 and of the American Geological Society ; Life Member of the Academy of Nat. Sciences, Phila., and American, 

 Museum of Nat. History, Central Park, N. Y. City.) 



Specimens sent to any part of the world by mail. Specimen copies of the Naturalist's Leisure Hour, of 32 

 pages, sent free. Subscription 25 cents for 12 numbers. 



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 Paris in 1889, 

 The silver medal for general display of minerals was the only one awarded an American dealer, and the awards 

 for collections and general display were as high as those given any others (even French exhibits) of the same, 

 character. Over 150 tons and 1,000,000 specimens in stock. 



My Catalogue of Minerals and Mineralogical Books 100 pages is sent free to all intending purchasers who 

 request it on headed paper and to all customers, to others post-paid on receipt of 5 cents, heavy paper 10 cents, 

 bound in cloth 35 cents, % sheep 50 cents, % calf 75 cents, interleaved, each, 25 cents additional. (Price-list alone 

 free, or heavy paper 5 cents.) It is profusely illustrated, and the printer and engraver charged me about §1,000 

 before a copy was struck off. By means of the table of species and accompanying tables, most species may be 

 verified. The price list is an excellent cheek list, containing the names of all the species to 1889, and the more 

 common varieties, arranged alphabetically, and preceded by the species number. The species number indicates 

 the place of any mineral in the table of species, where will be found the species name, streak or lustre, cleavag- 

 or fracture, hardness, specific gravity, fusibility, and crystallization. 



COLLECTIONS OF MINERALS for Students, Amateurs, Professors, Chemists, Physicians et al. 



The collections of 100 illustrate the principal species and all the grand subdivisions in Dana's and other Miner 

 alogies; all the principal O res, &c, &c. The first hundred includes every species in the list advised in Dana's Manual 

 and some species like Wulfenite, Vivianite, Nitratine, Labradorite, Datolite, Titanite, and Embolite, that are espe- 

 cially advised by Brush, Nason, Egleston or other writers on Mineralogy and blowpipe analysis; also other species 

 like Turquois, Azurite, Microcline and Wavellite that are important. The second hundred includes the remaining 

 varieties advised by Dana, and most species advised in text-books on Mineralogy and blowpipe work. 



Our third hundred includes more rare species and varieties. The 300 include nearly all mentioned in lar^> 

 type in Dana's and other text-books on Mineralogy and blowpipe analysis, and a few recent species of much 

 importance not mentioned in them. The collections are labelled with printed labels that can only be removed 

 by soaking. The labels of the Students and higher priced collections give Dana's species number, the name, locality, 

 and in most eases, the composition of the Mineral; the 81.50 and higher, are also accompanied by my illus- 

 trated Catalogue and table of species. The sizes given are average; some smaller, many larger.

No references are given because there are but few institutions in America that have not purchased of me and 

 but few countries where I have no customers. 



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. Heavy paper, see page of 

 book abbreviations. 



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 supercede former prices usually where descriptions 

 are the same. My arrangements for noting the needs of my correspondents are nearly perfect. 



Over 200,000 pamphlets and papers, many uncatalogued, in stock. I will get what you order ultimately. 



Finally asd of the Most Importance. — TVe must especially request our customers to let us know "of ; 

 mistakes and errors that may occur at our establishment. We can and will gladly rectify them at our own expeni
