Abstract
This well-known book was first published in the year 1877, and a second edition appeared in 1898. The present third edition leaves the form essentially unchanged, the close relation between the author's “System of Mineralogy” and this book having rendered it inadvisable to revise the chemical classification of the minerals until a new edition of that larger work can be undertaken. The distinguished author is now professor emeritus at Yale; he still retains the post of curator of Mineralogy, however, but being well advanced in years the revision of the book has been undertaken by Prof. Ford.
