The Practical Miner's Guide

Excerpt from The Practical Miner's Guide: Comprising a Set of Trigonometrical Tables Adapted to All Purposes of Oblique or Diagonal, Vertical, Horizontal, and Traverse Dialling By inserting this defectibility of our predecessors, we have no other design than of cautioning our mining countrymen to guard against the too pre valent propensity of rejecting any new system, merely because it is new, or its utility not dis cerned at first sight; and to induce them to give the subject an impartial investigation, before they pass a conclusive judgment thereon.
