Abstract
THIS book will be welcomed by all assayers who appreciate the value of the teaching at the Royal School of Mines, and is of special interest to old students of the School, for the reason that it gives an account of the methods of assaying which have been taught there during the last few years. Almost all the notes issued to the students in the laboratory are contained in the book, and, in addition, besides other matter, the author gives some general remarks which will be of use to mine assayers and prospectors. Mr. Wraight is well equipped for the task of reminding his former students of what he has taught them. He was for some years the senior demonstrator in the assay laboratory of the Royal School of Mines, and in that capacity has been able to command the attention and affectionate respect of all who have come under his guidance. His work has only recently passed into other hands.
