Abstract
ALTHOUGH numerous works relating to mineral deposits of particular districts have appeared at different times, besides larger treatises dealing with the subject generally, such as the late John Arthur Phillips' “Ore Deposits,” the want of a systematic account of our present knowledge of the origin and occurrence of British iron ores, and of the means of working these ores, has long been noticed. This want will be supplied by the volume under consideration. The author is a mining engineer of thirty years' experience, and he has been able to supplement a careful study of the available literature by unpublished information derived from his own observations. The result is a volume that will prove of substantial value as a work of reference to all interested in the iron industry of this country, more especially as the published information can only be found by a laborious search through the volumes of the Journal of the Iron and Steel Institute, and of the Transactions of other societies.
