fynonymous, and mean coals-dug out ofa 
pir, or from the eartb. But the Lithanthrax 
denotes Stone-coal, and more properly in- 
dicates the Cannel-coal. — The Cam‘ 'el-coal 
is ofa dull black colour; breakes eafely in 
any direction; contains a confiderable quan. 
tity of-petrol, ima lefs denfer ftate than 
other coals; burns with a bright livelyflame, 
but is very apt to fly in pieces in theffire; 
it is faid, however, to be entirely deprived 
of this property by being previoufly immer-

kind of coai that (mall vafes, as ink - ftands, 
various trinkets, and other curiofities, are 
made in England, which appear as if made 
of the fineft jet. — The Kilkenng - coaf 
contains the largelt proportion of Petrol or 
Alpnaltum; burns wirh lefs flame and fmoke, 
and more llowly, though intenfely, than 
the Cannel-coal; it is found in the county 
of Kilkenny, belonging to the province of 
Leinfter, in Ireland. — That kind of coal, 
diftinguifked in London by the name of 
Scotch-coals, produce, when burned, white 
alhes and a lefs dirty duft than the common 
Newcaflle -coals. — LCaking-coals and Culm 
are varieties ofthe Stone.coal; Cakıng-coals 
conüift ofthofe coals, that, in burning, fhew 
a beginning to melt, fo far that their fmalleft 
pieces run together, and unite by the adhe- 
fion of their furfaces; Cu/m do not fufe, 
unite, nor cake by the application of heat, 
but retain their original form, and keep in 
detached pieces in the midft of fire. But it 
feems that coal-merchants are now in the 
cuftom of calling Culm the powdry rubbifh 
or drofs of any fort of coal’ for making 
lime, or baking bricks &c. — Pit- or Stone- 
coals burned and reduced to a true charry 
ftate are called Coaks or Cinders, which are 
capable of exeiting the moft intenfe heat. and 
are employed in the fmelting of copper, iron 
. and other metallic ores to the greateft advan- 
tage. — The leaft inflammable kinds are 
thofe known by the name of Melfh coal, 
which is found in Wales, Äillkenny coal, and 
blind or draf coal, which .is found in many 
parts of Scotland and England. The open 
burning coal foon kindles, making a hot 
pleafant fire, but is foon confumed; of this 
kind is Cannel-cool, et, Parrot, Splint and 
moft cf the coals in Scotland. The rlofe 
burmng coal kindles very qnickly, makes & 
very hot fire, melts and runs together like 
bitumen &c.; of this kind are the Newcafile 
and feveral other of the Englif coals, and 
the /mitliy coals of Scotland. — In pkaces, 
whither coal is brought by fea, it is called 
Sea-coel. — The ftrata or veins of coals 
are numerous, and their order, gnality &e. 
are very different in different places. In 
thofe at Dudley, in Staffordfhire, the ftrata, 
below the turf, are two or three clays, a 
grey ftone, and a hard grey rock; then . 
they are exprefied to be: 1) Coal, called 
Beuch-coal; 2) Slipper-coal, lefs black, and
