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.
