Abstract
THE title shows that the author's object is to describe the past and present condition of British metal mines, and to venture some prophecies as to their future. It requires a bold heart to attempt a work of this kind; but, as explained in the preface, Mr. Hunt's long connection with mines and his official position as Keeper of Mining Records have given him excellent opportunities for gathering information.
British Mining, a Treatise on the History, Discovery, Practical Development, and Future Prospects of Metalliferous Mines in the United Kingdom.
By Robert Hunt. 4to. Pp. xx. 944, 231 Woodcuts and 2 Folding Plates. (London: Crosby Lockwood and Co., 1884.)
