Excerpt from The Coming Race

In the year 18 happening to be in I was invited by a professional engineer, with whom I had made acquaintance, to visit the recesses of the mine, upon which he was employed.

The reader will understand, ere he close this narrative, my reason for concealing all clue to the district of which I write, and will perhaps thank me for refraining from any description that may tend to its discovery.
