Excerpt from Manual of Mineralogy, or the Natural History of the Mineral Kingdom: Containing a General Introduction to the Science, and Descriptions of the Separate Species, Including the More Recent Discoveries and Chemical Analyses In a work of such extent, containing so many numbers, and in which almost every word expresses a definite fact, errors can scarcely be avoided. The Author has endeavoured to diminish their number by careful and repeated revision, and trusts that those overlooked may be found comparatively few, and not such as to interfere with the utility of the volume. He would gladly hope that, with all its defects, the work may in some measure aid in promoting the study of this branch of science, and in extending the knowledge of those wonders of Creative Wisdom with which the Mineral Kingdom, like every other portion of Nature, so richly abounds.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
