the department of iron manufacturing operations to which it is devoted.
The -«riter states in his preface, that for twenty-five years he has feit the
necessity of such a work, and has evidently brought to its preparation the
fruits of experience, a painstaking regard for accuracy of statement, and a
desire to furnish Information in a style readily understood. The book should
be in the hands of every one interested, either in the general praetice of
mechanieal engineering, or the special branch of manufacturing operations to
-which the work relates.’’—American Artisan.
