Book Description

Excerpt from Bibliography of the Geology and Mineralogy of Tin Anonymous articles are listed under "Anon." which takes its place in the alphabetic sequence. Where more than one article occurs under "Anon." they are arranged chronologically. Where deposits in a number of countries are treated in one article, the title is placed under the heading "General." Works treating preponderantly of the extraction, handling, and reduction of tin ores are placed under "Mining and Milling" and "Metallurgy." The lists given under these subjects are not published with the idea that they are complete and no effort has been made to make them so, but as important articles were met, it seemed best to note them, in the hope that even an incomplete list might be of use to many persons who desire only a certain amount of general knowledge upon the subject. The lists may serve, also, as a nucleus for some who wish to pursue the subject further. Headings other than "General" and names of countries form a second alphabetic list which follows the list of countries. In the geological portion of the bibliography it is believed that no important paper upon tin appearing up to the middle of 1908 has been omitted. Following this prefatory note will be found the abbreviations used for journals referred to in the work. The bibliography is classified as follows: I, By Countries; II, General; III, History; IV, Metallurgy and Chemistry; V, Mineralogy; VI, Mining and Milling; VII, Statistics. It is thought that the exhaustive index prepared by Mr. Lancaster D. Burling will supplement the arrangement of articles under countries and make the finding of particular papers comparatively easy.
