The German original is acknowledged to be the best existing work on the subject ; and 

 this new translation has the advantages of being well up to date and absolutely modern 

 in its descriptions of methods of treatment, etc. 



The author's high reputation vouches for the book which 

 will appeal the more to American students for the considerable 

 attention given to work done in different parts of the United 

 States. 



Dr. Schnabel's rank among metallurgists is indicated by his 

 recent call to Australia to advise as to complex silver ores dis- 

 covered there. 



The translator's name has long been connected with mining 



and kindred subjects, not only through his book on " Gold 



Milling," described by the " Mining Review " as " one of the 



most concise, practical and complete treatises yet published," 



but also because of his practical knowledge of all the details ( the chemistry, etc.) of the 



subject, and of the investigations which have been made in all parts of the world. 



" It is a curious fact that there does not exist iu the English language a single com- 

 plete treatise on Metallurgy. There are a number of smaller text-books mainl_y adapted to 

 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 ex- 

 haustive 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 em- 

 ployed, together with all the recent improvements in the art, whilst at the same time point- 

 ing out the scientific principles underl^ang each process, and illustrating each by examples 

 drawn from actual practice in various parts of the world." — From the Author's Preface.
