A Treatise on Ore and Stone Mining

Abstract

THIS book, when it first appeared in 1894, was the first systematic treatise on mining published in England, and was quite up to date; but later editions were not sufficiently revised, and the hand of death put an end to the gifted author's intentions of rewriting the work. The preparation of a new edition could not have been entrusted to more competent hands than those of his old colleague Mr. Bennett H. Brough. The general arrangement of the book is the same as in former editions, except that chapter xiv., “Principles of Employment of Mining Labour,” has become chapter xvii.
