Book Description
Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Crystallography The greater number of substances which we prepare in our laboratories are susceptible of crystallization, that is to say, of assuming regular geometrical forms; and it is observed that when the formation of these crystals proceeds under the same circumstances, the forms of the difl'erent individual crystals are precisely similar, so much so, indeed, that these forms are one of the most certain means of distinguishing crystalline bodies from each other. The crystalline forms which different natural substances afi'ect, appear, at first sight, to be infinitely variable; but a minute study of these various forms has brought to light certain general laws to which they are all subj ect, and which set limits to their number. The laws relative to the crystalline forms of bodies already occupy a conspicuous place in our chemical theories, and the importance of this branch of study will become still greater, when the science of crystallo graphy is more generally spread, and chemists give themselves the trouble of determining, with precision, the crystalline forms of the bodies which they examine. The principles of this science, which here follow, require merely of the reader an acquaintance with elementary geometry.

Book Description
Excerpt from Crystallography: An Elementary Manual for the Laboratory It has been my intention for over thirty years to elaborate and publish my notes for the use of my students, but as my time has been fully occupied in other work, principally in development work and in executive duties, as well as in original investigation, very little time has been available in which to prepare my notes for publication. Even now, on account of the present demands upon my time, but little elabora tion can be made. These notes are published now primarily for use in my own classes, containing over one hundred students in Mineralogy. It is hoped.

Book Description
Excerpt from Crystallography: A Treatise on the Morphology of Crystals I trust that, while endeavouring to fulfil the requirements of readers of the former kind, this book will not be found lacking in demonstrations that may satisfy those of the latter class, for whom indeed it may be said to commence at Article 53, p. 65. Several chapters, those for instance on Symmetry, are written with more detail than a geo metrical student might recognise as needed; but this seemed unavoidable if the usefulness of the book was not to be confined to such readers. Among my old students there have been some who have taken a great interest in the subject and in my book to their relations towards it and towards myself I may only advert here in a few too inadequate words. To a remoter time belongs Professor Lewis, formerly my colleague at the British Museum, and now Professor Miller's successor in the Mineralogical Chair at Cambridge. More especially are my cordial thanks due to the friend who succeeded me in the Keepership of the Mineral Department of the British Museum, Mr. L. Fletcher, for numerous and valuable suggestions and additions to the original ms. And to the proofs which he has so carefully revised. To Mr. Miers' skilful hand I am indebted for numerous figures, the drawing of which I found, with failing eyesight, to be increasingly difficult.nfa 52. Various features that I have adopted from the remark able Treatise (1866) of my Old friend Viktor von Lang, formerly, for a time, my colleague at the British Museum, justify my numbering the distinguished Vienna Professor among those to whom I am as much indebted for the matter of my book as I am for their sustained friendship.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Mineralogy: With an Extended Treatise on Crystallography and Physical Mineralogy The remarkable advance in the Science of Mineralogy, during the years that have elapsed since this text-book was first issued in 1877, has made it necessary, in the preparation of a new edition, to rewrite the whole as well as to add much new matter and many new illustrations. The work being designed chiefly to meet the wants of class or private instruction, this object has at once determined the choice of topics discussed, the order and fullness of treatment and the method of presentation. In the chapter on Crystallography, the different types of crystal forms are described under the now accepted thirty-two groups classed according to their symmetry. The names given to these groups are based, so far as possible, upon the characteristic form of each, and are intended also to suggest the terms formerly applied in accordance with the principles of hemihedrism. The order adopted is that which alone seems suited to the demands of the elementary student, the Special and mathematically simple groups of the isometric system being described first. Especial prominence is given to the normal group under the successive systems, that is, to the group which is relatively of most common occurrence and which shows the highest degree of symmetry. The methods of Miller are followed as regards the indices of the different forms and the mathematical calculations.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Crystallography, Vol. 1: Being of General Mineralogy The material in the following pages was originally intended to be the introductory portion of a text-book on Mineralogy. Because of the increasing interest in Crystallography on the part of chemists and others, however, it has been finally decided to offer it as an independent volume, in the hope that it might find a wider use in this form than if it were merely a portion of a larger volume which would appeal mainly to mineralogists. It is intended that it shall be followed in the near future by a second volume which will deal with minerals the two taken together being expected to constitute an elementary text-book on Mineralogy. The present volume does not pretend to be a treatise on Crystallography. It is merely a guide for those attempting to gain some insight into the fundamental principles underlying the science. It is the direct result of the need felt by the author in his own classes for a simple discussion of crystals and a series of simple statements of crystallographic conceptions. It is not intended to be a description of crystal forms, nor an illustrated list of crystallographic symbols. It is hoped that it may serve as an aid in teaching, but is not expected to serve as a reference book. Consequently some of the facts usually contained in text-books on Crystallography will not be found in its pages. Whether the material retained has always been chosen with wisdom must be left to the judgment of its readers. It was written for students of Mineralogy, Chemistry, and Physics. The mineralogist has always used crystallography as an efficient aid in his study of minerals. The chemist is beginning to appreciate its value in his work.
