Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on Mineralogical Classification and Nomenclature: With Tables of the Orders and Species of Minerals
IT is not the design of this essay to propose a new system of mineralogical classification. The more limited object of the following pages is to compare the groups of minerals which are associated by outward properties, with a view to discover what are the resemblances and differences of their chemical constitution. This seems to be the method by which we may best hope to approach the most natural and true arrangement of minerals, and to obtain some insight into the nature of the laws by which the chemical composition determines the external character.

An Essay on Mineralogical Classification and Nomenclature (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a method of classifying minerals that combines external physical character with chemical composition, building upon a previously existing mineralogical classification system by integrating chemical breakdowns of minerals. The author first explains and standardizes a few points regarding the rules, nomenclature, and notation of the sciences involved and then proceeds to compare and contrast the results of his classification system with those of established chemist classifications. The author argues that these two separate classifications, mineralogical and chemical, ought to lead to similar results to be considered a valid and useful classification system, which is what he seeks to establish in this work. This book explores a new way of classifying minerals that will aid scientists in an accurate description of minerals, leading to a better understanding of their chemical composition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780331415384_0
