Synopsis
Excerpt from Tables for the Determination of Minerals by Physical Properties Ascertainable With the Aid of a Few Field Instruments: Based on the System of the Late Professor Doctor Albin Weisbach
In America mineralogists have very generally agreed to consider Dana's last edi tion as authority on most dis uted questions, and in nothing does this great work more clearly show the incredib e industry, care, and good °udgment of its author than in the considerations which have influea him in regard to the choice of names for minerals. He has given to this essential though less professional part of the subject so much thought, has weighed so fairly and justly the claims of rival claimants to the right of naming, and has altered objectionable names with such independence and ability, that it would be strange indeed if an American book on any ranch of the sub'eet did not make Dana's nomenclature the basis of its own. This has been done in t e present tables.
