Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Electro-Metallurgy: Including the Applications of the Art to Manufacturing Processes The author of the following Treatise was engaged for several years in the application of Electro-Metallurgy to the purposes of manufacture. His operations were performed with solutions of all the metals, and upon objects of every size and form. They commenced when the art was young, when its practical applications were speculative, its advantages and disadvantages equally unknown; when difficulties of all kinds, such as beset every new art, had to be met, and considered, and overcome. The course of his daily proceedings threw him into the way of observations much more extensive and much more diversified than could possibly have occurred to any amateur of the art. Where large operations in an extensive business were concerned, it was necessary to attend to details that some would have considered trifling, and to overcome obstacles that others might have deemed insurmountable. Under the pressure of these circumstances, all means were employed to procure information. Innumerable electrotype processes were repeated as soon as they were published, and original experiments were made in a variety of forms, and frequently on an extensive scale, with a view to the removal of particular difficulties, or to find the means of accomplishing certain desirable ends. These proceedings and inquiries afforded numerous results, not only useful in the manufacture in which the author was engaged, but interesting to the man of Science. And it is because of their general utility to all persons engaged in the multifarious processes into which the art of Electro-Metallurgy has ramified, that he has been induced to throw them into the form of the following Treatise.
