Excerpt from Lectures on Iron-Founding IN addition to the ordinary teaching in connection with the School of Metallurgy of the University of Birmingham, special short courses of lectures dealing with local industries have been arranged from time to time. These have been delivered in the evenings, and have attracted considerable audiences. In the spring of last year, for the third time since the department was established in Mason College in 1885, the subject chosen was Cast Iron. There was no intention to publish these lectures when they were originally prepared, but so many requests were received for copies, not only from the audience, but also from distant parts, that, somewhat reluctantly, publication was at length decided on. It is hoped by this means that those who attended the lectures will have an opportunity of going once more over the same ground, whilst the information will also be rendered available for a wider public. At the same time it is realized that the lectures will lose in publication the advantages of practical illustration at the lecture table. The form most suitable for popular explanation is also, at times, not that most fitted for a written statement. Hence, though the general scope of the lectures has been retained, Opportunity has been taken to introduce some alterations and additions, which will, it is hoped, make the work more permanently useful.
