Excerpt from Manual of the Mineralogy of Great Britain and Ireland Ir has been the earnest endeavour of the Authors of the present work to place the Mineralogy of Great Britain and Ireland on that footing to which scientifically and economically it is entitled they have enjoyed unusual opportunities and facilities in com piling a work of this kind, and have received every advice and assistance from those most conversant with the subject, both locally and generally; and they trust it may be advantageously consulted for information respecting the many beautiful and rare mineral-species (in number not less than 240, exclusive of varieties and sub-species) which have been met with in the United Kingdom; their characters, uses, crystalline forms, and, above all, the localities where they have either formerly been or are now found. Though much of the matter has necessarily been compiled from general sources, a large portion is strictly original, no trouble having been spared in giving the crystalline forms and localities as fully and clearly as possible; while in the chemical department it is hoped that as much new and correct informa tion may be derived as could be expected in a work having a local, and therefore in some degree a limited character.
