The indcfigablc industry, die aQO oiilinon precision, and h% great number of new and important yiewi with which the author of this little worh has enriched Clieraistiy and the kindred Sciences, are sufficiently known, I presume, to all mon of sciepoe in Great Britoiii, to induce them to receive eipeiy new proposal which comes from him with candour and attention Professor Berzelius was obliging enough to send me a copy of the Original of this little Essay, immediately on its publication at Stockholm, about three months ago.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of mineralogy, a field that was undergoing a major transformation in the early 19th century. The author, a leading scientist of the time, presents a groundbreaking approach to understanding minerals, moving away from traditional methods based on external characteristics. Instead, the book argues for a new system rooted in the emerging field of electrochemistry. The author demonstrates how understanding the electro-chemical properties of minerals, their constituent elements, and their proportions reveals the true nature of these fascinating materials. The book examines specific minerals, dissecting their compositions and showing how they can be classified based on their electro-chemical properties, effectively creating a new framework for understanding the mineral world. This book, written at a time when scientific understanding of minerals was rapidly evolving, offers a unique and insightful perspective, providing a foundation for the development of modern mineralogy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330659373_0
