Book excerpt: Excerpt from First-Fourth Report of the Geological Survey in Kentucky Made During the Years 1854 to 1859 Let it be forcibly impressed on the minds of my readers that this immense wealth was not amassed by speculation, but by legitimate earnings from a business producing an article of the greatest intrinsic value - a metal to which Great Britain ewes, perhaps, more than to any of her other numerous manufactured products, her national greatness and giving, at the same time, constant employment to whole towns of industrious inhabitants; the material, from which all this wealth was extracted, a mineral taken from the bowels of the earth, regarded for centuries as worthless.
