Book Description

Excerpt from A Rudimentary Treatise on Coal and Coal Mining Finally, whilst I would refer the student for ampler details to the treatises of M. Combes, M. Ponson, and M. Burat, Mr. Dunn, Mr. Greenwell, Mr. Hedley, and to other works mentioned in my text, I trust that this little introduction to Coal-mining bears internal evidence of not being mere extract of books, and that - whilst intended mainly to convey sound informa tion to the unpractised - it may, nevertheless, contain matter of interest for viewers and overmen, to a long list of whom I have to express my thanks for many an instructive and agreeable day underground.
