Abstract
THERE is a distinct need for sound regional textbooks of the more intensive type exemplified by this work. It deals with the coal-fields north of the Trent and the Midland Gate, and discusses the industries which have arisen upon and about them, the communications between them, and their great centres of industry and trade. The basis of discussion is very largely geological. Here there is room for broadening of both foundation and fabric. The book needs an index, and is disfigured by a number of typographical errors, but it is well illustrated with maps which, for the most part, are clear and illuminating. It makes a very useful book for secondary schools and first-year college courses.
