Abstract
THIS handsome volume, with its beautifully chromo-lithographed plates, supplies a want that has long been felt in English scientific literature. It was scarcely fitting that in this country, where the application of the microscope to the study of thin sections of rock was first suggested and practically carried out, there should exist no comprehensive work dealing with the chief varieties of our native rocks, as illustrated by their microscopic characters.

By J. J. Harris Teall With Forty-seven Plates. (London: Dulau and Co., 1888.)
