Description
This is not a review since I don't any longer have access to a copy of the 1960 edition, having retired as Head of the Minerals and Waste Planning Division of the former Department of the Environment and its successors through to DCLG. We used to have a well-worn "office copy". But as a general comment I don't think it is correct to describe the 1960 edition as the "first edition". There is evidence in the record, e.g. in an exchange in Parliamentary oral questions in 1952 between the then Minister for Housing and Local Government, Mr Harold Macmillan, and the MP for Kidderminster, Mr Gerald Nabbarro, that the first edition had been published by MHLG in 1951. Other citations, e.g. by the British Geological Survey in a fairly recent study of Brick Clay, confirm that. It would be very helpful to minerals consultants and researchers if an open source copy of either edition could be made available online.
