Engineer's Valuing Assistant: Being a Practical Treatise on the Valuation of Collieries and Other Mines with Rules, Formula, and Examples (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Engineer's Valuing Assistant: Being a Practical Treatise on the Valuation of Collieries and Other Mines With Rules, Formula, and Examples

Soon after the first edition of this work appeared in I 877, copies of it became so scarce that suggestions were frequently made to the author to publish a new edition of it; but, at that time, important professional duties and undertakings led him to foreign countries, including the Argentine Republic, in the latter of which he has had the honour of occupying the position of Chief Advising and Acting Mining Engineer to the National Government for over a period of I 8 years. The onerous duties of that omoe, and other matters connected therewith, absorbed the whole attention of the author, and it is only recently that he has been able to prepare a second edition of his Engineer's Valuing Assistant for the press.
