APPENDIX I. LITERATURE REFERRED TO IN THE TEXT 505

PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
The purpose of this book is to serve as a text-book, not only for college work, but for civil, mechanical, electrical, metallurgical, mining engineers and architects, and for those engaged in work allied to engineering or metallurgy. America now produces almost as much iron and steel as the rest of the world together, although less than eighteen years ago she held second rank in this industry. It seems fitting that the record of this progress should be brought together into one volume covering every branch of the art of extracting the metal from its ores and of altering its adaptable and ever-varying nature to serve the many requirements of civilized life.
January 20, 1908.BRADLEY STOUGHTON.
