Specimens sent to any part of the world by mail. Specimen copy of an illustrated monthly 
bulletin of 16 pages sent free. I received the highest award given to any one at the Centen- 
nial Exposition of 1876, and the only award and medal given to any American for "Collections 
of Minerals." My Mineral Catalogue, of 50 pages is distributed free to all customers, to 
others on receipt of 10 cents. It is profusely illustrated and the printer and engraver charged 
me about $900,00 before a copy was struck off. By means of the table of species and accom- 
panying tables most species may be varified. The price list is an excellent check list contain- 
ing "the names of all the species 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, after it will be found the species name, composition, streak or lustre, 
cleavage or fracture, hardness, specific gravity, fusibility and crystallization.
