Tue first public notice of the importance of examining the 
mineral resources of New Hampshire is contained in a message 
of Governor Levi Woodbury to the legislature in 1823. He 
recommended the institution of an agricultural survey with a view 
to chemical analyses of the various kinds of soils. Had this 
recommendation been adopted, New Hampshire would have been 
the first of the United States to inaugurate a scientific survey 
of her mineral resources. 
The Furst Geological Survey.—In 1839, after earlier sugges- 
tions from the executive, the legislature passed an act to pro- 
vide for the geological and mineralogical survey of the state, 
appropriating for the purpose the sum of two thousand dollars 
annually for three years. Dr.C.T. Jackson, of Boston, received 
the appointment of geologist, and with several assistants con- 
ducted the work of the survey, and published the following 
reports: 
First Annual Report on the Geology of the State of New Hampshire, 8vo, 
164 pp., 1841. 
Second Annual Report on the Geology of the State of New Hampshire, 
8vo, 8 pp., 1842. 
Final Report on the Geology and Mineralogy of the State of New Hamp- 
shire, with contributions toward the improvement of Agriculture and Metal- 
lurgy, 4to, 378 pp., 11 plates, 1844. 
Views and Map of the Final Report, reprinted, 4to, 20 pp., 8 plates, 1845.
