Description: History of the Manufacture of Iron in All Ages by James Moore Swank Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is the second, much expanded 1892 edition of James M. Swanks influential history of the rise of iron manufacturing around the world, originally published in 1884. Organised chronologically, the book begins by describing iron use in ancient Egypt and finishes by examining its manufacture in late nineteenth-century America. Publisher Description James Moore Swank (1832-1914) was a US expert on iron and steel, and wrote widely about the industry. In 1873 he became secretary of the American Iron and Steel Association. This second edition (1892) of his influential book on iron manufacture was significantly expanded compared to the 1884 original, with 132 more pages, 15 extra chapters, and revisions throughout the text. Swank aimed to move away from the highly technical approach and European focus that had dominated previous works. Instead, he would emphasise names, dates, facts and results, and give special attention to the growth of the industry in the United States while providing an international context. He includes every country and US state that produced iron. The book is organised chronologically, and provides a fascinating account of the manufacture of iron from the ancient Egyptian period through early modern Britain to late nineteenth-century America.
