The instructions are a little dated, with the the units of measurement being pounds and ounces and the lack of safety instruction for the chemicals, but even if you are not going to do electroplating, the book still provides an interesting insight into how things were once done.

Electro-Deposition; Electric Current; Definitions of Terms; Sources of Current; Silver and Gold Plating; Nickel Plating; Copper Deposition and Plating; Electrotyping; Polishing.
