COAL AND ITS SCIENTIFIC USES (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Coal and Its Scientific UsesI have endeavoured in this monograph to give in essential outline an account of the present state of science and practice in relation to Coal and its various Uses.In consenting to undertake the task I was conscious, on the one hand, that SO wide and important a subject could hardly be treated adequately by any one writer in a volume of such moderate dimensions as this present. On the other hand, I felt that, in the national interest, there was great need for some responsible scientific worker in Fuel Technology to review the various aspects of the Coal Question as it stands today. And as much new information had come to my knowledge as Chairman Of the British Association Fuel Economy Committee in 1915 - 17, it was hardly possible for me not to accede to the Editors request.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
