Abstract
THE object of this work, as stated by its author, is to supply teachers in evening technical schools, and others, with practical information on the use of the petrological microscope—so far at least as is necessary in the instruction of students in geology for the Intermediate B.Sc. of the London University. It is disappointing to find that a work of this kind is considered to be necessary, for it might fairly be hoped that teachers, undertaking the preparation of candidates for university degrees, would themselves have the necessary practical knowledge for the guidance of their students in manipulation—seeing that an ounce of showing is worth a pound of telling.
