Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Practical Assaying
A little more prominence has been given to the English system of grain weights, as English assayers are more familiar with these than with the metric system in use on the Continent and, as far as possible, the decimal system has been adopted, the grain being taken as the unit. SO many valuable memoirs on assaying and metallurgical subjects are published abroad that it has, however, been found impracticable to adhere universally to grains.

Product Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Practical Assaying
These considerations, coupled with the paucity of any knowledge of Assaying, excepting that confined to a very limited number of persons, induced the author of the following pages to turn a considerable amount of his at tention to this subject, more especially as much difficulty was experienced in not having a suitable text book for the use of his pupils. A portion of the following pages was drawn up as a Manual for such a purpose; but, on con sideration, it was thought the extension of such a work was so much needed that it was determined to alter the original plan as far as was consistent with the complete carrying out of the object in view, viz. The production of a Manual embodying information in every branch of Assaying, either by the wet or the dry processes.
