Lupton's textbook on mine surveying includes the more advanced subjects of trigonometrical plotting, hypsometry, method of finding the true north, metalliferous mine surveying, and photographic surveying.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Mine Surveying I have taken for granted on the part of my readers an elementary knowledge of mathematics, such, for example, as would enable them to pass the second stage of the Science and Art Department's examination in that subject.

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Mine Engineering The Second Edition of "A Practical Treatise on Mine Engineering" is presented to the Public with far greater diffidence than was felt in presenting the first. The first Edition was an Abstract of a Course of Lectures delivered at the Newcastle-upon-Tyne College of Practical Science in the year 1852, in the preparation of which very little assistance of a practical character, on Mining subjects, was attainable in the English language; a ready excuse for deficiencies was, therefore, at hand; a more ready pardon for them demands a grateful acknowledgment. Sixteen years ago there were no Mining Institutes; or, perhaps, to speak more exactly, that which was first established was little more than a seed. Now, that they have taken root and flourished in the land, it may be said that the information contained in their volumes supersedes the necessity of this Second Edition; it may, however, it is thought, be fairly replied, that the present Treatise, not being intended to enter in detail into many of the matters treated of in the volumes referred to, will remain, as it was first intended to be, a Practical Book, written for the purpose, not only of instructing the beginner in the art of mining, but of aiding those who are more conversant with it, in the execution of mining work. It has frequently been the Author's gratification to hear that works have been laid out and executed in accordance with the recommendations contained in his book; and he wishes it to be understood that the instructions contained in it are intended to be such as may be safely followed with proper working results. This Edition will be found to be substantially similar to the first - that is, similar in object. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
