About the author
Cornelius Beringer is known chiefly for A Text-book of Assaying, written with John Jacob Beringer. The book was published in multiple editions and was aimed at people connected with mines, offering a systematic guide to testing ores and other mineral materials.
Available catalog and public-domain records consistently link him with that influential handbook, and one library source describes both Cornelius and John Jacob Beringer as metallurgists. While detailed biographical information about Cornelius Beringer is scarce in the sources I could confirm, his surviving work suggests a strong practical interest in metallurgy, laboratory method, and the commercial value of mined substances.
Because reliable personal details are limited, he is best introduced through the book that preserved his name: a technical manual valued for its clear, usable approach to assaying and mineral analysis.
