Excerpt from Metallurgy: The Art of Extracting Metals From Their Ores; Introduction, Refractory Materials, and Fuel Tm; first of the series of volumes on Metallurgy, by the Author, was published in 1861, and treated of the following subjects Certain Physical Properties of Metals, General Considerations on Metallurgical Processes, Refractory Materials, Fuel, Copper, Zinc, and Brass. The three last-named subj ects are special in their character, while the others are general, and may be regarded as introductory to the subject of Metallurgy. It was originally intended that all the above-mentioned subjects should be com prised in this volume, and it was not until after a considerable portion of it had been printed off, that it was decided to publish the special subjects, Copper, Zinc, and Brass, in a separate volume, on the ground that a single volume containing them all would have been inconveniently large.
