Book Description

This 1st edition was published anonymously in very small numbers in 1849. A later edition which was credited to Greenwell was published in 1888. The booklet encompasses a complete glossary of terms and slang used in the Durham and Northumberland coal trade, providing an insider's view of 19th century life in the mines, and as such represents an important document of social history.
