Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Coal Mining by T. C. Cantrill was first published in 1914. The text contains an account of the key principles involved in coal mining, together with information regarding its historical development.
