Abstract
THIS book is intended for two classes of reader, namely, the student beginning the study of the igneous rocks, and the geologist seeking a refresher course. As a result, the beginner will need careful guidance in his selection of the essentials from the mass of information presented for the expert. Either class of reader is assumed to have a good knowledge of optical mineralogy, presumably from the author‘s "Optical Crystallography" .
