Les Pierres, Esquisses Minéralogiques

Abstract

THIS volume is another of the recent works on popular science which, like “La Vie Souterraine” of the same author, “Les Volcans” of Boscowitz, and others of a similar character, the publishers of Paris seem of late to compete with one another in bringing out, and of which it may be said that they are peculiarly French, for neither here, elsewhere on the Continent, nor in England do we find their exact representatives.

Les Pierres, Esquisses Minéralogiques.

Par L. Simonin. Pp. 516, with 91 woodcuts, and 21 chromo-lithographs for coloured plates. (Paris, 1869. Hatchette et Cie.)
