Abstract
THIS book makes no pretence at supplanting such well-known works as those of Groth and Liebisch, but is intended for the less advanced student, and more especially for the chemist, to whom the necessity of some knowledge of crystallography is becoming increasingly felt. Except in one important particular, little attempt is made to break away from old methods of treatment. The thirty-two classes of symmetry are not treated as independent, but crystal symmetry is distributed in the usual way into the six systems, and under each system are described the holohedral, hemihedral and tetartohedral forms. Both the Naumann and the Millerian symbols for the faces are used, but greater prominence is given to the former.
