Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Geology and Mineralogy, a Short Course in Mining Science, Designed for the Student, Miner, Prospector and General Mining Man: Written, From the Standpoint of a Practical Field Man, Revised Edition
With the prospector's instinct for new fields and with a firm belief that a common school educa tion qualifies any one to understand basic principles of any science, when presented in common every day language, the well meant friendly advice had to go into the discard.
The occasion for a second edition should be conclusive evidence that the author's estimate of the ability of the average person was not wholly incorrect, as no work lacking in substantial merit can well have a renewed lease of life.
