Excerpt from The Geology of Ore Deposits
The economic aspect of geology is yearly receiving more attention in our great educational centres, and the books of this series are designed in the first place for students of economic geology. It is believed, however, that they will be found useful to the student of general geology, and also to miners, surveyors, and others who are concerned with the practical applications of the science.
'The Geology of Coal and Coal-Mining,' by Dr. Walcot Gibson, the first of this series of works on economic geology undertaken by experienced geologists, has already appeared. The present work will shortly be succeeded by others, dealing with the geology of quarrying, water-supply, and precious stones.
The Authors of this book have wide geological and mineralogical knowledge, a practical acquaintance with metalliferous areas, and an exceptional knowledge of the very extensive literature of the subject. This has enabled them to embody the important results obtained of recent years, which have added so largely to our understanding of the ways in which ores occur, and of the conditions under which they have been formed.
