Excerpt from The Metallurgy of Lead Silver, Vol. 1: Lead; Being One of a Series of Treatise on Metallurgy Written by Associates of the Royal School of Mines
The object of Part I. of this treatise is to supply a condensed compendium of information on the Metallurgy of Lead, accurate as well as fairly up-to-date, and useful, therefore, to the busy working metallurgist as well as to the student. As regards American and German practice, the ground has been so well covered by the recent works of Hofman and Schnabel, that little has been attempted beyond condensing the information contained in the above works, supplementing it from other contemporary sources and from the Author's own practical experience and observation, and presenting a digest of the whole in a compact form.
In addition, however, Australian practice in smelting and in desilverisation will be found here described for the first time in considerable detail. It is further hoped that the standpoint aimed at in considering the whole subject, which is cosmopolitan rather than one mainly American or German, will render the information supplied more useful to English students and metallurgists.
With the object of economising space, as well as of facilitating reference and comparison, details of the practice at particular localities have been, as far as possible, thrown into the form of tabular statements. These will be found scattered throughout the book in almost every chapter, and it is hoped they will prove a useful feature.
