SYSTEMATIC MINERALOGY 



BASED ON A 



NATURAL CLASSIFICATION. 



WITH A GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 



THOMAS STERRY HUNT, M.A., LL.D., 



Author of "Chemical and Geological Essays," "Mineral Physiology and 



Physiography," "A New Basis for Chemistry," 



and " The Chemistry of a World. ' 



BOUND IN CLOTH. PRICE $5.00. 



The aim of the author in the present treatise has been to reconcile the 

 rival and hitherto opposed Chemical and Natural History methods in Min- 

 eralogy, and to constitute a new system of classification, which is " at the 

 same time Chemical and Natural Historical, "or, in the words of the preface, 

 " to observe a strict conformity to chemical principles, and at the same time 

 to retain all that is valuable in the Natural History method ; the two 

 opposing schools being reconciled by showing that when rightly under- 

 stood, chemical and physical characters are really dependent on each other, 

 and present two aspects of the same problem which can never be solved but 

 by the consideration of both." He has, moreover, devised and adopted a 

 Latin nomenclature and arranged the mineral kingdom in classes, orders, 

 genera and species, the designations of the latter being binomial.
