Abstract
THIS well-known work on the metallurgy of the non-ferrous metals was first made available to the English metallurgist in 1898 by Prof. H. Louis. At that time there was not, in the English language, a complete treatise on this branch of the subject, and it was at once recognised that the book was an addition to our literature. The fact that Prof. Louis had rendered metallurgists a valuable service receives confirmation in the demand for a third edition. In preparing- this new edition, Prof. Louis wisely decided to bring the work up to date himself, and not to wait for the publication of the third German edition, for, as he states in the preface, “all the important modern improvements in metallurgical practices are to be found in English-speaking countries.”
