Excerpt from The Phosphates of America: Where and How They Occur; How They Are, Mined; And What They Cost, With Practical Treatises on the Manufacture of Sulphuric Acid, Acid Phosphate, Phosphoric Acid, and Concentrated Superphosphates, and Selected Methods of Chemical Analysis The self-explanatory title of the book enables me to dispense with a lengthy introduction, nor, if I were to write one, could I add anything to what I have endeavored to say in its pages. It embodies many facts, figures and suggestions resulting from long observation and an extremely varied practical experience; and while these are designed for the exclusive use of specialists, I trust that, taken altogether, it will prove highly profitable reading to all those numerous classes directly or indirectly interested in the production, manufacture, sale and consumption of commercial fertilizers. I have endeavored to couch it in common, every-day language, and have avoided as far as possible all unnecessary chemical formulae and technical terms. In a word, my aim and ambition have been to make it intelligible and useful to the ordinary careful reader, and if I have partially succeeded in this, I shall be more than repaid for the labor it has cost me.
