This is the seventh volume in a continuing series of The Mineral Statistics of the United Kingdom 1845-1913 and completes coverage of the South West of England. Cornwall was the greatest mining district in the country during this period and the number and output of its mines dwarfed those of all other regions. This book shows the industry at its peak and through the first years of irreversible decline, recording, in detail, the output, ownership, management and employment of every working mine in the county. Drawing on the Mining Record Office’s own official published returns, it is designed to supplement and correct section of H.G. Dines, The Metalliferous Mining Region of South-West England and to provide a basic reference text for all interested in the history and geology of mining in Cornwall. The addition of new locational information in the form of Ordinance Survey Grid References makes this the most comprehensive field guide to the substantial surface and underground remained of the county.Preface Introduction I The Mineral Statistics II Cornish Mineral Production III The Mine Tables IV Bibliography V The County Tables Appendix A Cornwall's Principal Mines Appendix B List of Mines arranged by Grid Reference The Tables of Mine Production, Ownership, Management and Employment.

Freemasonry played a major role in the economic and social life of the Victorian era but it has received very little sustained attention by academic historians. General histories of the period hardly notice the subject while detailed studies mainly confine themselves to its origins in the early eighteenth century and its later institutional development. This book is the first sustained and dispassionate study of the role of Freemasonry in everyday social and economic life: why men joined, what it did for them and their families, and how it affected the development of communities and local economies.Introduction: Freemasonry—a Global Institution Cornwall and Cornish Freemasonry in the Nineteenth Century The Economic and Social Structure of Cornish Craft Lodges and Side Orders Reason for Joining, Part 1.
