Excerpt from The Rio Tinto Mine, Its History and Romance It is with genuine and deep-seated diffidence that I have elected to publish the records, existing at present only in Spain, concerning the famous Rio Tinto Mine. As a literary task it should manifestly have been undertaken by a more competent authority, but on considering the substantial interest the locality has had for so long a period for so many of our countrymen, and, too, that the subject matter is important enough in itself to entitle it to be established on record in this form - and its lengthy history so preserved to us - I have determined upon its publication. The reader will, I sincerely trust, very generously overlook all the many defects and errors committed by me in its compilation, and admit some justification for the effort, and, in that manner, condone my failure to make it such a success as, in my humble opinion, the matter itself has deserved.
