Book Glossary of Terms

Download or read book Glossary of Terms written by G. C. Greenwell and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book A Glossary of the Mining and Mineral Industry Classic Reprint

Download or read book A Glossary of the Mining and Mineral Industry Classic Reprint written by Albert H. Fay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of the Mining and Mineral Industry Because the demand for this glossary has been mounting steadily to the point where urgency is indicated, the Bureau of Mines has decided to republish the volume, which has been out of print for many years because the plates wore out from frequent use. In reprinting Fay's original work, it is recognized that new terms and expressions have come into the language; new usages have been applied to some of the old terms; and some of theold terms have become obsolete. The Bureau, therefore, will welcome and appreciate suggestions and comments from users of the glossary with respect to changes in definitions and explanations, as well as the inclusion of new words and phrases. It is hoped that, with their help, a new, revised, and improved glossary can be published at an early date.
