Excerpt from A Study of Electrothermal and Electrolytic Industries, Vol. 1 of 3This book is intended for the use of all classes of technical or commercial men, and students engaged in the young but rapidly growing industries Of electrochemistry and electrometallurgy.Although such a book can be little more than a rearrangement of matter already published in various forms, I hope nevertheless that it will fill a want not yet adequately filled by existing text books, of which none is an entirely practical and comprehensive handbook.The great lack of really practical information about nearly all industrially successful processes in electrometallurgy and electrochemistry, outside of that possessed by those practicing the various specialized branches of the industry, is due to our commercial conditions, which make it necessary for individual producers to jealously guard their secrets from their competitors, to the great detriment Of the advance of the industries as a whole. In such a situation there are necessarily very few people possessing an extensive practical knowledge on a particular subject who are likely to write about it.The author hopes that a somewhat unusually wide and varied experience in more than one branch of these industries places him in a favorable position in this respect and will consequently lend to the book a wider utility.The general arrangement of the book has been the subject of much thought, and is on a somewhat novel plan.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
