Abstract
THE scientific study of any art or industry demands, almost as a matter of necessity, that its history should not be neglected, for it is only when its mode of evolution has been clearly traced that the principles upon which it depends can be thoroughly understood. The proper scientific training of the coal miner is a subject that is at present engaging the attention of a large number of those interested in this branch of industry, and to all these Mr. R. L. Galloway's history of coal mining–for such his work really is—will come as a welcome educational weapon; nor will it prove any the less valuable because it has obviously been written without any specific intention of applying it to this purpose. Annals of Coal Mining and the Coal Trade. By R. L. Galloway. Pp. xii + 533. (London: The Colliery Guardian Co., Ltd., 1898.)
