⁂ Opinions of the Press.

"Mr. Pamely has not only given us a comprehensive reference book of a very high order, suitable to the requirements of mining-engineers and colliery managers, but at the same time has provided mining students with a class-book that is as interesting as it is instructive."—Colliery Manager.

"Mr. Pamely's work is eminently suited to the purpose for which it is intended—being clear, interesting, exhaustive, rich in detail, and up to date, giving descriptions of the very latest machines in every department.... A mining engineer could scarcely go wrong who followed this work."—Colliery Guardian.

"This is the most complete 'all round' work on coal-mining published in the English language.... No library of coal-mining books is complete without it."—Colliery Engineer (Scranton, Pa., U.S.A.).

"Mr. Pamely's work is in all respects worthy of our admiration. No person in any responsible position connected with mines should be without a copy."—Westminster Review.
