1793003158Dublin: P. Byrne Grafton-Street 1793. First Edition full calf red label with gilt titles to spine. Calf rubbed front and rear boards moderate foxing throughout page block. prior owners names front endpages and title page front hinge just starting to separate. Contents are unmarked. One of the prior owners whose name is handwritten 3 times is "Alfred Balch Nashville". Balch was a close personal friend and neighboring plantation owner to President Andrew Jackson. He was a practicing lawyer in Nashville and eventually became head of the Nashville Bar Association. During Andrew Jackson's presidency Balch was appointed to the role of Commissioner of Indian Treaties. During this time he would be active in trying to resolve issues the Creek and Seminole tribes had with the United States government and may have helped resolve the Second Seminole War. Later in 1840 during the presidency of Martin Van Buren Jackson would pressure his former vice president to appoint Balch to the role of United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida where he would serve as a Florida District Judge for only one year. In 1835 letters appear between Alfred Balch and Andrew Jackson suggesting a level of comfort that only friends would have with one another. In one letter Jackson seems to write angrily about a secret conspiracy to undermine his chosen successor Martin Van Buren. What evidence there is seems to suggest a very close relationship between Andrew Jackson and Alfred Balch.Balchepedia; the Encyclopedia of Balch History.

Many pages are devoted to the reports of various geologists all pointing to the conclusion that "there is no coal field in Pennsylvania more deserving of attention than this one its proximity to the lakes its location above the water and its horizontal position admits of it being mined with the greatest facility and at the most reasonable expense and if the shales and cannel coal in the interior of the basin should confirm the theories of geologists respecting the existence of a large amount of lubricating oils and volatile matter contained in them the value of this coal basin is beyond all computation." A final section focuses on markets for coal and relevant transportation networks and reminds the reader that "where coal is there wealth attends."
