PREFACE.

The lectures on “Modern Copper Smelting” embodied in this volume were delivered at the University of Birmingham to the Senior Students in the School of Metallurgy and to others interested in the subject.

They are based largely upon the results of a study of the practice as conducted at a number of the best organised smelters and refineries in the United States of America, at which the author has had the opportunity of spending some considerable time, and it has been felt that there exists a scope, particularly on this side of the Atlantic, for a compact volume dealing broadly with the principles underlying Modern Copper Smelting, illustrated with such examples of working practice from personal observation. The subject-matter of the Lectures has been extended by the addition of an Introduction on the History, Uses, and General Metallurgy of Copper as applied to Modern Practice.
