Overview

Excerpt from Engineering Geology IN the execution of engineering works, however scien tific in design and clever in workmanship, failure has frequently usurped the place of success, because due attention has not been paid to geological phenomena. Numberless instances might be quoted in proof of this proposition, whilst it is notorious that vast sums' of money have been thrown away in mining speculations which would at once have been characterised as hope less by anyone possessing the slightest acquaintance with the science Of Geology. A late eminent authority (professor J ukes) has stated his belief that the amount Of money fruitlessly expended in a ridiculous search after coal, even within his own experience, would have paid the entire cost of the Government Geological Survey of the United Kingdom.
