Excerpt from The Iron Ores of Great Britain and Ireland: With Mode of Occurrence, Age, and Origin and the Methods of Searching for and Working Them, With a Notice of Some of the Iron Ores of Spain
The object I have had in mind in producing this book has been to give a systematic and careful account of our present knowledge of the origin and occurrence of the Iron Ores of Great Britain, and of the means of reaching and working such ores. I have given also a brief account of the early working of the ores in this country. A considerable amount of practical information is introduced with reference to some of the more important ores of Spain. A book covering this ground will, I conceive, meet a very great want - a point which will surely not need urging in view of the vast importance of our Iron industries, and of the fact that the published information of the last thirty years, relating to the Ores of that metal, can only be found by a laborious search through the "Transactions" of a number of scientific bodies; while even then it is only an imperfect and interrupted view of the subject which is obtainable.
