The book provides detailed descriptions of the geology, mineralogy, and physical properties of the clays and shales found in the region, as well as their economic uses and potential for exploitation. Ries also discusses the methods and techniques used in the extraction, processing, and testing of these materials, and provides a historical overview of their use in industry and agriculture. The book is illustrated with maps, diagrams, and photographs, and is an important resource for geologists, engineers, and anyone interested in the natural resources of Virginia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
