Abstract
BOTH these little treatises belong to the excellent series of “Manuali Hoepli,” and, like other members of the series, are written by specialists in their respective subjects. They possess the merit, common to practically all other works of this series, of imparting in the fewest possible words the most essential facts and principles. The treatise on the metallography of iron is essentially a practical guide for the laboratory worker. Its author was sent from Italy to study the methods adopted in the laboratories of Le Chatelier, Fremont, and Guillet, and on returning home established the metallographical laboratory of the Milan steel works. The author has selected for description the methods he has found best suited in practice, and has illustrated the work by nearly 100 of his own microphotographs of steel in its different states.
