Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Mineralogy, Vol. 1 of 2: Second Part, Consisting of Descriptions of the Species, and Tables Illustrative of Their Natural and Chemical Affinities The eclectic character of0 my introductory volume, which was intended to give a view of all the departments of Mineralogy excepting Physiography, rendered it difficult for persons employing it to avail themselves of other treatises for full descriptions of the species. The inapplicability was principally owing to my adoption of the improvements of Mons in relation to simple and compound varieties and to the numerical scale for expressing the hardness, and to my following Baooxn in the treatment of the regular forms not to mention the circumstance, that my artificial tables enumerated a number of Species whose descriptions had not found their way into any English work. This was foreseen in the preparation of that volume; and notice was accordingly given in it, that a second part, devoted exclu sively to descriptions, and constructed in accordance with the principles of the first, was in preparation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petralogy, Vol. 1: A Treatise on Rocks I would propose, therefore, in the present advanced state of the science, that the mineral kingdom be considered as divided into three provinces: l. Parasaoor, or the know ledge of rocks, or stones which occur in large masses 2. Enorocr, the knowledge of gems and small stones. 3. Marsuocr, or the knowledge of metals. Each of these branches is even at present so important, and ofl'ers such numerous t0pics of disquisition and research, that in the course of no long period a professor of each will appear in universities; and each might occupy the sole pursuit. Of an author who is zealous to make discoveries, or to compose complete and classical works.' One of the chief causes of the slow progress of the science is, that it is too wide for one mind; and as zoology has been divided into ornithology, ichthyology, entomology, fire. So mineralogy, to be duly stu died, should have grand subdivisions. These provinces may again be viewed as divided into Do uarrts, corresponding with the Orders of some writers and the Genera of others, as the Provinces supply what are called Classes. This term domain is preferred to District, &c. As it not only implies a subdivision of a province, but, in another acceptation, a ruling or preponderating power, strictly appli cable ia mineralogy, where it is ofien the preponderance, and not the universality, which imparts the denomination. Thus in the siliceous, calcareous, and other domains, it is only understood that the denominating portion prepondemw. As few or no rocks are pure, and unmixed with other sub stances.
