Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, 1888: Contents and Index, Vols. 1 to 40 Inclusive All the references in this volume having been carefully verified, it is believed to be free from errors in that respect. In some other particulars, however, its imperfections must be frankly acknowl edged. Having been compiled from the index to Vols. I to X, published by the Institute five years ago, and the separate indexes of the several succeeding volumes, it is not constructed upon as thorough a system of classification as might have been followed with an entirely new work. The first ten volumes of the trans actions were not so minutely indexed as the later ones have been; nor were the same rules followed in the framing of titles, etc. The attempt to harmonize, in the present volume, the differences thus caused, has not been completely successful, partly because, under the method of publication necessitated, the sheets were put to press successively, after proof-reading, and were thus placed beyond the reach of further alterations. The principal practical result is, that in some cases, overlooked until too late, the references under a given title do not include everything which might with propriety have been placed under it. Thus, for example, the titles Lead Mines, Silver Mines and Silver-lead Mines are neither exhaustive, taken separately, nor perfectly distinguished. The student may need to look under all three, to be sure he has found everything pertinent to either. The same is true of Coal, Coal-basins.
