Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incidents in the Life of a Mining Engineer My aim in this book is as modest as my method is informal. I have often been asked to publish my "Reminiscences," but have refrained from attempting the task, rather from diffidence as to my literary powers than from lack of interesting incident or useful experience. My present decision to put together in consecutive order a certain number of those incidents and experiences, is not to be mistaken as an endeavour to compile a conventional volume of reminiscences. I am fully aware that my book will rely for its value on its matter, not on its manner. There is plenty of daily matter in the life of a mining engineer, and I have had my full share of adventure in many lands. But I doubt if I should have been induced to make a book out of my own life, except in the hope of helping the noble work of the St. Dunstan's Hostel for Blinded Soldiers and Sailors, to whose funds it will be my privilege to contribute all the sale-proceeds of the first edition of this volume. My object is to assist our blinded heroes, and if some invalid soldiers derive an hour's relaxation from these pages, I shall be amply rewarded for the many hours which I have given to the writing of them. The informal character of the book, which has been written from diaries and letters, seems to render it inappropriate to refer otherwise than casually to many friends and companions of former days; and for the same reason I have avoided set descriptions of the countries which I have visited, or of the mines and the many technical problems connected therewith that make the profession of a mining engineer so interesting.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Accidents in Mines: Their Causes and Prevention I have endeavoured, by collecting all the informa tion into one volume, to bring before the public, as seen by those who are engaged professionally as mining engineers, the subject of the number of lives lost in working coal, and the sources of accident which might be prevented. It may be fairly asked (1) whether the principles of Davy's lamp hold good when the atmospheric pressure is as great as it is in the deep coal mines; and (2) what effect the vibrating waves of sound may have on the flame within the lamp when the Mp is surrounded by an explosive mixture of gas.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parkin Jeffcock, Civil and Mining Engineer: A Memoir The fact that the Memoir is published while most of the persons incidentally mentioned in it are alive, has made the compilation a matter of some delicacy. I hope, however, that I shall not have wounded the feelings of any by what I have detailed; while I can sincerely say that the truth with regard to the subject of the Memoir has not been knowingly kept back in any material respect. The authority on which my statements rest, and especially those which might appear too eulogistic, if they came only from a brother's pen, has, generally, been specified in its proper place. I beg to thank the authors of those letters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camerton Slope: A Story of Mining Life HE writer of the following pages was reared in a mining community, and at an early age entered the mines as a driver. What is re corded in these chapters may serve as the token of his abiding sympathy and true, brotherly feeling for all who toil in any capacity in the darkness and danger of underground life. After a somewhat extended acquaintance with men in various departments of life and labor, the author wishes here to record the fact that he has found no more genial and lasting friendships, no truer, sturdier types of manhood, no loftier ideals of pure Christian character, than among his chums and associates of auld lang syne.
