Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

(Excerpt from Glossary of Terms: Used in the Coal Trade of...)
Excerpt from Glossary of Terms: Used in the Coal Trade of Northumberland and Durham The first edition of the "Glossary of Terms used in The Coal Trade of Northumberland and Durham," was published anonymously in 1849. The number of copies printed was limited, and was soon disposed of. A second edition, which was merely a reprint of the first, followed shortly afterwards; and it also soon became out of print. The Authorship of the "Glossary" was acknowledged by the writer in his preface to the first edition of "A Practical Treatise on Mine Engineering," which was published in 1855. It had for some time been in the mind of the Author to publish a third edition of the "Glossary." The appearance recently of a book having exactly the same title, has hastened the re-publication, particularly as it has, without any acknowledgment, and very largely indeed, drawn verbatim from the pages of the original. The present edition has been entirely re-written. The information contained in the first has been extended and added to; the same style has been observed, as it has been the wish of the Author to include in his book the records of how things were 50 years ago, and much more.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
