Abstract
THE author of this handsome volume has played an active part in the metallurgical world, as the head of a famous firm of manufacturers, as an inventor and investigator, and as the president of several technical societies. He has received many public honours, and has been prominent in the life of his city and of the industrial community. Above all, he is personally acquainted with most of the leaders of industry, of physical science, and of education in this and several other countries, and has kept in close touch with related movements, so that he brings to the task of writing a book on metallurgy an exceptionally wide range of experience. From time to time, in. presidential and other public addresses, he has reviewed the progress of science and invention, the scope and objects of education, and similar subjects, and it is the material of those addresses, expanded and supplemented by other matter, which has been recast into the form of the present volume, which is well and lavishly illustrated.
