"The author's object has simply been to write a history of the coal trade in Great
Britain, and to trace the gradual rise and progress of coal mining from its small and
almost accidental beginnings to the present gigantic industry He has done his
work so well, has brought so much industry and research, coupled evidently with a
thorough knowledge of the subject to bear upon the task, that he has succeeded in
reproducing a most complete picture of the evolution of the coal-mining industry."-
