Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Testing and Working Silver Ores

Since writing the pamphlet, I have had five years experience and observation of the process therein described, and as my profit has consisted in part of the additional knowledge thus gained, I now propose to offer to the mining public, more and better information than is contained in that, or in Mr. Turner's piratical circular, adding also some information and suggestions in regard to other processes.

I do not write for students of science, nor to make a display of learning, which, for all the read' er would know, might or might not be all out of my own head. My aim is simply to contribute my quota to the diffusion of practical knowledge of some matters pertaining to the development of silver mining, and to make certain suggestions, of the value of which I leave the reader to judge.
