With Frontispiece and Illustrations. Cloth. io.s. 6d GENERAL CONTENTS.— PART I.—Sampling of the Earth’s Crust. PART II.—Examination of Minerals. PART III.—Examination of Rocks. PART IV.—Examination of Fossils. “ Prof. Cole treats of the examination of minerals and rocks in a way that has never been attempted before . . . deserving of the highest praise. Here indeed are ‘Aids' innumerable and invaluable. All the directions are given with the utmost clear- ness and précision.”—A thenaum. “ That the work deserves its title, that it is full of ‘Aids,’ and in the highest degree ‘practical,’ will be the verdict of all who use it.”—Nature. ■ * This excellent Manual wili be A VERY GREAT HELP. .
