OverviewExcerpt from The Canadian Journal of Industry, Science, and Art, 1860, Vol. 5 Minerals are distinguished from one another by certain characters or properties which they possess: such as form, degree of hardness, fusibility. &c. Hence, it is to these characters that our attention must be first directed. Mineral characters are of two kinds: physical or external characters, and chemical characters. The former are exhibited by the mineral under ordinary conditions the latter, only when the mineral is expos ed to the action of heat or mineral acids, by which, in general, a certain degree of chemical decomposition is effected. Hence the term chemical as applied to these latter characters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
