The A B C of mining; a handbook for prospectors ...

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION.

A steady demand for this work has shown that
it fills a want, and serves- the purpose for which it
was written. In issuing this second edition, a few
compositors' errors that had crept in, owing to the
author being in a very remote region while the
book was going through the press, have been corrected,
but no material changes in the text were found desirable.
