Abstract
THE Fuel Research Board has issued as a Special Report (No. 2) a lecture on the above subject delivered by Prof. P. F. Purcell before the Royal Dublin Society last year. The importance of using the lower grade fuels has been greatly enhanced by the enormous rise in the price of our higher grade staple fuel, coal; and Sir George Beilby, in his intro ductory remarks to the Report, ascribes the revival of interest in peat as a fuel not only to the general scarcity of fuel, but also to the great and apparently permanent increase in the cost of coal.
