Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Metallurgy
The literature of metallurgy is rich, but those who are beginning to study it need guidance to a knowledge of the principles on which the art is rightly practised. It depends, as is well known, on the application of chemistry, physics, and mechanics; but the methods of metallurgists vary greatly from those of chemists, who, however, frequently fail to appreciate the nature of the difference.
Ten years' experience has convinced me that it is more important at the outset for the student to know what was the scope of mind of the early practisers of metallurgy, and to see what kind of aid the art may be expected to receive in future from the sciences, than to acquire familiarity with complicated details of processes and appliances. In this little volume I have, therefore, devoted four chapters to these branches of the subject, embodying in them portions of lectures which I have delivered from time to time.
In all English works on metallurgy, the important metals are dealt with separately and in detail. In this, however, an attempt has been made to treat the subject as a whole, giving no minute descriptions of processes, but choosing typical appliances and indicating their use in connection with groups of metals. Such a method was adopted by the late M. Gruner, Professor of Metallurgy at the Ecole des Mines, Paris, to whom I have reason to be grateful, for I have closely followed him in my class lectures.
