On the Manufacture of Iron #251017

The iron trade can, perhaps, hardly be said to be still in its infancy but we have certainly much, very much, to learn, before we can boast of anything like a complete knowledge of its different processes. We observe many facts in this, as well as in other branches of the manufactory, of which the most that we can say is, that they are connected with or caused by certain other accompany ing facts, though we are ignorant how this connexion exists often, indeed, our knowledge does not extend so far.
