Excerpt from The Civil Engineer and Architects Journal: From October, 1837, to December, 1838

Mining has presented several novel features, of which the more remarkable have been the utilization of anthracite coal, the application of the hot blast, and the introduction of asphalte. Little more as yet has been done with regard to the employment of this latter, than laying down some experimental pavements, which appear to have worn well hitherto. As an aid to the progress of mining, we may instance the extension of schools for instruction in that branch, to which we shall have farther occasion to allude in a subsequent part of this review.
