Excerpt from Press-Working of Metals: A Treatise Upon the Principles and Practice of Shaping Metals in Dies by the Action of Presses, Together With a Description of the Construction of Such Implements in Their Various Forms, and of the Materials Worked in Them
A portion of the matter herein contained was written over two years ago at the request of the editor of the Metal Worker of New York, and was published as a serial in that journal, and also in the Iron Age. Several new chapters, however, have since been introduced, together with over a hundred additional engravings, and the whole has been subjected to a careful revision and amplification. No attempt has been made to limit the language to the rigid brevity and technicality of a text-book on mathematics or chemistry, a freer style, rhetorically speaking, being perhaps more acceptable to the general reader.
