The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the mining industry. The first section provides an overview of the geology of Britain and the various types of minerals that can be found there. The second section focuses on the techniques and technology used in mining, including the use of steam engines, pumps, and ventilation systems. The third section provides statistical information about the major mines in Cornwall, including production figures, the number of workers employed, and the types of minerals extracted. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of the history and uses of metals, including iron, copper, and lead.
