Johssos on Am<rieaw and Fmsigs Coal.
We have Just received from the publishers. Taylor &
Msury, booksellers Of this city, copy OF johnson on
American and Foreign Goals.
The importance of the subject OF this work to those
who take interest in the coal coal trade OF the Uni
ted States will be apparent from glance at its contents.
II presents. in the first place, succnct account Of the
coal mines and coal trade OF New Brunswick and Nova
Scoa-the latter Of which s the principal whence
Goals imported into the United States. and gives COM
parsons Of value between the Goals OF those provinces
and the anthracites of Pennsylvania.
II next proceeds comparison OF experiments to test
the composition and heating power Of American and for
egn GOALS including the report of the British commission
the Goals Of Wales, England Scotland, and Ire
land accompanied by remarks and tabular statements by
the author showing the economical values OF the numer
varieties Of coal operated on, the laws OF heating
power deducibe both from the American report BY Pro-
lessor and from the British report by Messrs De Ia
Beche Playfair and demonstrating the close agreement
Of results obtained when Goals Of similar constitution
were tested whether at Washington or London.
We next come to researches by the author con the
constitution properties, and values OF GOALS and recent
investigation relative to American and foreign Goals
Under this last head find very interesting account
of the coal field Of North Carolina, together with analy-
of the several Minerals ranging through highly btu

bagos and plumbaginous shales.
The volume closes with practical hints for the selec
ton Of Goals for domestic and other uses We cannot
too highly commend this word to the attention Of our
