Abstract
THE physical examination of rocks and their component minerals, with which this book deals, forms part of many technical investigations. Among the substances which may profitably be tested by methods here described are: sedimentary rocks in geological studies, particularly in connexion with oil geology; building stones; sands intended for specific industrial purposes; raw materials for the ceramic industry, and soils. Prof. Tickell has incorporated in his manual those methods of investigation which are likely to be of common interest and utility. The treatment presupposes a knowledge of scientific fundamentals.
