Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin and Rationale of Colliery Explosions: Founded Upon an Examination of the Explosions at the Timsbury, Albion, Malago Vale, and Llanerch Collieries
The subject of Colliery Explosions again commands public attention, and proposals have been recently advanced, for strengthening the statutory regulations for the direction and discipline Of Mines. The cause of these calamities has been sought with persistence and assiduity: and evidences have been accumulating for an examination of the respective theories of fire-damp and coal-dust, as the principal agents in Colliery Explosions.
