Abstract
WE are glad to welcome a third edition of this excellent manual, which forms one of Murby's “Science and Art Department” series of text-books. The materials of the little work are arranged with great clearness, and the descriptions of minerals are invariably simple and precise. Nearly the whole of the chapter on crystallography has been re-written, and other alterations have been made to fit the book for the present requirements of students. More than fifty fresh woodcuts have been added.
Mineralogy.
