Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Manchester Geological Society, Vol. 5: Part XVII; Session 1865-66
In most things with which we have to do, or require, the stock is kept up, and our wants supplied by a reproduction of those necessaries, as food, raiment, &c. Fortunately or unfortunately, such is not the case with our mineral wealth, for no amount of labour would reproduce a once exhausted seam of coal. This being the case, we are, in duty to future generations, and interest to ourselves and successors, bound to produce all and every part we attempt in the most cleanly and valuable condition possible. I may be considered bold, when I say that a large portion of our coal is not cleanly worked, nor is that that is worked or got, in a very many instances, produced in the most valuable condition.
