Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the geological features and locations of the six conglomerate beds that make up the majority of gold mines in South Africa. The conglomerates are described in order of their locations from the north, and contain varying distances between them. This descriptive section is followed by a discourse on dislocations and interruptions which have occurred in the mining areas, but also details the methods of extraction that were being employed at the time of its writing. The author particularly emphasizes the high level of the extraction rate, at around 99%, but goes on to describe methods in which the process could be improved, especially by reducing the amount of waste rock sent to mill for processing. Calculations are made to demonstrate the improved results to be obtained from double processing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

The coat of arms, in red, black, yellow and blue, is carefully painted directly onto a 22 x 18 cm leaf removed from album. In fair condiion, on aged paper, with chipping and a small closed tear at foot affecting the motto ('VIRTUTIS FORTUNA COMES'). Above the motto is the quarterly coat of Wellesley and Colley, with a coronet above it, topped by the crest. Laid down in the top left-hand corner of the page is the 7.5 x 5.5cm photographic print of the engraving from a daguerreotype by Claudet, showing a seated Wellington, facing to his left, with his left hand curled round the arm rest of his chair. In fair condition, with slight wear to edges. This image is not present in the National Portrait Gallery collection, which does have a mezzotint version, published 1 May 1845, showing only Wellington's head and shoulders, said to be 'by Henry Thomas Ryall, published by James Watson, published by Goupil & Vibert, after Abraham Solomon, after Antoine Claudet'. Claudet's original photograph, taken in 1844, faced the other way, and again did not show hands and chair. In top right-hand corner of page, in contemporary hand: 'Master General of the Ordnance 1818. | Lord Warden of Cinque Ports. | Commander in Chief 1848. | First Lord of Treasury 1827 & 34 | Foreign Secretary in 1834.' Laid down on the reverse of the page is an engraving of the poet Thomas Haynes Bayley (1797-1839). See Image.
