This book follows the Freiberg mines and its Royal School of Mines from its founding in 1475 to the early 1900s, focusing on its evolution from a small regional mining center to one of the most important mining academies and industrial regions in the world. It discusses the technological advancements in mining and ore processing developed at Freiberg, such as hydrothermal theories and advancements in ore dressing, and its impact on the development of the mining industry across the globe. The author, an American student who attended Freiberg in the 1870s, provides a unique insider's perspective on the institution and industry during its heyday, noting both the benefits and drawbacks of Freiberg's highly structured and regimented educational system.
