Abstract
UNIFORM with the “Rock Minerals” of the same author, now in its second edition, the work which Prof. Iddings has now completed will take an assured place as the fullest and most comprehensive treatment of the subject in our language. Nor is it of the nature of a compilation, but presents numerous features of originality. There are novelties which will be cordially welcomed, and others which will probably meet a more doubtful reception. The author has not shrunk from introducing many debatable questions, and has pronounced on them in no uncertain tone. Although the spirit is that of the missionary rather than the controversialist, this somewhat impairs the utility of the work as a hand-book for students.
