On bitumens, oil shales, and oil coals [PDF]
Mr Taylor stated, that of late years we had gained some knowledge on the general subject of what coals and shales were. We were not now in the position we were in fifteen or twenty years ago, when fourteen scientific witnesses went before a very venerable court and said that a certain substance was Coal, while as many on the other side said it was not.
