Abstract

THIS is a useful little book, which will render good service to the craftsmen for whom it is evidently intended, and by whom such a work was much needed, for, with the exception of the translation of Guettier's “Guide Pratique des Alliages” and Brannt's “Metallic Alloys,” there is no treatise on the subject, the information we possess being scattered through books and monographs which are difficult to obtain.

Mixed Metals, or Metallic Alloys.

By A. H. Hiorns (London: Macmillan and Co., 1890.)
