Publisher's Synopsis
The ""Manual Of Assaying: Gold, Silver, Lead, Copper"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by Walter Lee Brown in 1902. The book provides detailed instructions and practical advice on the art of assaying, which is the process of analyzing the composition of metals and minerals. The author covers the four most commonly assayed metals - gold, silver, lead, and copper - and provides detailed information on the tools, techniques, and procedures involved in their analysis. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of the assaying process, from the preparation of samples to the calculation of results. The author also includes a section on the history of assaying and its importance in the mining industry. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of assaying, from students and professionals in the mining industry to hobbyists and collectors of precious metals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
