“An excellent example of what such books ought to be. It is a pity that the author did not keep clear altogether of chemical equations, which he might easily have done in a purely popular treatise, as he has been somewhat unfortunate in their use. In a future edition the author might with advantage devote a little space to the galvanising of iron.”
