Excerpt from The Metallurgy of Lead and the Desilverization of Base Bullion As the first edition of this book only appeared in December, it is impossible to do more for the second, which has been called for in an unexpectedly short time, than to add a list of errata. The author will be grateful to readers who will call his attention to any still uncorrected errors, whether Of type or otherwise, or who will favor him with suggestions through which his work can be im proved in each new edition. A treatise on any technical branch of science must necessarily represent to a great extent the per sonal experience and conclusions Of the writer. Thus he is very liable to emphasize difficulties or advantages familiar to himself in a given mode of practice at the expense of others with which he has not happened to be brought in contact. It is only by compar ing the experiences and views of others with his own that any one can mm to produce in the end a book Of general and lasting value.
