I received the highest award given to any one 
at the Centennial Exposition of 1876, and the 
only award and medal given to any American 
for " Collections of Minerals." Two medals 
and honorable mention at Pai-is in 1889. The 
silver medal for general display of minerals was 
the only one awarded an American dealer, and 
TWIN ZIRCON. tae awards for collections and general display 
were as high as those given any others (even 
French exhibits) of the same character. Over 175 tons and 1,000,000 
specimens in stock.

Collections of Minerals for Students, Amateurs, Professors, 
Chemists, Physicians et al. 
The collections of 100 illustrate t'Le principal species and all the grand 
subdivisions in Dana's and other Mineralogies; ali the principal Ores, &c., 
&c. The first hundred includes every species in the list advised in Dana's 
Manual, and some species like Wulfenite, Vivianite, Labradorite, Datolite, 
Titanite, that are especially advised by other writers on Mineralogy and 
blowpipe analysis ; also other species like Turquois, Azurite, Microcline 
and Wavellite that are important. 
Many of the scientific men of the country, recognizing the advantage of 
having such an exchange, have placed copies of their papers in my hands 
for sale on commission. Our lists of scientific books are sent free on light 
paper, except the 200 page Medical Catalogue, same prices as the Mineral 
Catalogue, 5 cents. 
All American books in print supplied on order. Foreign books obtained 
to order in a few weeks. Of the second-hand books on my list I have 
generally only single copies, but when sold I replace them as soon as 
possible. 
When any book inquired for comes to hand, a memorandum, stating 
description and price will be sent. In our book catalogues the prices 
opposite the latest number supersede former prices usually where descrip- 
tions are the same. My arrangements for noting the needs of my corres- 
pondents are nearly perfect. 
Over 300,000 pamphlets and papers, many uncatalogued, in stock. I 
will get what you order ultimately.
