"The language used is quite simple, and can be understood by any intelligent person engaged in the trades dealt with."--_The Clarion._

"This is an appalling book. It shows that there is scarcely a trade or occupation that has not a risk or a danger attached to it."--_Local Government Journal._

"Dr. Parry has not only pointed out the 'risks and dangers of various occupations': he has suggested means for their prevention.

The work is primarily a practical one."--_Colliery Manager._
