A discovery of subterranean treasure, viz. all manner of mines & minerals, from the gold to the coal, with plain directions and rules for finding them in all kingdoms and countries. Also the art of melting, refining and assaying them made plain and easy ... To which is added a real experiment, to try whether a piece of gold be true or counterfeit ... Also a sure way to try what colour any berry, leaf, flower, stalk, root, fruit, seed, bark or wood will give: together with directions for making colours that shall not stain nor fade. Very necessary for everyone to know, whether he be a traveller by land or sea, or in what country, dominion, or plantation soever he may inhabit. By Mr. Gabriel Plattes.
