Excerpt from Elements of Mineralogy: Adapted to the Use of Seminaries and Private Students
The Introductory part of this volume is entirely, new, and has been prepared nith the intention of imak'ing the subjects of which it treats understood with the greatest possible facility. By youth and private students. More than forty new cuts have been added to this part of the work, and by means of which it is believed that any person with ordinary diligence may understand the elements of crystallography in a few days.
In the descriptive part of the work, the synonyms have been chiefly omitted, as occupying a considerable portion of Space, without any adequate advantage to the beginner. The more rare varieties have also been left out for the same reason.

Excerpt from Elements of Mineralogy: Adapted to the Use of Seminaries and Private Students
In the execution of the following work, the author has endeavoured, 1st. To make the subject easily understood by avoiding scientific terms, when common words would convey the meaning. 2d. To condense its size as much as possible, by the employment of method in the language of description, and by the omission of all useless words, and 3 d. To make the book interesting to common readers, by the insertion of curious particulars.
In offering the result of his labors to the public, the author hopes to contribute in some small degree, to wards a more general diffusion of taste for Mineralogy, by affording a cheaper and more easy introduction to its elements, than has before existed in this country.
The work of Professor Cleveland, though undoubtedly the best which has been published, is too expensive, and voluminous for general circulation. That of Phillips, is entirely wanting in respect to distinctive characters, nor have his late editions yet been printed in this country. The Manual of Aikin, is too concise, to give the learner a proper knowledge of the science These are the only books which have been published in this country on Mineralogy.
Under such circumstances, it was thought that a work containing the elements of the science, and of such a size as to come within the means of almost every one, was much wanted, and if well done, would facilitate the progress of science in our country. How far the following performance is adapted to these views, must now be left to the judgment of the public.
