add to cart   close window

The article focuses on England's coal supply. The speculations a few years ago concerning the impending exhaustion of the coal supply of the British Isles have been revived by two important papers which were read at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, at Cardiff. The first paper was by researcher T. Foster Brown upon the present coal resources of the kingdom. The second is by professor Boyd Dawkins upon the discovery of new coalfields in southeastern England. According to Brown's estimates, there remain now but 16,000,000 tons of coal in the best and thickest seams existing at a moderate depth below the surface.
