NOTICE BY THE PUBLISHERS. 



Phillips's Mineralogy has proved the most popular treatise on 

 the science ever published in Great Britain. Prof. Brande, of the 

 Koyal Institution, London, thus speaks of it. " One of the most 

 useful practical works on Mineralogy, and, in our language at least, 

 the most available for the use of the student, is Mr. Allan's edition 

 °» the Elementary Treatise by the late Wm. Phillips." Its cir- 

 culation in this country has also been very extensive, 

 jj rtion comprises three hundred more pages, and one hundred more 

 .° ures °f crystals, and about one hundred and fifty more species and 

 important varieties, than are contained in Allan's edition ; besides 

 a| the important American localities. Notwithstanding these addi- 

 1( j n s, the price of the book is considerably less than Allan's, or any 

 °ther recent treatise on the subiect.
