Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Ore Dressing
My competence in the subject lies to some extent in my own work and observation, but much more in the study of the published work and experience of others. Teachers and students to-day have at their disposal valuable Transactions of Mining and Metallurgical Institutions, and admirable technical Periodicals; upon such I have largely drawn, making endeavour always to give specific acknowledgement. Beyond this, to cover all the indebtedness for which no Specific reference is possible, and such references as have unwittingly been overlooked, I gratefully make general acknowledgement.
I am likewise greatly indebted to my colleagues of the Imperial College, and particularly to Professor L. H. Cooke, and Mr. B. W. Holman, of the Mining Department, for advice and assistance, always insisting, however, that my good colleagues are not involved in any such crudities of statement or treatment as may be deemed to exist. To Mr. H. G. Dines, also, I desire to express my thanks for valuable help with the illustrations.
