Excerpt from Elements of Optical Mineralogy, Vol. 1: An Introduction to Microscopic Petrography; Principles and Methods

This work had its inception under the impulse Of a conviction that English students and independent workers in petrography needed a clear and systematic description Of the apparatus to be used and the methods to be employed. The aim has not been to write a treatise on Optics, nor upon crystallography, but the elements of these subjects have been presented only so far, and as briefly, as is consistent with a comprehension Of the main theme, which is the microscopic study Of minerals and rocks.
