About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Bristol County and Rhode Island Coed. 187 Numerous experiments were made a few years ago, and are detailed in the eleventh volume of the American Journal of Science, by Mr. Bull of Philadelphia, and Professor Silliman of Yale College, to determine the comparative value of the Rhode Island and Pennsylvania anthracite: and the fair conclusion from all their experiments is, that the former is not much inferior to the latter...
