Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glossary of Terms: Used in the Coal Trade of Northumberland and Durham The first edition of the "Glossary of Terms used in The Coal Trade of Northumberland and Durham," was published anonymously in 1849. The number of copies printed was limited, and was soon disposed of. A second edition, which was merely a reprint of the first, followed shortly afterwards; and it also soon became out of print. The Authorship of the "Glossary" was acknowledged by the writer in his preface to the first edition of "A Practical Treatise on Mine Engineering," which was published in 1855. It had for some time been in the mind of the Author to publish a third edition of the "Glossary." The appearance recently of a book having exactly the same title, has hastened the re-publication, particularly as it has, without any acknowledgment, and very largely indeed, drawn verbatim from the pages of the original. The present edition has been entirely re-written. The information contained in the first has been extended and added to; the same style has been observed, as it has been the wish of the Author to include in his book the records of how things were 50 years ago, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glossary of Mining and Metallurgical Terms The absence of a convenient glossary of terms connected with mining and metallurgy has long been felt by the general public. It is to meet this want, not to furnish a technical manual for experts, that the following glossary has been prepared. It originated in an attempt on my part to revise for publication the manuscript of a compilation prepared from the appendix of Yale's work on Mining Titles and one or two other sources, to serve as an appendix to a new work on mining law, about to be published by Mr. H. N. Copp, of Washington, D. C. This revision soon assumed, contrary to my original intention, the proportions of a reconstruction; and with the consent of Mr. Copp, and for the purpose of receiving from my fellow-members valuable aid, I presented my still incomplete work as a paper at the Lake Superior meeting of the Institute, inviting from any quarter suggestions of new terms or better definitions to be incorporated in the glossary before its final publication. This invitation was so widely and generously responded to, that I cannot undertake to make in this place individual acknowledgments to those members of the Institute, and professional colleagues outside of it, who have favored me with assistance and advice. The labor bestowed upon this paper since its presentation at the Lake Superior meeting has considerably exceeded that of its first preparation, as may be inferred from its great increase in length, as well as the numerous alterations which it has undergone. It could certainly be still further enlarged and improved; but I think a comparison of it with any of the glossaries of the same class now in print will show, at least, that it is an advance upon what has hitherto been accomplished. I shall be grateful, however, for further criticisms and suggestions; and I purpose at some future time to incorporate in a supplementary paper the results of such additional collections or corrections as I may obtain. To avoid too great prolixity, I adopted at the outset the following general principles: 1. To include the most important technical words and phrases used by American miners and metallurgists, or occurring in English books and periodicals.
