“Altogether, Prof. Hyslop’s book is the broadest and most understandable work in accord with an intelligent ambition for what this new science can and will do that we have read up to date.” Pendennis.

Ihlseng, Magnus C., and Wilson. Eugene Benjamin. Manual of mining. [*]$5. Wiley.
“Based on the course of lectures delivered at the school of mines of Colorado, Prof. Ihlseng’s book, which is regarded in America as the best text-book on the subject, has been enlarged under the joint authorship of Mr. Wilson to include coal mining.... The book is divided into two parts, mining engineering and practical mining. The former deals with prospecting, preparatory work, methods of mining, power generation, hoisting machinery, electric generation and water power ... underground haulage systems, ... pumping, mine gases, ventilation, ... and accidents in mines. The second part deals with shafts, ... tunnels and gangways, drilling and boring machines for explorations, miner’s tools, channelers, drills and coal-cutters, and blasting.”—Nature.
“The book has no American competitor, and it is superior to any other book in the English language covering the same broad field.”

“The book contains much useful information, but the lack of method in the arrangement cannot fail to militate against its use as a textbook.”
