In an article on the Shropshire lead mining in the 1943-4 issue of the Transactions of the Caradoc and Severn Valley Field Club is the reference 'Blunt in his paper of 1837'. Unfortunately there is no other clue as to who Blunt was or where his paper might be or have been. A T Blunt wrote on the Shropshire iron industry in 'The Analyst' in 1836 and may be the same man. If so his paper of 1837 does not appear to have been in the same journal.
Has anybody any ideas where I might find this paper?
