Book Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Rocks and Guide to the Museum Collection This Guide-book has been designed on the same general plan as the Introductions to the Study of Meteorites and Minerals, published in 1881 and 1884, respectively. It attempts to give, from a Museum point of view, a simple sketch of the relationships of Rocks, indicating at the same time all the more important characters and pointing out their significance. In a perfect Introduction mere speculation would be avoided; and only statements would be made of which the accuracy could be proved, or at any rate suggested, by means of specimens small enough to be exhibited in proper sequence in the Cases of a Museum. Further, an ideal Introduction would be brief; and yet so far explanatory as to be easily understood by every Visitor who has had a general education and is willing to give a moderate amount of thought to the subject. But there are practical difficulties in the preparation of such a Guide-book; the whole of a rock-mass cannot be exhibited in a Museum, the causes of various characters or changes cannot be shown in actual operation, and many rocks require microscopic examination or chemical analysis for their dis crimination: yet an Introduction even distantly approaching the above ideal will doubtless be of service to those who come to study the Mineral Collections of the Natural History Museum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.
