(Originally published in 1897.PREFACE: The greatest diffic...)
Originally published in 1897.PREFACE: The greatest difficulty that I have experienced as a teacher of petrology has been in recommending a text-book suitable for English students. As an attempt to meet this difficulty the following pages have been written. They are intended as a guide to the study of rocks in thin slices, and are of course assumed to be supplemented throughout by demonstrations on actual specimens. For this reason the examples are chosen, so far as possible, from British rocks. No systematic account has been given here of the crystallographic and optical properties of minerals...... this early works is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject with much of the information still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwor

Alfred Harker (1859-1939) was a prominent petrologist who spent his career at St John's College, Cambridge, lecturing on and researching rock formations and related geological activity. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1902, and was president of the Geological Society from 1916 to 1918. He used his Cambridge lectures as the foundation for this book (first published in 1909), offering an introduction to the development of rocks and related volcanic activity. With more than one hundred diagrams of various aspects of geological formations, this work also provides a visual guide to the location and formation of igneous rocks. Over the course of the work, he covers the themes of vulcanicity, rock structure, crystallization, the role of magma and the principles of rock classification, giving a broad picture of the field of petrology around the beginning of the twentieth century.
