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.
