUy to explain 

 chemical analysis, and the various phenomena of iron under different circum- 

 stances, to the satisfaction of the most fastidious, is written in that clear and 

 comprehensive style as to be available to the capacity of the humblest mind, 

 and consequently will be of much advantage to those works where the proprie- 

 tors may see the desirability of placing it in the hands of theh operatives." —
