COAL The Cause of Englands Greatness
The future Greatness of The United States. During
a brief sojourn of that eminent geologist, Hugh
Miller, in England, he critically examined the
boniferous districts, especially the coal fields of
central England, to which she has for 80 many
years owed her fourishing trade. Its area, he re-
marks, Scarcely equals that of one of the Scot
fish lakes thirty miles long and eight broad :
yet how manysteam engines has it set in motion !?
How many railway trains has it propelled, and
how many millions Of tons of iron has it raised
to the surface, smelted, and hammered? 1t has
made Birmingham great city-the first iron
depot Of Europe" And if one small field has
done so much" he says, "what may we expect
from those vast basins laid down by Lyell in
the Geological map of the United States When
glanoing over the three huge coal fields of the
United States, each surrounded with its ring of
old red sand stone, called to mind the pro-
phecy of Berkeley, and thought could at
length see what he could not, the scheme of
its fulflment. He saw Persia resigning the
sccptre to Macedonia, Greece to Rome, and
Rome to Western Europe, which abuts on the
Atlantic. When America was covered with
forests, he anticipated an age when that coun-
try would occupy as prominent q place among
the nations rs had been occupied by Assyria
and Rome. Its enormous coal fields, some of
them equal in extent to all England, seem des-
tined to form no mean element in its greatness
If patch containing but a few square miles
has done 80 much for central England, what
may not fields, containing many hundred square
leagues, do for the United States ?"
