Excerpt from Hand-Book of Mineralogy: Determination, Description and Classification of Minerals Found in the United States A Part of the material of this work was prepared by the author and published under the title of "Mineral Tables." The second edition of the "Tables" being exhausted, advantage is taken of the opportunity to revise, largely rewrite, make additions and corrections, and bring the work out in the present more convenient form. It has been the intention of the author to furnish a work by the aid of which minerals found in this country may easily be determined, to give concisely their prominent and distinguishing characteristics, and to present the classifications usually used in arranging cabinets. The tables for determining minerals are those constructed by the author and published in the work referred to above. Experience in using them in the classroom for the past eleven years has led to a slight modification of their original form.
