Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular Guide to Minerals: With Chapters on the Bement Collection of Minerals in the American Museum of Natural History, and the Development of Mineralogy; For Use of Visitors to Public Cabinets of Minerals and for Elementary Teaching in Mineralogy This guide is intended for use by visitors to collections of minerals. While the arrangement may not be always the same in all collections, there can be but slight deviation from the commonly accepted succession given in Dana's "System of Mineralogy" (5th and 6th editions). Specimens of the various representative species of minerals will also be found to resemble each other, and illustrations and comments drawn from one highly developed collection will be found usually applicable to all others. The following pages may be found useful by almost all visitors to mineral collections, and in itself is a convenient reference. The order observed in this Guide is that of the fifth edition of Dana, but this in no way interferes with the use of the Guide when the collection inspected is arranged by that of the sixth, or in any other way, as long as the broader divisions retain their usual succession, as Elements, Sulphides, etc., Oxides, and Oxygen Salts, including Silicates. The position of the carbonates before or after the silicates, or the deviation from the plan of the Guide in the position of some mineral species, cannot diminish its usefulness, as of course in all collections, minerals of the same species or name are brought together. An alphabetically arranged Index assists the visitors to collections, public or private, to find at once any mineral he may be examining. Some of the figures of crystals in the following pages were kindly loaned by John Wiley Sons, New York, the publishers of Dana's "System of Mineralogy;" the figures of specimens of the Bement Collection in the American Museum of Natural History, were used through the kind permission of its director, and the Chapter on the History of Mineralogy, by permission of the publishers of the Scientific American. This Guide is applicable also to collections in which the species are grouped around a predominant base, by the use of the Index. It contains a reference to the famous Bement Collection, and plates illustrative of specimens to be seen in that cabinet. It has been greatly augmented in text and illustrations over the first edition, and the author has ventured, in its introductory portion, to suggest teaching lessons to teachers.
