Excerpt from An Outline of the Metallurgy of Iron Steel This book was prepared to meet a need which the first Author had felt in his teaching, viz., a book which, in one volume of moderate size, would cover the whole field of the Metallurgy of Iron and Steel. That the book has, to some extent at least, met this need is evidenced by the fact that a second edition has been called for. This edition has been carefully revised, and some chapters have been re-written, so that they may bring the information up to the present condition of our knowledge. Considerable attention has been given to the latest work in connection with the metallography and heat treatment of the metal. The difficulty of selection from the vast mass of material now available is very great, and the Authors have done their best to give an account of all the more important developments in processes and plant, whilst retaining as much of the older processes as is necessary to an understanding of modern developments. A few processes which are no longer in use are described on account of their historical interest. In such a work as this it is impossible that there should be much that is new, and the Authors wish to express their indebtedness to the writers who have gone before, particularly to Dr. Percy and Sir I. Lowthain Bell, who have passed away; and to Prof. Howe, Mr. H. H. Campbell, Dr. Stead, and other great workers who are still with us. The Authors have to thank the Councils of the various Societies for permission to use matter in their Proceedings, the Editors of various Technical Journals, and many private friends who have given help in various ways. In most cases the source of information and illustrations are acknowledged in the text or notes; but if this has been inadvertently omitted the Authors tender their sincere apology for the oversight. In the preparation of such a book, making use of notes accumulated through years of teaching, it is not always possible to ascertain the source from which information was obtained. To readers - especially students - the Authors would point out that no text-book can be more than a guide to reading. The books quoted should be referred to wherever possible, and no opportunity should be lost of referring to the original papers, as only by so doing can a real insight be obtained into the methods of the men who have made and are making the great industry, and whose influence for good in the world cannot be over-estimated; and one cannot make much progress himself till he has mastered the methods of those who have gone before.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Metallurgy of Iron: Containing Outlines of the History of Iron Manufacture, Methods of Assay, and Analyses of Iron Ores, Processes of Manufacture of Iron and Steel, Etc;, Etc The importance of the subject has claimed for the Metallurgy of Iron much careful scientific investi gation, both in this country and abroad; but being con fined, for the most part, to large and expensive works, or to the pages of scientific periodicals, it is scarcely available for the technical education of the great class to whom an accurate knowledge of the physical pro perties of the ores, and the latest and most approved means of reducing them to a condition suited for the purposes of the manufacturer, has become an imperative necessity to enable us fully to meet foreign competition.
