 : article on new method of iron production

'Lady Charlotte stopped a few days with friends near Winchester, and while there her husband read in The Times '"[...] of a wonderful discovery in the manufacture of iron, made by one Mr. Bessemer, who, by an application of cold blast to pig iron, converts it into material of the quality of wrought iron, without using any fuel, thus superseding puddling etc. Charley was quite excited about it, and read the account aloud to me before we set out on the afternoon walk."'
