Description:Excerpt from A Handbook on the Winning and the Utilization of Peat Notwithstanding the many excellent journals and handbooks devoted to peat which have been published on the Continent, the author felt that a new edition of his book was required to serve as a guide for those who are interested in the winning and the utilization of peat in Germany. If this want were felt abroad, how much more so should it be experienced here, where no such journals or handbooks exist! No apology is therefore required for the publication of this translation of a work which has earned for itself a high reputation amongst German readers. The circumstance that the translation was carried out during the period of the late war, when collaboration between the trans lator and the author was impossible, may perhaps have led to an occasional misunderstanding, but these, if any, should be very few in number, since the translator has in all cases adhered as closely as possible to the letter and the spirit of the author's text. It may reasonably be expected that this edition will prove very useful to those about to engage in the development of our peat resources. The translator would like to point out, however, that the estimates for the cost of winning peat by the various methods here described should be accepted with great reserve. Fluctua tions in our labour market, uncertainty of our climate in com parison with that of Germany, and variations in the transport facilities for different localities, will greatly affect the cost of the product, which ought to be considered de novo in every particular case. In places where coal or lignite can be obtained at cheap rates, the replacement of these by peat as a fuel for household or indus trial purposes will not in general be remunerative. In peat districts remote from coal-mines, however, peat can be converted, in a commercially successful manner, into a fuel capable of replacing coal for all the purposes for which the latter is used.
