Riassunto

Excerpt from Index of Mining Engineering Literature: Comprising an Index of Mining, Metallurgical, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering Subjects as Related to Mining Engineering

The present volume, known as an Index of Mining Engineering Literature, will be found useful for all engineering professions, but especially to mining and metallurgical engineers and educators. It consists of a complete and carefully made index of eighteen engineer ing publications: journals, transactions and proceedings of societies, etc., which have in large part been cross-referenced, thus rendering valuable assistance to the reader in acquiring information not given in a general index, and which would not otherwise be accessible except through much tedious and painstaking research and extensive reading.

The work has grown out of the personal needs of the author in both educational and professional work. From a small number Of selected references it has grown to such an extent, and has proven of such practical value that it was deemed advisable to publish it and thus place it within reach of members Of the engineering professions. It represents the unaided labor of the author for a period of about five years, during which time he was actively engaged with other duties. Any errors that may occur are, therefore, due to his oversight and are not chargeable to others. The method of writing the references has changed from time to time as a result of experience in the work, and the use to which they have been put, which will explain why certain information is given in one instance and not in another. At the beginning of the work, the number of pages or columns, also the illustrations, were not considered of importance, and consequently were not given, and similarly with other minor points. Further, it will occasionally occur that the page as given will not be exact, which is due in large part to calculating backward, hastily, after ascertaining the number of pages or columns in the article, and in a similar manner the length may have been miscalculated by a page, column or a frac tion of either. The author will consider it a favor if his attention is called to errors, in order that they may be corrected.
