Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from British Mineralogy, or Coloured Figures Intended to Elucidate the Mineralogy of Great Britain, Vol. 1

The utility of such a work as this cannot, we pre7 sume, be doubted, while the sciences of Botany and Agriculture are so liberally encouraged. We are happy to. Boast the friendly assistance of men of the first abilities, whose encouragement cannot but be an honour to us. The undertaking was begun at a time when we had but just become aware how far we were behindhand in this most essential knowledge, when even the Diamond, one of the oldest jewels in the known world, had but recently been discovered to be pure Carbon. Discoveries, scarcely less remarkable.
