“ Plattner’s celebrated work has long been recognized as the only complete
book on Blow-Pipe Analysis. The fourth German edition, edited by Prof.
Richter, fully sustains the reputation which the earlier editions acquired dur-
ing the lifetime of the author, and it is a source of great satisfaction to us to
know that Prof. Richter has co-operated with the translator in issuing the
American edition of the work, which is in fact a fifth edition of the original
work, being far more complete than the last German edition.”—Silliman’s
Journal.
There is nothiug so complete to be found in the English langnage. Platt
ner’s book is not a mere pocket edition ; it is mtended as a comprehensiye guide
to all that is at present known on the blow-pipe, and as such is really indis
pensable to teachers and advanced pnpils.
“ Mr. Cornwalls edition is something more than a translation, as it contains
many corrections, emendations and additions not to be found in the original.
It is a decided improvement on the work in its German dress."—Journal of

LECTUEES ON DESCEIPTIVE MINEEALOGY, Delivered
at the School of Mines, Columbia College. By Peoeessoe T.
Egleston.
These lectures are what their title indicates, the lectures on Mineralogy
delivered at the School of Mines of Columbia College. They have been
printed for the students, in Order that more time might be given to the vari-
ous methods of examining and determining minerals. The second part has
only been printed. The first part, comprising crystallography and physical
mineralogy, will be printed at some future time.
