(Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy; Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; 
Life Member of the Academy or 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 75 cents a year; for club rates 
and premiums, see each issue. 
I received the highest award given to any one at the Cen¬ 
tennial Exposition of 1876, and the only award and medal 
given to any American for “Collection of Minerals.” 
My Mineralogical Catalogue of 100 pages is sent post-paid on receipt of 15 cents, heavy paper 25 cents, bound 
in cloth 50 cents, % sheep 75 cents, % calf $1.00, cloth interleaved $1.00, % sheep interleaved $1.25, % calf 
interleaved $1.50. (price-list alone, 16 pp. 3 cents! It is profusely illustrated, and the printer and engraver 
charged me about $1,000 before a copy was struck off. By means of th 3 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 
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, where will usually be found the 
species name, streak or lustre, cleavage or fracture, hardness, specific gravity, &c., &e., fusibility and crystalli¬ 
zation. I have very many species not on the price-list, and some that I had in 1876 are no longer in stock. 
COLLECTIONS OF MINERALS for Students, Amateurs, Professors, Physicians, et ai. 
The collections of 100 illustrate all the principal species and all the grand subdivisions in Dana and other 
works on Mineralogy; all the principal Ores, &c., Ac. The collections are labelled 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 the Mineral; the $5.00 and higher, are also accompa¬ 
nied by my illustrated Catalogue and table of species. The sizes given are average; some smaller, many larger.
