Excerpt from Manual of LithologyThe Course in Lithology at the Lehigh University is eminently practical. After a thorough grounding in Crystallography and Mineralogy, the student begins the study of rock-formation. Following the methods employed in the preliminary subjects, the theory and the definitions are first acquired, and afterwards a practical knowledge of the rocks is obtained by the examination of specimens. As the object of the course is to enable the student to classify at sight the more common species, only the macroscopic peculiarities are given. The aim of the writer has been to combine a thorough knowledge of the elementary portion of the subject with a brief account of the principal rocks and a ready method for their determination.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
