Overview

Excerpt from Petrographic Methods: The Authorized English Translation of Anleitung Zum Gebrauch Des Polarisationsmikroskops and Die Gesteinsbildenden Mineralien Although there are several excellent treatises on rock minerals in thin section there is, nevertheless, a demand for a text which sets forth all the methods used in a detailed study of rocks, in a clear and concise manner. The fact that Part I of the original German text, published by the Herder Publishing Company, of Freiburg, in Breisgau, appeared in the third edition in 1910 and Part II in the second edition in 1907, seems recommendation enough for presenting it to the English reading student. As it was found inexpedient to adhere strictly to a mere translation of the German an attempt has been made rather to render it freely into English.
