Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Report of the Geological Survey of the Province of New-Brunswick
Besides these copper, tin, lead, zinc and manganese should claim some attention, and although but small quanti ties of the precious metals have been found in North America, several of the most beautiful gems have been obtained in No va-scotia and new-brunswick.
The oxides and other chemical combinations of the med tals are extensively used in medicine, chemistry, bleaching, dyeing and other important arts, and the beautiful colours used by painters are only so many different forms of mineral matter.
