Copper to Brass and Lead and Tin in Science and Trade
A scanned excerpt discusses copper as a useful metal, its conversion to brass, zinc and lead properties, tin plate joining, and common uses in pipes, cookware, and coatings. It covers zinc, calcare, and lead mining, then shifts to culture notes, California giant pines, slave trade history, and a long travelogue on river rapids and regional curiosities.
