Abstract
THIS is one of the numerous manuals published by Hoepli of Milan; it contains a useful little epitome of the art of mining, It is not fair to expect too much from a book costing only 2s., and consequently one must not carp too loudly at the absence of detailed descriptions and figures of certain important mining appliances. Steam shovels and dredges, which play so weighty a part nowadays, are merely mentioned by name, and hydraulic mining is dismissed in a couple of lines. This defect should be remedied in a second edition, for it is well even in a small manual to impress upon the student the great importance of all mechanical methods of excavation.
