Mr. Samuel Salt, the head of the merchandise department 

 of the North-Eastern Division of the London and North-

 well known for his valuable statistical publications on com- 

 merce, has been so kind as to furnish to the society a return 

 of all the coal brought into Manchester by all conveyances, 

 viz., by road, rail, and water. Mr. Salt obtained his inform- 

 ation himself from various sources with very great care for all 

 the years hereunder mentioned, except those for 1834, 1836, 

 and 1840, which were from other sources.
