A Manual Of Assaying

A Manual of Assaying: The Fire Assay of Gold, Silver, and Lead, Including Amalgamation and Chlorination Tests (1905) by Alfred Stanley Miller is a comprehensive guide to the process of assaying precious metals. The book covers the fire assay method, which involves heating a sample of the metal in a furnace until it melts and then adding various chemicals to extract the precious metal. The author provides detailed instructions on the equipment needed, as well as the procedures for preparing the sample, weighing the metal, and performing the assay. In addition to the fire assay, the book also covers other methods of assaying, including amalgamation and chlorination tests. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of assaying, as well as for those who work in the mining industry or in the production 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.
