Reviving Good things of the Past

Lost arts need to be brought back so people know what it took to make this country, the new generartions from the 60's up don't know what it takes to make things and define skills. I look forward to finding more things like this so I can keep refreshing my skills.

Historical perspective rather than technical details

A description of the iron production, as a primitive industry focused on certain places of england, as the title describes, does not mention other places in the world or goes in deep details of the technical aspects of iron production. Not a single drawing is included.

History book..

This is a history book describing the iron industry in the Forest of Dean (England) from the 1200's to the 1800's. It does not cover mining or smelting methods, and assumes you understand how these things were done. There are references to the court of England documents that may be of interest to the historian, and mine locations that may be of interest to a geologist, but if you are interested in learning about iron production methods, there is very little included. I skimmed the entire book, since my interest was the latter.

This item is what it was represented to be, and I am most appreciative of the fact that I received what I paid for.

A history book about the places and politics, not how the metal was made in any significant detail.
