Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Mineralogy, or the Natural History of the Mineral Kingdom, Vol. 2 The problem to be resolved in constructing a General Description is, to give a correct idea of all, or at least Of the known varieties of a species in their proper connexion; it must therefore contain at once all the descriptions of these varieties, without its being itself in a strict sense a description at all. It is evident that the only means Of ar riving at this end, will be the employment of the series of characters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of the Mineral Kingdom, Relative to the Strata of Coal, Mineral Veins, and the Prevailing Strata of the Globe, Vol. 1 of 2 The only traits of the Author's character which I can venture to delineate, must be derived from this Work, in which'he discovers himself to have been a man of acute observation and nice discern: ment, of great activity, and ardour of mind; and, what is not unusual in such characters, the warmth of his enthusiasm, on the peculiar sub-a jects of his contemplation, seems at times to have led him too far into visionary speculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Minerals In the preparation of this little book the writer has striven to answer questions rather than to rehearse facts. It has been made increasingly plain to him, in the course of his experience that the bulk of the Museum public demand not a text book, however simple, but a statement of the principles upon which may be built up an understanding of such an assemblage of natural objects as the one that has been brought together in the Morgan Memorial Hall of the American Museum of Natural History. The present volume is then an attempt to put into a simple and popular form the How? And the Why? Of mineralogy, to the end that the Visitor-may be enabled to interpret what he sees around him in this Hall. To an extent it has been written around the Introductory Series of the Collee tion, but in a larger sense the book and the exhibit have been prepared together, so that they are closely linked in idea and presentation. Much of the text has been suggested by questions put to the writer by those who in times past have sought information regarding the things of which it treats, and it is in the hope that some of these questions may thus be answered that he now presents it to them.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Mineralogy, Geology, and Mineral Analysis, Vol. 2 of 2 The Earth is one of eleven bodies called planets, which revolve round the sun. Its mean distance from that luminary is 93,595,000 English miles; its mean diameter is 7,912 miles; and its mean circumference 24,856 miles. It completes its diurnal revolution in 24 hours; and its annual revolution in 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 51 seconds. One satellite or attendant body, the Moon 2,180 miles in diameter, revolves round the earth in 29 days, 12 hours, and 44 minutes, at a mean distance of 475,000 English miles. The moon, like the earth, exhibits a surface of mountains and valleys. The earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, or sphere flattened at the poles. The amount of the compression is such, that the equatorial diameter exceeds the polar diameter or axis by about 25 miles; or the one is to the other very nearly as 312 to 311. The centrifugal force arising from the revolution of the earth round its axis, which obviously tends to dilate the equatorial parts, led Newton to infer the oblate or compressed figure of the earth, before it had been ascertained by actual measurement.
