One hears a great deal of talk nowadays about the English Romantic Movement of the nineteenth century. It is called a "Revival", but many who do not know of what it is a revival still continue to regard the nineteenth century as the only preserve for tracking down romanticism. But there are other happy hunting-grounds in English literature for the romanticist-hunter. Romanticism is not an exotic on English soil, but a truly native growth. The poets of every century, except the eighteenth, have been eminently romantic, and whenever an attempt has been made to "guide the stream of poetry through …  Read more

The study of the weathering and slow combustion of coal together with the allied subject of spontaneous combustion has for many years been the object of the experiments of various investigators on both sides of the Atlantic. The reasons why these subjects have been given so much attention are well set forth in papers by Parr-Wheeler; J.B de Hart, and E.E. Billington, and need not be further commented upon here. Sufficit to say that they are of sufficient importance to warrant any amount of investigation, and that although a great deal of valuable work hae been done, especially in France …  Read more

Collieries, wherever they may be situated, are worked by methods which have much in common and the broad terms of "room and pillar" and "longwall" workings, suffice to classify and characterize a working in a general way whether it be a shaft, slope of tunnel mine, in the East or in the West, in the Old land or in the New. Whether the mine is worked "room and pillar" or "longwall" depends on the thickness, the inclination and the quality of the seam, the roof and the payement; the character of the surface and the intervening strata and other important …  Read more

"Il y a peu de Mémoires ecclésiastiques, et, dans le nombre, très peu qui soient intéressants." (1) Such is the way in which St. Beuve opens his essay on the Memoirs of the Abbe Legendre. A statement of this nature may hold good for the literature of France but surely St. Beuve could not have known the "mémoires ecclésiastiques" of English literature, especially those of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Sir Henry Bessemer's paper on "The Manufacture of Malleable Iron & Steel without Fuel", read before the British Association on August 11,1g56,and R. Mnshat's patent of September 221856, for the addition of Manganese to Bessemerized metal, introduced to the World, Steel, as we know it today. Bessemer made steel by blowing air through molten iron and therebyburning out from the latter it's Silicon, Carbon and Manganese, the heat of combustion of these elaments sufficing to maintain the metal in a suitably fluid condition. The process was conducted in an acid lined vessel and no phosphorus was removed. [...]  Read more
