About This Item
New York: School of Mines Quarterly, 1881. Very good overall. Reprinted from The School of Mines Quarterly. Author John Strong Newberry wrote this paper while Chair of geology and paleontology in the School of Mines, Columbia College (now Columbia University). The paper discusses the geological placement of gold.
At Columbia, Newberry created a museum of over 100,000 specimens, principally collected by himself, which served to illustrate his lectures in paleontology and economic geology. At that time, it contained the best representations of the mineral resources of the United States to be found anywhere, as well as many unique and remarkable fossils. (Wikipedia).

Trowbridge was a professor of civil engineering, one of the most important in the field of bridge building, including the cantilever bridge for the Niagara Rapids. OCLC 31830888 records 3 copies.
