Excerpt from Manual of Assaying: Gold, Silver, Lead, CopperIt is my sincere belief that there is no book in the English language on the subject of assaying which occupies the space that this little manual tries to fill.A number of such publications fail to meet the want, on account of their antiquity, they having been written some thirty years ago; hence their methods. At all events, I have tried to give here in print the precise instruction which I have previously imparted orally to my students. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works..
