Abstract
THIS little book on the gnomonic projection of crystals is a welcome addition to crystallographic literature. The standard work on the subject, “Ueber Projektion und graphische Kristallberechnung,” by Prof. V. Goldschmidt, of Heidelberg, was published in the year 1887, before the advent of the two-circle goniometer, which has both simplified the method and enlarged the field of usefulness of the gnomonic projection. The greater number of the subsequent improvements in the method we owe to Dr. G. F. Herbert Smith, Mr. H. Hilton, Dr. A. Hutchinson, Dr. J. W. Evans, Sir Henry Miers, Prof, von Fedorow, and Prof. F. E. Wright.
Die gnomonische Projektion in ihrer Anwendung auf kristallographische Aufgaben.
