I received the highest award giveu to any one at the Centennial Exposition for 1876, and the only award and medal 

 given to any American for *' Collection of Minerals." 



My Mineralogical Catalogue of 50 pages is distributed free to all customers, to others on receipt of 10 cents. It ia 

 profusely illustrated, and the printer and engraver charged me about $900.00 before a copy was struck oflF. By means of 

 the table of species and accompanying tables most species may be verified. The price list is an excellent check list, 

 containing the names of all the si-ecies and the more common varieties, arranged alphabetically and i)receded by the 

 species number. The species number indicates the place of any mineral iu the table of species; after It will be found 

 the 9pecie^ name, composition, streak or lustre, cleavage or fracture, hardness, specific gravity, fusibility and crystal- 

 lization. I have very many species not on the price list, and some that I had in 1876 are no longer iu stock. 



COLLECTIONS OF MINERALS 



For Students, Amateurs, Professors, Pbysicians, and other Professional 9Een. 



The collections of 100 illustrate all the principal species and all the grand subdivisions in Dana and other works on 

 Mineralogy; every Crystalline System; all the principal Ores and Minerala iu which have been found every known 

 Element. The colllectious are labeled with printed label that can only be removed by soaking. The labels of the $5.00' 

 and higher priced collections give Dana's species number, the name, locality, and in most cases, the composition of tha 

 Mineral. All collections accompanied by my Illustriited Catalogue and table of species. The sizes giveu are average ; 

 some smaller, many larger.

I have now over thirly-tive tons, and over $40,000 worth of Miaerals. mostly crystallized, iu stock. It is well recog- 

 nized that my prices are lower and mv specimens more accurately labeled thau those of any other dealer iu the country. 

 This is mainly due to the immense stock I carry (the largest iu minerals of auy Iu the country) and my system of j.rinted 

 labels attached to the specimens. I can refer to the toUowiug Gentlemen and Colleges, all of whom, with th lusauds of 

 others, have bought specimens of me; inost of them have given me especial permission to use their names as reference.

 were ever sold at before,! furnish collections of Shells. Rocks.&c, at nearly as low rates. The Society for the Encourage- 

 ment of Studies at Home has for a long time recommended their corsespondeuts to get their collections of Rocks an* 

 Minerals of me. As the correct naming of the specimens will be the important point to most persons I feel justmed m 

 mentioning that I have be. n a coUector of Minerals for fifteen years ; that I was a student under Prof Wolcott Gibbs, at 

 Cambridgef and Prof. A. Hoffman, at Berlin. I was also Instructor at Michigan University, and Professor in the Iowa
