Report on the Mining Methods and Appliances Used in the Anthracite Coal Fields (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Report on the Mining Methods and Appliances Used in the Anthracite Coal Fields

Good wine needs no bush, and a book like this needs no praise - its utility will manifest itself. But I embrace this opportunity to say, that the value of this Report should be credited wholly to Dr. Chance; who comprehended its scope at the outset, devised its plan, executed it himself, designed the illustrations, edited his manuscript in press, and prepared his own lists and indexes without assistance. The book is therefore entirely his own Which I now sub mit for your approval, and remain, sir.
