Abstract
THE preparation of metallic lead from its several ores, amongst which galena stands foremost, presents to us processes and circumstances which, though generally simple, are amongst the most interesting and delicate in the whole range of productive metallurgy. It is therefore with even more expectation than attached to his former volumes on Copper, Zinc, and Iron that we opened Dr. Percy's present volume; and, in finding a copious and well-arranged compilation, we have not been disappointed, although we might have anticipated something more of original research.
