Excerpt from The Industrial Resources of the District of the Three Northern Rivers, the Tyne, Wear, and Tees: Including the Reports on the Local Manufactures, Read Before the British Association, in 1863Few persons are aware of the importance of these manufactures to a locality which supplies the raw materials at a small cost, but where, by the union of scientific knowledge and manual labour, they are worked up into forms of greatly increased value and of almost universal application. It has been said, that for every 100 tons of Chemicals manufactured, employment is given to 250 tons of Shipping, and support to 30 or 40 individuals, whilst 250 tons of coal are consumed in their production. This district is a large exporting locality, and the imports of sulphur ores, salt, chalk, manganese, timber, &c., , for the use of the chemical manufactures, assists in cheapening both inward and outward freights.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
