Excerpt from The Manual of Receipts: Being a Collection of Formul� and Processes for Artisans, Giving the Composition of Various Alloys, Amalgams, Solders, Bronzes, Lacquers, Varnishes, Cements, Etc;, Also Data for the Preservation and Decoration of Various Metallic Articles

In the preparation of this volume I have freely availed myself of the vast store of metal receipts and processes contained in The American Artisan during the nineteen years of its existence. These aforesaid receipts and processes are certainly of special value to sheet metal workers, as they have at one time or another been asked for by readers of that paper, and in a number of cases the information given was fur nished by manufacturers using the receipt in their business or by skilled mechanics furnishing a com pound whose ingredients they had themselves worked out, these valuable data being first published in The American Artisan and never having appeared in book form until now.

I must also acknowledge my indebtedness in the compilation of this volume to leading American and foreign technical journals, notably those published in Germany in behalf of the metal industry, from whose columns I have from time to time clipped receipts, the cream of which is given herewith.
