The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of the fire assay process. The first chapter provides an introduction to fire assaying and explains the basic principles of the method. The following chapters cover the various steps involved in the process, including the preparation of samples, the fusion of the sample with fluxes, the cupellation of the resulting button, and the analysis of the resulting bead. Throughout the book, Fulton provides detailed instructions and explanations, as well as numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the process. He also includes information on the history of fire assaying, as well as its modern applications in the mining and metallurgical industries. Overall, A Manual of Fire Assaying is an essential reference for anyone involved in the field of assaying or mineral processing. It is a practical, easy-to-use guide that provides a wealth of information on the theory and practice of fire assaying.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
