The whole work is light and practical reading, and is intended to give the greatest amount of information on foundry methods, materials, and metals, with the least possible study. A book such as this, although primarily intended for moulders and founders of every description, is also written for draughtsmen, patternmakers, and the engineering profession in general. As a text book it will be most interesting to many students of metallurgy and users of metals, who either cast or con struct. Nevertheless, to some it may show but little new in founding, and probably something which may be objected to. Still, on the other hand, there may be just as many, nay more, to whom the book may, at least, be a source of relief in times of difficulty, and to such, and all that are interested in the abstruse problems of founding in its many phases is this book specially commended.
