 and of the American Geological Society ; Life Member of the Academy of Naiural Sciences, Philadelphia and

Shipments made to any part of tl e world by mail. Specimen copies of the Naturalist's Leisure Hour, of 32 

 pages, sent free. Please mention what subject you are interested in. Subscription 25 cents for 12 numbers on 

 heavy paper. Free to libraries and large customers requesting it. 



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 175 tons and 1,000,000 specimens in stock. 



My Catalogue of Minerals and Mineralogical Books, 128 pages, is sent free to all intending purchasers wb.C 

 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 $1,200 

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

 verified. The price list is an excellent check list, containing the names of all the species to 1S92, 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., cleavage 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- 

 alogiei ; all the principal Ores, &c, &c. The first hundred includesew?/ species in the list advised in Dana's Manual, 

 and some species like Wulfenite, Vivianite, Labradorite, Datolite, Titanite, that are especially advised by Brush, 

 Nason, Egleston or other writers on Mineralogy and blowpipe analysis; also other species like Turquois, .Azurite, 

 Microcline andWavellitethatare 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 240 species, nearly all mentioned 

 in large 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 labeled with printed labels that can only be removed by 

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

 and in most cases, the composition of the Mineral; all the collections are also accompanied by my illustrated 

 Catalogue and table of species. The sizes given are average ; some smaller, many larger. Series up to about 1500 

 species and varieties are furnished.

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 1 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 descriptions are the 

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



Over 300,000 pamphlets and papers, many uneatalogued, in stock I will get what you order ultimately. 



Finally and op the Most Importance. — We must especially request our customers to let us know of all 

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