Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industries of Russia Therefore, case and gender endings, particularly of adjectives, have been dropped. To illustrate, the very common adjective terminations, ckoü, cnan, ckoe (skoi, skaTa, skole), used to designate the genders, have been shorn of their final vowels, and the reader will consequently find such expressions as the Dombrovsk Mining School, instead of the varying forms, Dombroffsky, Bombrqfsky, Dombrowski, Bombrovskt, or DombrovskaU Mining School. However, such proper names as have become fixed with any degree of uniformity in English books have been retained in their familiar dress, although the orthography be erroneous, as Kirghiz for Kirgiz, and Ural mountains for Ural mountains. In this connection I wish to call attention to the list of errors to be found at the end of this work, and to say, as in the Preface to Manufactures and Trade of Russia of this series of volumes, that this translation has been made in very great haste, and that the typographical work has been done by casemen unfamiliar with the English language, thus making it extremely difficult to avoid errors. In this instance, however, the more important mistakes of this kind, especially such as were apt to be misleading, have been corrected in the table of Errata at the close of the volume. In presenting this translation of the Mining and Metallurgy of Russia to the visitors of the Worlds Columbian Exposition at Chicago, I feel confident that the authentic information contained in these pages will be of practical value to those who are interested in the great mining industries of the United States; and it was in this conviction that I accepted the labour of this Edition.
