" We must concede to Mr. Redwood the distinction of having produced a 

 treatise which must be admitted to the rank of THE INDISPENSABLES. It con- 

 tains THE LAST WORD that can be said about Petroleum in any of its SCIENTIFIC, 

 TECHNICAL, and LEGAL aspects. It would be difficult to conceive of a more 

 comprehensive and explicit account of the geological conditions associated with 

 the SUPPLY of Petroleum and the very practical question of its AMOUNT and 

 DURATION." Journal of Gas Lighting.
