Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell (1816 1904) was a leading metallurgist and
industrialist who served as president of both the Iron and Steel
Institute and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He combined
business skills with scientific expertise and was recognised as a
world authority on blast furnace technology. His major works reveal
both technical know-how and commercial awareness, and show that he
was conscious of the threat to Britain's early lead in
industrialisation from foreign competition. He supported free
trade, and believed that British industry needed a firm scientific
base in order to maintain its global position. Although his
posthumous reputation has been eclipsed by that of his
contemporaries, he was highly respected in his lifetime, receiving
a baronetcy in 1885 for his contribution to industry. This book was
first published in 1884 and deals with the economics of iron
production in Britain and abroad as well as the processes
themselves.
