Excerpt from The Geology of the Leicestershire Coalfield and of the Country Around Ashby-De-La-Zouch
Before commencing the following observations, it is with pleasure I record the assistance received in carrying out the Geological Survey in the district of Ashby-de-la Zouch. And first, my thanks are due to the Rev. W. H. Coleman, who for several years had been an accurate observer, and had tabulated a large amount of statistical information concerning the geology of the neighbourhood. Mr. Coleman, in the handsomest manner, placed the whole at my disposal, and also rendered me much per sonal assistance; and it is but due to my friend to state that he had mastered the geological structure of the greater portion of the area included in the following remarks, before the Government Surveyors commenced their labours.
I have also to record the readiness with which, in the great majority of cases, the proprietors or agents of the collieries allowed me to inspect the plans and sections, and, when necessary, visit the mines. Amongst these I may specially mention Mr. Woodhouse, of Overseal; Mr. Edward Green, of Charnwood Lodge; and Mr. John Browne, formerly assistant to Mr. Woodhouse. The ser vices of many other gentlemen are acknowledged in the foot-notes in their proper places.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed examination of the geological formations of the Ashby-de-la-Zouch coalfield in Leicestershire, England. The author meticulously describes the various strata, from the ancient Cambrian rocks of Charnwood Forest to the Carboniferous Limestone and the Coal Measures, providing a comprehensive overview of the region's geological history. The book's focus on the coalfield is particularly interesting given the vital role coal played in the Industrial Revolution. The author delves into the intricacies of the coal seams, their composition, and their economic significance, while also exploring the challenges of extracting coal in this region, including the presence of faults and the varying quality of coal within different seams. The author's observations are particularly insightful when considering the geological conditions that influenced the formation of this coalfield. The book, therefore, provides a valuable resource for understanding the geological processes that shaped this significant area of England and contributed to its industrial development.
