Author Description

Excerpt from Siderology: The Science of Iron The science now termed siderology comprises the study of iron and its alloys, and is a subject only as yet in its infancy. True, the beginnings are to be found in the literature and text-books on iron smelting a long way back, but it is only within the last few years that the construction of this science has been undertaken, and that, too, with considerable eager ness. At present a large number of scientists are engaged in this direction, driving shafts and headings, as it were, into the unexplored regions of this science, so that even now it is evident that the subject will be thoroughly opened up. Within a reasonable time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
