Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Important Minerals and Rocks: With Tables for the Determination of Minerals

Chapter I of the book contains in brief outline the more fundamental principles of crystallography, followed by a description of the different crystalline systems and of some of the more important crystalline aggregates and irregular forms. The subject-matter of the chapter can be almost indefinitely extended by lecture if so desired. The reason that the crystallographic branch is so briefly treated is stated in the introduction to the book, no other treatment being considered appropriate in a short general course.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Important Minerals and Rocks: With Tables for the Determination of Minerals

This book is the slow outgrowth of the efforts to meet the necessities of this institution for a convenient text-book of the important minerals and rocks. The number of mineral species has reached nearly one thousand and is constantly increasing. Of this number less than one-tenth is of common occurrence or can be considered of much economic importance, and a small proportion of this same tenth includes the essential constituents of all rocks. To embrace in descriptive text all mineral species necessarily results in an embarrassing mass of matter for the general student. Similar embarrassment, though to a less extent, is experienced in complete descriptions of all the rocks. To reduce these descriptions to a convenient yet satisfactory form for general students is the object of the present effort.

There are described in the book about seventy-five distinct species of the important and, in the main, common minerals, and the principal members of the different classes of rocks. It is thought that the selection is extended enough for general purposes, and it includes abundant material for the study of both minerals and rocks.
