Of the unanimously favorable criticisms of this book, we have only space 

 to quote one : 



" It is a work that should be in the hands of every intelligent man connected, 

 with a colliery, no matter what his position. It is as valuable to the intelligent 

 miner as it is to the mining engineer or the colliery official." Colliery Engineer.
