About the author
Cornelius Beringer is chiefly remembered as the co-author of A Text-book of Assaying, a detailed manual for people connected with mines. Surviving library and public-domain records consistently link him with that book, which was issued in several editions and became the work for which he is best known.
The book's tone is practical and instructional, focusing on the testing and analysis of ores and metals rather than abstract theory. That makes his work a good fit for listeners interested in the history of mining, metallurgy, and applied science.
Reliable biographical detail about his personal life is scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to present him mainly through his published work. He is regularly associated with John Jacob Beringer in library catalogs, public-domain editions, and audiobook listings.
