Abstract
ALL who are interested in petrological studies will welcome a new edition of this familiar text-book, which made its first appearance nearly forty years ago. Every subsequent edition has exceeded its predecessor in size and completeness, and the fifth, to judge from this instalment of the first half of the first volume, is not likely to prove an exception. It is true that some of the topics dealt with in earlier editions, such as the principles of stereographic projection, are omitted as being now sufficiently familiar to the student, but the space thus saved, and more, is required for the develop ments during the seventeen years that have elapsed since the previous edition was published.
