5200 |a"The intention of the Director of the Mines Branch (Dr. Eugene Haanel), as expressed in his verbal instructions to the writer is, to issue a series of reports on the Building and Ornamental Stones of Canada. Each report is to deal with a certain section of the country, and they are to appear yearly, until, practically, all the commercial stones now being quarried in the Dominion have been described. The investigation orders were, that the report should be of a strictly economic character; geological and scientific information being introduced only when necessary for a clear understanding of the practical problems presented; hence it is to be distinctly understood that the work is not intended for the professional geologist, but rather as a summary of Canada's resources in building stone, and as a guide for the builder and quarry operator."--Author's Preface, Vol. I.
