System of nomenclature, but should also stand by it; that, accordingly, the termination inc, which is prominently chemical, should be left to the chemists, and that other miscellaneous endings should, as far as possible, be set aside, or be made to conform to the system. With this in view, changes have been made in accordance with the principles explained in the course of the remarks beyond on Nomenclature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minerals, and How to Study Them: A Book for Beginners in Mineralogy The author has occupied some hours, which could not be devoted to more serious labor, in preparing this little book, in the hope that it might server to encourage those who have a desire to learn about minerals, and also to increase the number of those tastes may lead them in this direction. He shares with most teachers at the present time the conviction that the cultivation of the powers of observation is a most essential element in the education of young people of both sexes; he believes, further, that no subject is better fitted to accomplish this object and at the same time to excite active interest than that of Mineralogy. The attempt has been made to present the whole subject in a clear, simple, and, so far as possible, a readable form without too much detail and at the same time without cheapening the science. As the understanding of the different parts of the subject requires some preliminary knowledge of physics and of chemistry, a little elementary matter in these departments has been introduced.

Download or read book Manual of Mineralogy and Petrography written by James D. Dana and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Mineralogy and Petrography: Containing the Elements of the Science of Minerals and Rocks, for the Use of the Practical Mineralogist and Geologist and for Instruction in Schools and Colleges The preface to the third edition of this work (1878) is as follows: "This Manual in its present shape is new throughout. In the renovation it has undergone, new illustrations have been introduced, an improved arrangement of the species has been adopted, the table for the determination of minerals has been reconstructed, and the chapter on Rocks has been expanded to a length and fulness that renders it a prominent part of the work. But while modified greatly in all its parts, it is still simple in its methods of presenting the facts in crystallography, and in all other explanations; and special prominence is given, as in former editions, to the more common minerals, with only a brief mention of others. The old practical feature is retained of placing the ores under the prominent metal they contain, and of giving in connection some information as to mines and mining industry. "The student is referred to the Text-book of Mineralogy, prepared mainly by Mr. E. S. Dana, for a detailed exposition of the subject of crystallography after Naumann's and Miller's systems, and also of optical mineralogy and other physical branches of the science; to the Manual of Determinative Mineralogy and Blowpipe Analysis by Professor George J. Brush, for a thorough work on the use of the blowpipe, and complete tables for the determination of minerals; and to the author's Descriptive Mineralogy and its Appendixes for a comprehensive treatise on minerals." In this, the fourth, edition the general plan and scope of the work remain unchanged. But it has been revised throughout, and brought down to the year 1886 in its descriptions of minerals, and in the introduction of the many new species announced during the past eight years. The chapter on Rocks has been rewritten, rearranged, much enlarged, and supplied with new illustrations. The work is greatly indebted, for facts about ores and other useful minerals, to the excellent annual report on the "Mineral Resources of the United States," by Mr. Albert Williams, Jr., published by the United States Geological Survey. The author would acknowledge also his obligations to Prof. B. J. Harrington, of Montreal, for the revision of the list of localities in Ontario and Quebec.

Download or read book Descriptive Mineralogy Classic Reprint written by William Shirley Bayley and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Mineralogy The following pages are presented with the purpose of affording students a comprehensive view of modern mineralogy rather than a detailed knowledge of many minerals. The minerals selected for description are not necessarily those that are most common nor those that occur in greatest quantity. The list includes those that are of scientific interest or of economic importance, and, in addition, those that illustrate some principle employed in the classification of minerals. The volume is not a reference book. It is offered solely as a textbook. It does not pretend to furnish a complete discussion of the mineral kingdom, nor a means of determining the nature of any mineral that may be met with. The chapters devoted to the processes of determinative mineralogy are brief, and the familiar "key to the determination of species" is omitted. In place of the latter is a simple guide to the descriptions of minerals to be found in the body of the text. For more complete determinative tables the reader is referred to one of the many good books that are devoted entirely to this phase of the subject. In the descriptions of the characteristic crystals of minerals both the Naumann and the Miller systems of notation are employed, the former because of its almost general use in the more important reference books and the latter because of its almost universal use in modern crystallographic investigations. The student must be familiar with both notations. It is thought that this familiarity can be best acquired by employing the two notations side by side. In preparing the descriptive matter the author has made extensive use of Hintze's Handbuch der Mineralogie. The figures illustrating crystal forms are taken from many sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Minerals The natural objects found on the surface of our earth, or within its crust at a moderate distance from the surface, may be conveniently Classified into three great groups or kingdoms - the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms. The two first embrace every thing organic - that is to say, everything that is, or has been, endowed with life; these are largely made up Of the chemical element carbon combined with the elements (hydrogen and oxygen) of water. The mineral kingdom, on the other hand, includes all in organic bodies that have not been produced by the agency of life. Contrasted with materials of organic origin, they show a much greater diversity in the chemical elements that enter into their composition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Crystallography: For Students of Chemistry Physics and Mineralogy To both chemists and physicists the subject is important, although the information in regard to it embraced in text-books and lectures on chemistry and physics is usually inadequate. Crystals are constantly employed as a means of purifying, recognizing and tracing the relationships between chemical compounds of all sorts; their genesis and growth offer interesting problems in molecular physics, and their completed forms furnish material for the study of elasticity, co hesion and the propagation Of various forms of radiant energy. To the geologist in every field, as well as to the mining engineer, Crystallography is the starting-point to a knowledge of mineralogy, while to the student of petrography an acquaintance with crystal form and its relation to the Optical properties of crystals is indis pensable.
