Abstract
SINCE the first edition of this excellent little book was issued, in 1926, many investigations of the mineral veins and igneous rocks of Cornwall have been made, largely as a result of the work and influence of the author and of Dr. A. Brammall. Mr. Davison is well known as an authority on the Cornish lodes, and Dr. Brammall's unsurpassed petrological work on Dartmoor has stimulated his colleagues and students to apply his methods to the Cornish granites. In consequence, though only five years have elapsed, the second edition marks a very considerable advance on the first. Many parts of the chapters on contact metamorphism, volatile constituents, and lodes have been rewritten, and a new chapter has been added on china clay.
