Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Minerals and Geology of Central Canada: Comprising the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec The plan and mode of treatment adopted in the original edition of this work, are retained in the present edition; but the subject matter has been greatly extended, and, with the exception of a few pages, the work has been entirely rewritten. It aims to convey, in language as little technical as possible, a practical knowledge of the minerals and general geology of the two central provinces of the Dominion - Ontario and Quebec. In its plan, it embraces five leading sections or subdivisions. These follow each other in logical order, and are discussed throughout in an essentially explanatory form. The first section describes briefly the more salient characters or properties by which the determination of minerals is effected; and it includes a sufficient notice of the blowpipe to enable anyone to employ that useful instrument in the practical examination and rough analysis of mineral bodies. The second part or section contains descriptions of all the minerals hitherto recognized within the Provinces to which the work refers. In these descriptions, minute crystallographic and chemical details are purposely avoided, as unsuited to the character of the book. The descriptive portion of the section is preceded by a couple of Determinative Tables, drawn up expressly for the present work, by the use of which, the name of any mineral occurring in central Canada, may be easily ascertained. The two succeeding sections, Parts III and IV, are introductory to Part V, in which the geological features of Ontario and Quebec are passed under review. Part III discusses the classification, structural characters and other technical points belonging to the study of rock masses generally, and that of mineral veins; and it includes also a brief outline of the Earth's rock-recorded history (pp. 199 to 207).
