Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, Vol. 1: May, 1871, to February, 1873 The present volume contains the rules of the Institute, a list of members and associates, an abstract of the proceedings of the first two years, and a number of papers selected from those proceedings. There is, therefore, nothing new in it. The papers have all been published, according to the custom of the Institute, in the Engineering and Mining Journal, and many of them have been copied into other periodicals. They are republished here, solely to enable members and associates to preserve them in convenient form. Various considerations have determined the selection of papers for this purpose. Some have been omitted at the request of the authors, who, having modified the views expressed in them, naturally deprecated a republication of those views. Others have been omitted, in order not to devote too large a proportion of space to single topics, or single branches of mining or metallurgy, in view of the fact that the membership of the Institute extends throughout the whole country, and represents numerous departments of these industries. Some, on the other hand, have been chosen, although not laying claim to special originality, because they contained information of importance, not easily accessible elsewhere, the presentation of which, in a form convenient for reference, was generally desired. Under this head may be mentioned the translation by Professor Prime, of Akerman's treatise on the Consumption of Heat in the Blast Furnace, a contribution not less valuable to the Institute than an original essay.
