Excerpt from Micropetrology for Beginners: An Introduction to the Use of the Microscope in the Examination of Thin Sections of Igneous Rocks
The great increase in the popularity of Petrology in recent years has made the want of a practical elementary text-book more keenly felt, especially by teachers in evening technical schools. The subject is required for Inter. In Geology (london) but unfortunately it is impossible to gain the necessary practical information on the handling of the petrological microscope either from the general text-books on Geology or the specialised books on Petrology. The latter, as far as England is concerned, are few in number, expensive, and they do not give the elemen tary practical information that a student needs although, on the other hand, they go very much further into the subject thanis advisable for a beginner. This little book has been written to bridge over this gap and to give the student and the amateur microscopist that practical knowledge of Micropetrology which hitherto he.
