Abstract
AS the author remarks in his preface, his present work is a re-cast of a book published for him in 1879 by W. H. Allen and Co., under the title of “Coal Mines' Inspection.” A casual examination of both books shows that they are alike in their main features; only, the latter work has been extended so as to include some of the events of later years. The subject is divided into twelve chapters, to which are added four short appendices and a good index. The text extends to 239 pages 8vo of good readable print, and there are a few good illustrations of ancient mechanical arrangements, including the steel mill.
