Excerpt from Manual of Coal and Its Topography: Illustrated by Original Drawings, Chiefly of Facts in the Geology of the Appalachian Region of the United States of North America In explanation, it is necessary only to add, that the sketches were all made upon the ground and drawn on wood by the author, to pre serve with accuracy those points of interest to his own mind which he desires to illustrate in the text, and upon this their whole value as illustrations of truth depends; as works of art they are nothing.

With these exceptions, he believes his book to be free from actual plagiarisms.

He finds it of course impossible to do justice to this interchange of thought and Work; but Wherever important contributions to science could be iden tified with those who made them, he has done it, and for the rest can only thank friends of the past and present time in general but respect ful and affectionate terms.
