A Manual Of Assaying

""A Manual of Assaying: The Fire Assay of Gold, Silver, and Lead, Including Amalgamation and Chlorination Tests"" is a comprehensive guidebook on the process of assaying, written by Alfred Stanley Miller and originally published in 1905. The book provides detailed instructions and explanations on the various methods of assaying precious metals, such as gold and silver, as well as lead. The primary focus of the book is on the fire assay method, which involves heating a sample to high temperatures to separate the metal from other materials. In addition to fire assay, the book also covers amalgamation and chlorination tests, which are alternative methods of extracting metals from ores. The book is intended for use by professionals in the mining and metallurgy industries, as well as students and researchers interested in the science of assaying. It includes illustrations, diagrams, and tables to aid in understanding the complex processes involved in assaying. ""A Manual of Assaying"" is considered a classic reference book in the field and is still used by assayers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
