Pamphlet, 8vo, folding map and charts, 24 pp.Two small holes in the margin of the pamphlet, not affecting text or charts, covers show some minor soiling, some aging and foxing throughout, 1 1/2 inch piece missing from upper margin of the folding map, not affecting image; otherwise very good. Interesting early railroad piece that documents the coal trade in Pennsylvannia. Includes a folding map that illustrates the anthracite and bituminous coal fields and the canals and railroads that take that coal to market. The pamphlet also includes three other foldout charts. Contains a lot of statistics on the coal trade, including the quality of the coal. A rather scarce title.
