Abstract
INTRODUCTION
THE author regards it as a privilege to be -1 invited to review in these columns the general progress of special or alloy steels during the first twenty-five years of His Majesty's reign. His pleasure in accepting this invitation is further increased by the fact that he had last year the honour of being one of the deputation from the Iron and Steel Institute to present His Majesty with the Bessemer Gold Medal, which he graciously accepted. In doing so, His Majesty was following a precedent established by Queen Victoria and continued by King Edward VII, to whom in 1906 the author himself had the honour of presenting the Medal on behalf of the Iron and Steel Institute. Thus for three generations the Royal Family has demonstrated its concern and interest for the welfare and progress of the iron and steel industry, upon which the prosperity of our country and its position in the world so largely depends.
