Excerpt from The Cupola Furnace Although it is now more than twenty years since the publication of the author's volume, "The Founding of Metals," that book is still in demand. The reception which has been tendered to it, together with the urgent requests of many foundrymen for a more modern work on cupolas, has encouraged him to prepare the treatise now offered to the public. This volume is designed to supply a want long felt, for a work on melting that would give practical details regarding the construction and management of cupolas, and the melting of iron for foundry work. Several valuable books have been written on the moulding and founding of iron and steel, but in these books, as in the foundry, but comparatively little attention is given to the cupola; and foundrymen and melters have been left to grope very much in the dark, and to rely solely on their own experience, in the construction and management of their cupolas. This condition of things, and the great importance of the subject, have combined to induce the author in the present work to endeavor to develop the most vital principles connected with the cupola, its construction and its use, together with the best practice of this country. In order to accomplish these ends, he has supplemented his almost lifelong experience by consulting the latest works on foundry practice, and by visiting leading and thoroughly up-to-date foundries in different parts of the United States. He therefore trusts that this book will prove to be a useful aid to foundrymen, whether owners or workers, both here and abroad.

Excerpt from The Furnace of Iron I wonder what the young man will be like? Mused Aunt Esther, who prided herself on the prae tical outlook she took of Life. She was thinking as she cut out her flannel petticoats that through the efforts of this prospective convert she and her sister might alone enjoy, the uplifting triumph of all mighty Islam's overthrow. George Carlyon wrote apprising them of a young Egyptian's arrival in London to study various branches of exact science in order in due time to instruct his brethren. He is a presentable young fellow and well'connected. Be kind to him, as he is a total stranger to the roaring metropolis, and you may teach him a little that he doesn't know yet and keep him out of trouble. His people hold me responsible for his reception and I dare not disappoint them. He is, I believe, very clever when he chooses to work. His religion is already yielding to the blandishments of education, I fancy, and he may end by turning Christian. Do you feel inclined to try your hand on him? Whatever happens he is well worth the trouble. His course is for two years. I have given him an introduction to you which he will soon present in person. Try conversion if you like, but at any rate be kind to him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
