Excerpt from The Coal-Fields of ScotlandIt is hoped that the information given may be found useful, not only to the student but also to those who are engaged in the practical work of developing our coal-fields.In preparing the book all available sources of informa tion have been freely utilized, including the publications of the Geological Survey and numerous papers in the trans actions of scientific societies. Many records of bores and mineral workings have been placed at my disposal by coal masters and others, and I have to express my indebtedness for the generosity with which information of this kind has been given. I have received vei'y few refusals to supply any information which would be of general interest and utility. I have also to express my indebtedness to the many friends who have assisted me by revising the de scriptions of the districts with which they were intimately associated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
