In emphasizing this aspect, I have been influenced by a conviction that the subject has not yet been accorded its due place as an integral part of historical geology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Igneous Rocks The plan of the present work is that of selecting from the large body of observed facts bearing on the identification of rocks with the microscope those which it is desirable for the beginner to get command of in the course of his early studies. The work is intended as an introduction to the exhaustive treatises on the subject. Inasmuch as the student invariably begins his laboratory work with the igneous rocks, these alone, with their constituent minerals, have been considered. Such a method of attack at once greatly limits the field on its mineralogical side, and permits of an extended treatment of determinative methods. In the discussion of the characteristics of a given rock-making mineral the aim has been to impart at the outset the most important diagnostic information regarding it. In the tables for desk use a fairly extended enumeration of the properties of the minerals of igneous rocks is given, but here also emphasis has been laid, by the use of bold face type, upon their more important characteristics from the point of view of the beginner who has to learn to identify them. The text dealing with the igneous type rocks is devoted entirely to setting forth the assemblages of facts of discriminative significance which are made use of in recognizing them in thin sections. Such a treatment can make no claim to completeness of exposition from the point of view of the geologist. The student will not, however, come to regard rocks merely as objects which can be classified by the recognition of their mineralogy and structures. It is believed that by emphasizing their differences the beginner can most quickly be put in possession of a knowledge of their complexity, and be led to take the interest in them which the petrologist must feel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Petrology: The Igneous Rocks A Little book that should briefly describe the mineral constituents and internal structures of the Igneous Rocks, their mode of occurrence at the surface and their origin beneath the crust of the earth, has long been a desideratum among English text-books of Science. With the view of filling this gap this little book has been prepared; and it is hoped that it will be found useful, not only as an introduction to the subject, but also as a handy work of reference.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Igneous Rocks, Vol. 1 of 2: Composition, d104ure and Classification, Description and Occurrence In the construction of Volume I, liberal use has been made of many sources of information, to which references are given in most cases. But the subject is so complex that the present treat ment of it must be necessarily incomplete. However, it is hoped that the essential features of the petrology of igneous rocks have been presented in such a manner as to inform the student of the fundamental facts of the subject, and to call his attention to the lines along which further advancement of the science may be made.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Igneous Rocks, Vol. 2 of 2: Composition, d104ure and Classification, Description and Occurrence A systematic description of igneous rocks involves so many features which are so intricately blended that it is not possible to deal with the whole subject thoroughly in a single treatise, and while it may be desirable eventually to devote separate treatises to particular phases of the subject, petrology has not yet reached a stage of development where such a method of procedure seems advisable. Any attempt to describe igneous rocks in a single volume is likely to emphasize some features more than others, and to present certain groups of characteristics in greater detail than others of equal importance for a complete knowledge of igneous rocks. The purpose of a book should determine which features are to be emphasized if it is to be more than an encyclo pedia of petrographical data.
