Abstract
THESE two books, which have been issued almost A simultaneously, constitute important additions to the metallurgy of gold. They arc both written by Associates of the Royal School of Mines, and it is singular that although the students of this great national institution have taken their full share in conducting mining and metallurgical operations in all parts of the world, and have gained wide experience, no treatise claiming to give a general account of the metallurgy of gold could hitherto have been attributed to a student of the School of Mines. No work on this subject of equal importance has appeared in English since Dr. Percy issued his volume on “Silver and Gold,” in 1830, bat his book, although unrivalled in accuracy of detail, is only a splendid fragment, and gold is alone dealt with in the sections devoted to the refining of bullion and to assaying.
