Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on Crystallography I have had valuable help from numerous friends, to and all of whom I give my hearty thanks. I am specia indebted to Mr. L. Fletcher, Keeper of the Minerals of t British Museum; to Mr. L. J. Spencer, also of the Mine Department of the British Museum; to my colleague, Mr. Hutchinson, Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge; to my sister, Mrs. G. T. Pilcher; who have all been enough to read the proof-sheets, and some parts of th manuscript. To their care and the valuable suggestions mad by them the book owes much; and it is hoped that few erro of any kind have escaped detection. The very full index i the work of Mr. Spencer. I have much pleasure also in expressing my obligation t Mr. Edwin Wilson for the care exercised in the preparation of the diagrams needed to illustrate the text.

Book Description
Excerpt from Crystallography: A Treatise on the Morphology of Crystals The establishment of Crystallography as a science at the hands of Hauy dates back a hundred years from the present time; and midway in that period (in 1839) Professor W. H. Miller published his now classical Treatise. The notation by index-symbols, the representation of the relative positions of crystal faces by the distribution of their 'poles' on a sphere, the stereographic projection of the sphere and of the poles lying upon it, and some of the methods that Miller employed in dealing with the symbols of crystal faces, may indeed be shown to have been introduced in various memoirs by earlier geometers. Thus Bernhardi (1809), Neumann (1823), Frankenheim (1826), and Grassmann (1829) had all represented crystal faces by their normals; the three latter had projected the poles of faces and of zones on the great circles of a sphere: Neumann further represented a face by a symbol that was a first approximation to the simple form suggested by Whewell (1824-5) and afterwards by Justus G. Grassmann (1829) before it became in the hands of Miller an effective implement by which to rear the structure of modern Crystallography. Dr. Whewell, Miller's immediate predecessor in the Cambridge Chair, had indicated the method of deriving the symbol of a face from those of two other faces truncated by it.

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 187 7, 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.

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 Essentials of Crystallography This text is intended for beginners and aims to present the essential features of geometrical crystallography from a standpoint which combines the ideas of symmetry with those of holohedrism, hemihedrism, etc. All forms possible in the thirty-two classes of symmetry are discussed even though representatives of several of the classes have not as yet been observed among minerals or artificial salts. In each system, however, the important classes are indicated so that the book may readily be used for abridged courses. No attempt has been made to discuss the measurement and projection of crystals inasmuch as they involve a somewhat comprehensive knowledge of forms and, hence, cannot be treated adequately in an introductory course. For a similar reason very little reference has been made to the various structural theories of crystals. However, the bibliography of the more important works, which have been published in English and German during the past thirty years, will prove useful to those who may desire to pursue the study of crystallography further than the scope of this text permits. Free use has been made of the various standard texts on crystallography, but especial acknowledgments are due von Groth, Linck, Bruhns, Tschermak, and E. S. Dana. A very large majority of the figures have been drawn especially for this text, the others, however, have been taken from various sources. I am indebted to Mr. W. F. Hunt, Instructor in Mineralogy, also to Messrs. I. D. Scott and C. W. Cook, Assistants in Mineralogy in the University of Michigan, for aid in the reading of the proof.
