Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history and development of mining in the northern part of Cornwall from the mid-18th century with a particular focus on St. Agnes. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including contemporary accounts, maps, and geological surve…ys, to piece together a detailed and informative account of the region's mining industry. The book explores the social, economic, and technological aspects of mining in St. Agnes, and examines the impact of the industry on the local environment, the Cornish economy, and Cornish society. The author argues that the decline of Cornish mining in the 19th century was due to a combination of factors, including the exhaustion of easily accessible ore deposits, the competition from foreign mines, and the lack of investment in new technology. Nonetheless, the book concludes by stressing the enduring legacy of mining in St. Agnes, and the importance of preserving the region's mining heritage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Physical description, [3] iv [1] vi - vii [1], [1] 2 - 303 [1], [3] 4 - 32, publishers catalogue (dated December 1, 1848.) Plates [1], tri-folding hand coloured frontispiece.

Light mustard yellow endpapers. Binders ticket of Remnant and Edwards on the rear pastedown, Overall, a near very good copy of a book which made important contributions to early photography. Robert Hunt (1808 - 1887) science writer and chemist, was born at Plymouth Dock, now Devonport in the county of Devon. He was educated in Penzance and Plymouth, then placed with a surgeon in London. ' Later he was appointed librarian and keeper of mining records at the Museum of Practical Geology and professor of mechanical engineering at the Royal School of Mines, London. He carried on numerous photographic and photochemical experiments and he was one of the founders of the London Photographic Society. The discovery by Robert Hunt (1844) that iron sulphate (vitriol) was suitable for the development of light pictures on iodide, bromide, and chloride of silver was of great importance for the future. It is well known that it was just this iron sulphate developer which brought 'wet collodion' photography, invented several years later, to such efficiency,' - (J.M. Eder, 'Hist. photography', 1945, pp. 325-326). He made the acquaintance of Sir J.F.W. Herschel ( 1792 - 1891 ) the astronomer who gave ' .kind and generous assistance, through every stage of these experimental inquiries' which he acknowledges in the final paragraph of the Preface. Hunt also wrote the first general treatise on photography - A Popular Treatise on the Art of Photography, Glasgow : R. Griffin and company, 1841.
