Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Treasures of the Earth: Or, Mines, Minerals, and Metals When Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, wished to descend into the copper mines at Falun, his courtiers begged him not to risk his life. "A king," he replied, "is not worth a straw, who does not look into his treasury." On arriving at a freshly-hewn chamber, where the copper ore shone bright and glittering, he exclaimed, "What should such a potentate be who possesses a palace like this!" These were the wise words of a great monarch who could appreciate the bounty of Providence in storing up the "treasures of the earth" for the welfare of his people. I have endeavoured, in the following pages, to blend amusement with instruction, and thus initiate the youthful reader into the mysteries of mining; for to many persons, irrespective of age, such pursuits have this character. The subject is interesting from every point of view, especially when we consider that upon our mining resources, and the progress of our manufactures, depends, in a great measure, the commercial superiority of our country. In relating visits to mines, the treatment of metals and minerals, and the various uses to which they are applied, I have avoided, as much as possible, all technicalities, or I have simplified them so as to be readily understood by the uninformed reader.

Would the world be a better place if human societies were somehow able to curb their desires for material goods? Saleem Ali's pioneering book links human wants and needs by providing a natural history of consumption and materialism with scientific detail and humanistic nuance. It argues that simply disavowing consumption of materials is not likely to help in planning for a resource-scarce future, given global inequality, development imperatives, and our goals for a democratic global society. Rather than suppress the creativity and desire to discover that is often embedded in the exploration and production of material goods--which he calls the treasure impulse--Ali proposes a new environmental paradigm, one that accepts our need to consume treasure for cultural and developmental reasons, but warns of our concomitant need to conserve. In evaluating the impact of treasure consumption on resource-rich countries, he argues that there is a way to consume responsibly and alleviate global poverty.
