The author of this volume has assumed the task of supplying the Enameling Trade with a really useful and readily understood Manual, treating the subject in an absolutely up-to-date manner, and availing himself of the latest achievements of modern scientific progress.
As the Enameling Trade up to the present time has not had any literature worth mentioning, in the English language, at least, I feel confident that my efforts, devoted to so useful a cause, will meet with general appreciation.
