Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Manufacture of Steel: Containing the Practice and Principles of Working and Making Steel; A Hand-Book for Blacksmiths and Workers in Steel and Iron, Wagon-Makers, Die-Sinkers, Cutlers, and Manufactures of Files and Hardware, of Steel and Iron, and for Men of Science and Art

The manufacture of steel is unnecessarily shrouded in mystery, which has been the cause of its being not more generally in ap plication than it is at the present time. Steel is a superior metal for most purposes where metals are used, and its manufacture cannot be too much cultivated. A principal obstacle to its more general introduction is its high price; to effect a reduction in which, has been the aim of the author of this work.

We compare favourably in most branches of manufacture, and indeed eclipse other nations, except in the manufacture of steel.
