Abstract
PROF. PHILLIPS'S text-book on mineralogy follows, on the whole, the usual lines of such works, and in price and size comes intermediately between Miers's well-known treatise, which appeared eleven years ago, and Dana's small book, a new edition of which, prepared by Ford, was published recently. By his experience-in teaching the subject the author is well qualified to write a book suitable for students who wish to acquire a sound working knowledge of mineralogy.

By Prof. A. H. Phillips. Pp. viii + 699. (New York: The Macmillan Co.; London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1912.) Price 16s. net.
