Edition Note
Internet Issue
( 2007 )
The files listed on the internet do not contain
the complete and final versions of Mineralogy
S¿ Crystallography: a Biobibliography or the
companion book, Mineralogy ¿¿ Crystallogra-
phy: On the History of these Sciences. Rather
these are intermediate presentations of a por-
tion of the computerized database being cre-
ated to output a final version as printed books.
However, even in this incomplete state these
works give a substanial history of mineralogy
and crystallography together with exhaustive
descriptions of the major books. These files
are being made available to the general public
because of numerous requests for access to the
information and the benefit to the compiler in
the feedback he recieves from the readers. Al-
though it is a work in progress with errors and
formatting problems, these intermediate files
are still a very useable reference sources.
The Biobibliography and the History are
companion works ultimately intended to each
stand complete in itself, but to never the less
complement each other, with information from
one feeding into the other. This is particularly
true of the section labeled "Regional Histo-
ries" in the History, which describes the devel-
opment of mineralogy in individual countries.
While gathering information for the History, an
ever increasing number of additional titles are
necessarily being added to the Biobibliography.
Happily however, there is finally an end in sight
to the project. It was not possible to create the
History without having first compiled the Bio-
bibliography, and now that it is being written,
work on both books is steadily drawing to a
point where the text to both can be given a
final edit, and be made ready for actual publi-
cation as physical books. However, in advance
of that future date, these files are being placed
on the internet so that researchers and scholars
may reference them.
For this project, the TgX program devel-
oped by Donald Knuth professor emeritus of
Stanford University has been used to format
the database text and elegantly typeset the vol-
umes directly into the user friendly file format
of PDF (Postscript Document Format) devel-
oped by Adobe Software. The PDF file format
has man}' advantages, especially since these
files can be viewed and printed through the
Adobe Reader software, which is readily avail-
able. By this method it is possible to distribute
electronic versions of the Biobibliography and
History at a very cheap cost. Paper versions of
the files can also be created by those individuals
who prefer physical copy in their hands. Sev-
eral paths are available to accomplish this goal.
First download the files to your local computer
and use either a home computer with a printer
to output the over 2,000 pages or take the files
to the local copy bureau and have them print
the works double-sided and bound into three
volumes.
The text of the Biobibliography and His-
tory are of course subject to change (sometimes
radical) in the future. In particular, reference
numbers for the individual titles listed in the
Biobibliography unfortunately change because
additions and deletions to entries in the source
database cause these numbers to increase or de-
crease, respectively. The files placed on the in-
ternet were created in January 2007 in antici-
pation of the forthcoming 53st Annual Tucson
Gem & Mineral Society Show to be held in Tuc-
son, Arizona on February 8-11, 2007.
Since this is a work in progress, comments
and suggestions about the content, format or
missing entries are welcome by the compiler.
The intention is to bring the work to comple-
tion with in the the next few years, so that it
can finally be printed as actual physical books.

Preface
Few people today would claim mineralogy as
a science balanced on the edge of significant
discovery, but that was not the case in the
past. Then, mineralog}' and its companion
study crystallography were important sciences
with each new discovery being widely publi-
cized and debated. Many researchers, some of
whom may be counted among the greatest ge-
niuses of the human race, contemplated, inves-
tigated and wrote about minerals and crystals.
Mineralogy S¿ Crystallography: A Biohibliog-
raphy, attempts in some measure to spotlight
these people, their discoveries and their books.
It covers the period from the invention of me-
chanical printing through the first two decades
of the twentieth century, and lists thousands of
book titles in a variety of languages, many of
which are described in bibliographic detail for
the first time.
It is a reference intended for collectors,
booksellers, librarians and historians of science,
who have an interest in the development of
mineral studies. Consequently, biographical
sketches of all writers notable in the sciences
of mineralog}' and crystallography are included
together with many names that have long since
been forgotten by the march of time. It is lim-
ited in scope to researchers active in Europe,
Russia and the Americas, from the beginning of
time until 1920, and is a true biobibliography
containing concise biographical notes and copi-
ous reference lists about the authors together
with annotated bibliographies of their miner-
alogical and crystallographic books. Effort has
been made to include as many biographical ref-
erences as possible since many of the names
listed are obscure and it is hoped that this
ready reference will stimulate further research.
Complementing each biography is a bibliogra-
phy of the individual's independent books rele-
vant to mineralogy and crystallography. Some-
times there is a single entry, in other instances
many titles are listed. All issues, editions,
translations and abridgments that have been
uncovered are recorded in the bibliography. If
a copy of the book listed has been physically ex-
amined, it is described in full bibliographic de-
tail, with complete pagination, collation, plate
descriptions and a moderately detailed page by
page recitation of contents. Otherwise as much
information as could be located about the book
is presented. This includes commentary related
to the books importance in the development of
the science, notices of reviews and other refer-
ences listing the title.
Two prime tests of the value of a bibliog-
raphy are its accuracy and completeness. As
to the first, no reference work consulted is en-
tirely free from error, and it is a certainty that
a careful reader will find mistakes in this vol-
ume. Hopefully, they are not numerous, and
the compiler bears sole responsibility for them.
Every bibliographer knows that reference works
do not always agree about the facts of a sub-
ject's life, but that some sources are more re-
liable about the facts than others. In general,
prominent researchers gain a place in important
works such as Dictionary of Scientiñc Biogra-
phy, in a major national biography (e.g. Dic-
tionary of American Biography, Neue Deutsche
Biographie), or in the biographical memoirs of
learned society, and the information provided
by these sources is usually reliable. Many con-
tributors to the development of mineralogy and
crystallography were not included in such refer-
ence works, however, and the confidence in the
accuracy of the biographical data that has been
traced is only as good as the citation(s) uncov-
ered. For this reason, especially for less well-
known researchers, multiple biographical cita-
tions (when available) are provided.
This work is intended to fit into a position
that has never before been filled. It gives in one
convenient work the digested contents of thou-
sands of references with respect to their cover-
age of the sciences of mineralogy and crystal-

A work of this scope could not be completed
without the invaluable cooperation of a large
number of people and access to many private
and public libraries. It has been a privilege to
meet and work with the many individuals who
because of a shared interest in the history of
mineralogy, have freely given of their knowledge
in the field and helped to make the descriptions
in this work better than the}' otherwise would
have been.
A chance to write the sale catalog of the
Frederick H. Pough library in 1982 provided
descriptions of many rare mineralogies, espe-
cially those containing hand-colored illustra-
tions. Early in the project H. Stanton Hill
supplied a duplicate set of photocopies of title
pages to books he owned at the time. In addi-
tion, some of those contacted during the course
of research very kindly invited me into their
homes and allowed me unfettered access to
their remarkable libraries. These include Alix
and Russell Filer, Richard Bideaux, Jeanne and
William "Bill" Larson, Adriana and Renato
Pagano, Elna and Richard Hauck, and Joseph
Freilich. Extended visits to the three outstand-
ing mineralogical libraries of The Mineralogical
Record courtes}' of Wendell Wilson, Dona and
Wayne Leicht and Monika and Herbert Obodda
made it possible to fully describe thousands of
rare and otherwise unavailable works. The re-
cent work of Google in scanning the books of
several important libraries in to their Google-
Book project (http://www.books.google.com/)
has allowed for the inclusion of hundreds of ad-
ditional descriptions. A similar on-line effort by
Microsoft in digitizing volumes from the British
Library will in the future perhaps allow for even
more volumes to be described.
Linda Winograd and Hugh Saunders
helped secure photocopies of title pages of rare
items from The United States Geological Li-
brary, Reston, Virginia, and The British Li-
brary, London, England, respectively, which al-
lowed for their transcriptions to be included.
Other collectors who have provided facsimile
title pages and descriptions of their books in-
clude Petr Sztacho, Ann and Si Fraizer, Mary
Murphy, Eric Asselborn, Gilbert Gautier, John
Sinkankas, Lawrence Conklin, and Auréle La
Rocque. Unexpectedly, Johan Kjellman of the
Department of Earth Sciences, Upsala Univer-
sity, Stockholm, Sweden, having heard of this
project spent a tremendous amount of time and
supplied an outstanding number of fully de-
scribed entries dealing with Swedish mineral-
ogy and crystallography. Each of his contribu-
tions in the biobibliography is happily signed
with his name.
A number of booksellers and auction
houses have generously answered queries and
supplied information about books they have
held in inventory. These include Antiquri-
aat Junk, Wheldon & Wesley, Ltd., Bernard
Quaritch, Ltd., Zeitlin & Ver Brugge, H.P.

Chambers, Antiquariaat Theo de Boer, W.P.
Watson Antiquarian Books (Rick Watson), A.

son), The Gemmary (Faye and Rick Blanken-
horn), Merk's Jade (Roger Merk), Sotheby's,
Christie's, Henry Sotheran, Ltd., Reiss & Sohn,
and F. Zisska & R. Kistner. Special atten-
tion must be given to the booksellers Jonathan
Hill, New York City, New York, Antiquar-
iat Andreas Müller, Waldems-Reichenbachand,
Germany, and Mary and Ed Rogers, Poncho
Springs, Colorado, who have at every oppor-
tunity supported this project. Additionally,
the dealer catalogs of all these firms and many,
many other booksellers of past years have pro-
vided citations to obscure references, as well
as other bibliographical details of mineralogi-
cal and crystallographical books.
Financial assistance in the form of a grant
and several gifts helped defer travel and inci-

dental expenses in conducting the research for
this book. In 1996, the Geo- Literary Society
showed its support for the Biobibliography by
providing a grant. In addition, monetary gifts
were received from several individuals who wish
to remain anonymous. I hope that the finished
project is worth}' of their early support.
Over the decades this project has pro-
gressed, numerous librarians have taken an in-
terest in the project and have arranged for title
page reproductions and addressed other biobib-
liographical matters. It is impossible to men-
tion them all because many remain nameless
through the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) process.
However, several librarians have consistently
given help when it was requested, and spe-
cial thanks are given to Dona Diriam of The
Richard T. Liddicoat Library, Gemological In-
stitute of America and Leslie Overstreet of The
Smithsonian Libraries.
Visits to personally examine the holdings
of several institutional libraries have also added
detailed information to the biobibliography.

Introduction
This work, Mineralogy S¿ Crystallography:
a Biobibliography, describes the lives and
books of many researchers that are important
to the development of these two sciences.
It includes information on works published
through December, 1919. This terminal
date was chosen because of its particular
significance in the development of the sciences
with regard to the spreading use of X-ray
diffraction techniques after World War I and
the disinterest of the compiler in nearly all
mineralogical books published after this date.
The works listed therefore, were first issued
between the earliest item described, Pliny's
Historia Naturalis (1st ed., Venice, 1469), and
December 31, 1919 — a span of 450 years.
Modern reprints of older titles first issued
during this period are also listed. In a few
instances the compiler has an appreciation for
a work first published after the terminal date,
and its description has been included for his
own amusement.
Headings of Entries
This is essentially an author catalog with bi-
ographical commentary and references head-
ing an annotated bibliography of the au-
thors minéralogie and crystallographic books.
The cataloging procedure followed is based on
that of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules
(AACR2)i 1 ] with minor modifications referred
to below.
Personal names. The principle of using for
the heading the most widely used form of
the name has been followed, but (a) medieval
names containing a forename are entered under
the forename, e.g. Albertus Magnus, not
"I M. Gorman and P.W. Winkler, Anglo-American
cataloguing rules. Second edition. London, The Library
Association, 1978. [i]-xvii, 1-620 p.
Magnus, Albertus; (b) Latin or Greek forms if
commonly used are preferred to the vernacular,
e.g. Agrícola, Georgius, not Bauer, Georg;
(с) Westernized forms are used for Arabic
or other Oriental writers, e.g. Avicenna not
Ibn Sïna, Abu 'Ali Al-Husayn Ibn 'Abdallah.
Noblemen are entered under the title or family
name, whichever is the better known. Contrary
to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules practice,
names with umlauted vowels (ä, ë, ï, ö, ü and
y) are retained with the umlauts and inserted
into the sequence as though spelt as 'a', 'e',
'i', 'o', 'u' and 'y'. For further information
see Arrangement of Titles within this
introduction.
Anonymous and pseudonymous works. Where
a book was published anonymously, but the
authorship is known it is entered under the
name of the author. Occasionally, if a
pseudonym is better known, it is listed under
the pseudonym. All works attributed to a
single author, whether acknowledged or not,
are entered under the same main heading, i.e.
anonymous and pseudonymous works are not
separated from those in which the author's
true name appears, as they are in the British
Library Catalogue (BLC in the reference
list). Where authorship is indicated only by
unidentified initials, the last initial excluding
any abbreviated designation such as M.D. is
used for the heading. Works for which the
author is unknown are listed under the first
substantive words of the title.
Spurious works. Works falsely attributed to
an author are arranged following the author's
genuine works but under a separate heading
consisting of the author's name preceded by the
word 'Pseudo', e.g. pseudo Aristotle. This
does not apply to writings which are generally
included in the corpus of an author's work but
are of doubtful authenticity. These works are
arranged under the main heading but with a
Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography & History
by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi]
NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 23, 2007
Introduction
distinctive subheading, e.g. Supposititious and
Doubtful Works.
Dissertations. The Anglo-American Code is
followed in preference to the standard adopted
in the British Library Catalogue, i.e. the main
entry for a dissertation is entered under the
name of the 'Praesesidium' rather than that
of the 'Respondent.' Cross-references are then
provided from the 'Respondent' to the main
entry of the Praesesidium through the name
index.
Joint authors. The main entry for a work is
entered under the senior author (usually listed
first on the title page). Cross-references are
then provided from all subsequent authors to
this main entry. In a few cases when a work
is known to be the result of a junior author's
labor, the main entry is placed under the name
of the junior author, and cross-references are
provided from all other authors. For example,
Brooke & Miller's An Elementary Introduction
to Mineralogy (London, 1852) is listed under
Miller's corpus based on information supplied
by Brooke in the preface. A cross-reference to
Miller is then supplied under Brooke's entry.
Corporate and group headings. In addition
to the usual corporate headings (e.g. George
English & Co.), two special group headings
are employed simply to bring together like
material which would otherwise be difficult to
trace in an author catalog, e.g. (a) Catalogs
of Mineral Collections, a heading chosen for
a class of items that effectively was the creation
of the collector, who is usually not the author
of the catalog. Cross-references are given to
the full entry; (b) Journals and Periodicals,
under which heading are listed the titles of
all regularly published serials described in
the bibliograplry, with cross-references to their
main entry.
Cross-references. Reference is made from
alternative forms of the name to the one
adopted for the main heading. Names with
prefixes are normally entered according to the
Anglo-American Code, unless an exception is
made because some alternative form appears
to be more widely accepted. Cross-reference
from the part(s) of name not used for entr)^
is omitted, except where it can be used to
clarifj' where in the sequence an author is
entered. References from Arabic forms are
kept to a minimum because (a) the Westernized
form which was commonly used in Renaissance
Europe is familiar to Oriental scholars, and
others are more likely to seek the writings of
these authors immediateby under the Western
name; (b) the complexity of Arabic names
makes cross-reference of little use unless it is
done on a scale which is only practicable in
a very large work such as that of the British
Library Catalogue. Cross-references within the
main body of the text have been keep to a
minimum. However, the names of editors,
translators, and others contributing in any form
to a work, including printers and publishers
may be found in the comprehensive name index
provided at the end of the Biobibliography.
For further information, see the section labeled
Indexes below.
Entry Description
Biography
The main entry consists of a name, either
personal or corporate, or the first words of a
work published anonymously.
Personal Names. If the main entry consists of a
persons name (most common), the full name of
the individual is provided, as much as possible
in agreement with the standard biographies
available to the compiler (see References
for a complete list). When discrepancies
arose, national biographies pertinent to the
individual's native-land took precedence for
the correct spelling of the name. If the
individual in question could not be located
in any such biography (s), the spelling of
the name as used b)^ The National Union
Catalogue (NUC in the reference list) took
precedence, followed in turn b}' Тле British
Library Catalogue and then the Catalogue
Général des Livres Imprimés de la Bibliothque
Nationale (BLC and CBN respectively in
the reference list). Cross-references from
name variants were then established back
to the main entry. The personal name is
followed by the places and dates of birth
and death enclosed in parentheses. The
word Born precedes information indicating
birth data, while the term Death precedes
death data. The nationality and occupation(s)

Introduction
of the individual is then provided. A
condensed biographical portrait of the person is
then given, emphasizing various mineralogical
aspects of the life. Listed at the end
are citations to published obituaries and
biographies where further biographical detail
may be found. For the more famous
of the researchers, these lists are not
necessarily exhaustive. For example, there
is a tremendous body of seconday literature
concerning Linneaus and the citations listed in
his biography, although numerous, are by no
means complete. Within the references, notice
is also given of published portaits and other
likenesses of the author and comprehensive
bibliographies covering the individual that have
come to the compiler's attention.
Commercial Firms. If the main entr} r consists of
the name of a commercial firm, the full name
of the сотрапз' is given. This is followed by
information giving details, as much as thejr are
known, of the firms history and proprietors.
At the end are listed references where further
information may be researched.
Museums. If the main entr}' consists of the
name of a museum, the city and country where
the museum is located is given, followed by the
full name of the museum. This is followed by
details, as much as they can be ascertained, of
the history of the body, including the date of
founding. At the end are listed citations where
further information ma} r be researched.
Societies and Organizations. If the main entry
consists of the name of a society or other
organized body, the city and country where the
society was organized is given. This is followed
by the full name of the society or organization.
This is followed by details, as much as the)' can
be ascertained, of the history and membership
of the society. At the end are listed citations
where further information та} г be researched.
Anonymous Titles. If a work is listed that has
an unknown author, the first substantive words
of the title will be used to create its heading.
No other information will be provided in the
heading of the entry.
Bibliography
A listing of mineralogical and crystallographi-
cal books authored by the subject follows the
heading entry. The most important source for
this section has of course been the close exam-
ination of the books themselves. For this the
resources of several private and public libraries
have been invaluable (see Acknowledgements
for a list). The next best source for entries have
been photocopies of the title pages of the var-
ious works, while the remainder of the entries
were gathered from many general and special-
ized bibliographies as well as the internet and
a large selection of bookseller catalogs.
Description of Bibliographical Entries
The most complete bibliographic entries are
those where a copy of the listed title
has been carefully examined, while less
complete descriptions occur for those works
not actually examined. The design of
the bibliography was derived after reviewing
hundreds of bibliographies on a wide variety of
subjects. In addition, a relatively recent book
on bibliography design helped avoid several
pitfalls.! 2 ] The format chosen to describe
the individual titles is a combination of the
ideas presented in the bibliographic manuals
of Bowers,! 3 ! EsdaileM GaskellŒ and
McKerrow.t 6 ! The most complete form of an
entry consists of the following features.
Entry Number. Each title listed in the
bibliography is given a unique number. These
start at 1 and increment for each title listed
through out the whole bibliography.
Language(s) and Year(s). Publication language
and year in which the title appeared. Other

Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography & History
by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi]
NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 23, 2007
Introduction
editions and issues are usually listed as separate
entries under the same author.
Edition and Translation Note. Following the
Language (s) and Year(s) and enclosed in square
brackets is a short note indicating either
edition or translation information about the
forthcoming title.
Title. The title as it was originally printed
is given. If a cop}' of the title page
has been examined it is represented in
quasi-facsimile transcription as accurately as
possible. Punctuation and accent marks have
been reproduced as best as possible, as have
special characters such as 1, 'Ц., Ъ, О, Г, 0,
а, е, у, X, and ß. Spelling as it appears
on the title page has been copied exactly.
Vertical bars " I " indicate the end of a line
within the title. Printed errors in the title are
followed by a comment of the form [!]=mistake
or [sic]=as written. Extraneous descriptions or
comments relevant to the format of the title are
enclosed in square brackets. Common examples
include [short rule], [rule], [double rule], and
[ornament] .
Format. The pagination of the book(s)
begins with reference to the predominant
number of leaves in a single section. For
example, 2°=folio, 4°=quarto, 8°=octavo,
12°=duecimo, etc. The format is ended by a
colon ":".
Collation. In older books it was common for
the printer to add some mark on the various
folded section of a book to facilitate the
gathering of the signatures in correct order so
they could be bound up. These marks were
usually a number or a letter or a combination
thereof. In this bibliography the gatherings
are listed after the format. Following standard
bibliographic practice, the Greek character Pi
p is used to indicate a book's preliminary
unsigned leaves and the Greek character Chi
с indicates unsigned leaves within the body
of the book. However, in difference from
common practice the collations presented do
not attempt to account for all pages of a
signiature. Rather the collations given account
for pages in a book with printing on them.
Leave Count. After the collation, the absolute
count of leaves is given. This is useful
in determining if the collation matches the
pagination. For example, the collation provides
a formulae of the leaf count, whose total if
multiplied by 2 must equal the page count as
given by the pagination. If they don't equate, a
discrepancy exists in one or the other or both!
For example, the collation p 2 a-c 8 d 3 says there
are 2+8+8+8+3=29 leaves contained in the
book, which means there should be 29x2=58
pages.
Pagination. A short hand description of the
numbering that occurs on the pages is given.
Items enclosed in square brackets are assumed
and do not actually appear on the page. If
appropriate, descriptive material noting the
number of plates, maps, tables, etc. will end
the pagination of each volume.
Page Size. The size of the title page measured in
millimeters is provided. Measurement is done
first along the length of the page, then across
the width. The length of the title is defined to
be perpendicular to the reading direction of the
text on the title page.
Contents. Each book is unique in the method
the author and/or publisher has elected to
order the information. The contents provides
a description of this arrangement. However, it
is not meant to be an exhaustive page by page
account of the books information. Rather this
is an overview of the major sections contained
within the volume (s), with the beginning and
ending pages indicated or in some cases the
beginning and ending leaves. Descriptions
enclosed in quotes are derived directly from
the first page indicated, while those not in
quotes are the compilers interpretation of the
intended content. Any comments included by
the compiler are enclosed in square brackets.
Plates, Tables and Maps. In some books
where it is not possible to describe the
illustrations depicted on the plates easily, a list
of the individual or groups of plates will be
provided. Maps and tables when the}' represent
a substantial portion of the volume(s) will also
be treated in a similar fashion.
Rarity. An attempt is given to provide an idea
of the relative rarity of the title listed. This is
subjective information based on a wide range
of characteristics, such as the book's language,
date of publication, frequency of listings in
bookseller catalogs, and the collective holding
Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography & History
by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi]
NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 23, 2007
Introduction
in public and private United States, British,
and European libraries, etc. Several categories
are provided to distinguish rarity, i.e. Only
copy known =only one copy traced, Extremely
rare=2-5 copies traced, Very rare=6-12
copies traced, Rare=13-22 copies traced, Very
scarce=23-32 copies traced and ScARCE=more
than 33 copies traced.
Commentary. The commentary describes the
importance (if any) of the title to the
history and development of mineralogy or
crystallography. Inclusion may be made of a
contents summary, quotations from the work,
translation of the title, publishing history,
descriptions of notable illustrations, etc.
Other Editions, Translations & Reprints. For
books that went through man}' editions or
were reprinted after 1919, this section will
provide the pertinent information about the
title. In addition, titles that have only minor
mineralogical information, but had multiple
editions or translations, will use this section to
list other variations of the book. Usually, this
consists of a short title, place of publication,
year and pagination. Rarely, a full description
with commentai'}' will be provided.
References. If a particular title is important to
the development of either science, other authors
will most likely have written about the book,
and its place in history. In addition, various
library catalogs or bibliographies may include
the title. Citations to these other writings will
appear in this position. Reference to book
reviews is also given here. If no reference to
the described title has been found, References
will not appear at the end of the commentary.
Arrangement of Titles
The headings in the Biobibliography are in a
single alphabetical order and consist primarily
of the names of the authors of the various
works. Headings such as those used for
anonymous works, periodicals, journals, official
institutions, museums, mineral collectors,
dealers, societies, or other national bodies are
included in the same alphabetical sequence.
Frequent use is made of cross references when
a particular entry could be searched for under
different headings.
Roman Alphabets
Names originally written in a Roman alphabet
language retain all diacritical marks and special
characters as they would if written in their
native language. To simplify the location of
a particular name, all accented characters fall
into the same alphabetical sequence as if they
were not accented. Thus á=a, ç=c, ê=e, í=i,
ô=o, ò=o, ü=u, etc. Contrary to Anglo-
American Cataloguing Rules practice, there is
no exception to this rule for the umlauted
vowels, ä, ë, ï, ö, ü and y. When one or
more of these characters appears in a name,
each occurrence of the vowel is treated in the
alphabetical sequence as though it is a normal
letter. Thus, ä=a, ë=e, ï=i, ö=o, ü=u and y=y.
The old use of a superscripted "e" above
a letter to indicate an umlauted vowel has
been retrained in the title transcriptions. Thus
for transcription to a modern convention, å=ä,
ë=ë, o=ö, ú=ü and y=y.

Table 1
Non- Roman Alphabets
Names originally written in the Russian, Be-
lorussian or Bulgarian languages and utiliz-
ing the Cyrillic alphabet have been translit-
erated to the roman alphabet. There are a
number of tables available for the purpose of

bibliography is also used by the Library of
Congress for transliterating Russian with di-
acritical marks.! 7 ! A representation of the
transliteration table used within the Biobibli-
ography is presented in Table 1.
In addition, there are certain letter
combinations, usually occurring at the end
of a Russian word, that convert to specific
sequences in English. For this purpose specific
conversions were used (see Table 2).

Table 2
Order under the Main Heading
For individual works and collections (including
analytical entries) the order is chronological by
date of publication (entries of the same date
being arranged alphabetically by title), but all
versions of the same work or collection are
grouped together. Such groups are arranged
by language, the order of languages being
chronological by date of publication of the
earliest entry in each. Under each language
the arrangement is (a) original editions, if
more than one, in chronological order; (b)
translations, if more than one, in chronological
order; (c) editions of the same language in
chronological order; (d) specific cross-references
in alphabetical order. See Figure 1 for a
diagram of the general scheme.
Within entries, general cross-references are
arranged in alphabetical order, but multiple
references to a single heading main entry are
condensed to a single cross-reference. In a
few cases where a very substantial number of
entries appear under a single heading, such as
under Pliny, titles are grouped in a special
way, usually according to the order adopted in
the standard editions of the complete works of
l ' J.T. Shaw, The transliteration of modern Russian
for English language publications. Madison, Univ. of
Wisconsin Press, 1967.
the author. A summary of the arrangement
will be found at the beginning of each of these
groups. There are also a few cases where
minor variations occur, these are indicated by
subheadings within the body of the entry.

Indexes (not implemented)
To facilitate the use of this Biobibliography,
a series of comprehensive indexes has been
provided at the end. In order to make
maximum use of the index, when a citation
refers to a bibliographic title entry, reference
is back to the titles entry number in the
list. In the case of references back to a main
biographical entry, the page number, rather
than an item number is used in the index.
The page number is distinguished from an item
numeral by the application of a bold font. The
individual indexes are described below.
Indexes of Towns and Printers. These list under
each country the various places of publication
and the names of the printers and publishers.
It is hoped that these very extensive indexes
will prove a useful contribution to the study of
Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography & History

NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 23, 2007
printing and mineralogical publishing from the
fifteenth to the early twentieth century.
Index to Anonymous Works. When a work
published anonymously can be attributed to
a known author, it has been entered in that
authors bibliography. However, a collector,
bookseller or librarian, actually examining
the work may not know the actual author.
Therefore this index of short titles with
references to the main entry is provided to
facilitate their lookup.
Name Index. This is a comprehensive index
to all names mentioned throughout the body
of the Biobibliography. The names are
listed in a single alphabetical sequence with
cross-references from name variants included.
Authors, translators, contributors, editors,
printers, publishers, artists, engravers and
other incidental names are listed in a single
sequence, with reference to the page or entry
where mention is made.
Subject Index. This is an index to subjects
mentioned throughout the body of the Biobib-
liography.

Peder Abildgaard
ABILDGAARD, Peder Christian. (Born: Copen-
hagen, Denmark, 22 December 1740; DIED: Copen-
hagen, Denmark, 11 January 1801) Danish physician
& naturalist.
Abildgaard was the son of S0ren [see next entry].
He was educated at the Veterinarian School in Lyon. He
authored many works on medicine, zoology, etc., and gave
in 1796 a description of the Megatherium at the same
time as Georges Cuvier. Abildgaard was a secretary of
the Academy of Sciences, Copenhagen, and he founded
and directed the Veterinary School of Copenhagen. In
mineralogy he was the first to examine and report on the
mineral species Cryolite found in Greenland.

Ueber Norwegische Titanerze und eine neue

Dänischen übersetzt von Moritz Heinrich Mendel.

8°: 10 p.
VERY RARE. First separate appearance in German
translation by Moritz Heinrich Mendel [see note below]
of the article "Om Norske Titanertser och om en
nye Steenart Kryolith fra Gr0nland, som bestaar
af Flusspatsyre og Alunjord" (see: Videnska bernes
Selskabs Skrifter (Danske), 3 (1800), 305-316). The
text describes two mineral species: (1) sphene crystals
found in Norway, and (2) the new mineral species
cryolite found in Ivigtut, Greenland. Abildgaard was
the first researcher to examine the mineral samples
brought back from Greenland by Andrade and named
the new species he discovered Kryolith or Iissteen (from
the Greek KpDOO" meaning ice). Abildgaard performed
chemical analysis of the minerals and found that cryolite
contained aluminum and hydrofluoric acid.
Moritz Heinrich Mendel. (BORN: Breslau, Germany,
1777; DIED: Breslau, Germany, 3 December 1813) German
physician. Mendel received his medical degree in 1811, and
he was named professor of the new University in Breslau.
He became director of the cities medical clinic and was
named an advisor on medical subjects. However, his life
was cut short when while fighting an outbreak of typhus,
he contracted the disease.

VERY SCARCE. A visit to the chert and fossil
bearing chalk beds of Stevn Klint situated south of
Copenhagen along Denmark's Baltic coast prompted
Abildgaard to write in 1759 the first geological account
of this interesting formation. Dedicating the book
to King Frederick the Fifth, a description of the
area is provided, including mineralogical and chemical
observations on the chert nodules, fossil shells and the
surrounding material. Abildgaard speculates that the
chert is actually petrified soil. At the end of the volume
are bound three plates engraved from the author's
original drawings that show panoramas of the beds and
on plate 3, various fossil shells found in the strata.
Abildgaard also indicates he plans to write another
book describing a similar formation in M0ns, which
was published as Physisk-A'íineraiogiskBeskriveíseover
Moens Klint (K0penhagen, 1781) [which see entry
below].
Modern geochemical research on specimens from
Stevn Klint, a famous and classic formation, show that
at the Cretaceous- Tertiary boundary, there is a high
saturation of iridium and gold. This together with
the presence of meteoric proportions of other metals
provides further evidence of an asteroidial impact in
the earth's distant past.

In 1793, Accurn moved to London, where in 1800, he
established a laboratory and laboratory supply business.
He became the scientific lecturer at the Surrey Institute in
1803, and was hired as an advocate for the use of gas in
lighting. Through this connection, he became a "practical
chemist" for the London Gaslight Company in 1812. A
position as librarian for the Royal Institution proved to be
ACCUM
a disaster when his enemies accused him of damaging the
books. This made Accum an outcast in London scientific
circles, and as a result he had to reestablish himself in
Berlin in 1822. From 1822 to 1838 he was a professor at
the Gewerbe-Institute in Berlin. Accurn held membership
in the Royal Irish Academy, the Linnean Society of London
and the Royal Academy of Sciences, Berlin.

SCARCE. This is a popular-style textbook
describing the techniques used in the chemical
determination of minerals. The preface gives the
impression that the book was available only to pupils
attending Accum's lectures, including the Americans
Benjamin Silliman and William Peck; however, it
appears to be common for this to be true. After a
short description of the apparatus and general technique
of mineral analysis, the first part of the book briefly
describes the methods for analyzing the ores of twenty-
two metals. The second part of the treatise is devoted to
the analysis of the so-called earths, which in reality are
natural oxide compounds of silica, aluminum, calcium,
magnesium, strontium, barium, etc. This section also
contains an interesting chemical examination of various
soils. Part three discusses the analysis of mineral salts
and the fourth part the examination of inflammable
fossils or coal.

SCARCE. This greatly enlarged book is a second
edition of A Practical Essay on the Analysis of Minerals
(London, 1804). Written in the author's eloquent and
comfortable style, this work appeared in an era when
mineralogical pursuits were a popular pastime throughout
the British Isles, and this book no doubt helped cultivate
that popularity.
The book begins with a dedication to RICHARD
KlRWAN the great Irish mineralogist who by 1808 had
probably ceased any activity in mineralogy. The preface
then describes Accum's surprise at having the first edition
sell out in 18 months. This of course spurred the
preparation of this new edition. It has been completely
rewritten and greatly enlarged by the inclusion of long
quotations from MARTIN HEINRICH Klaproth's Analytical
Essays (English trans., London, 1801-4) and the writings of
other mineralogists and chemists. In fact, fully half of the
text of the present volumes are the product of other authors
that are liberally quoted to illustrate principles developed
by Accum.
The book is arranged along the lines of the
former edition. It contains concise descriptions for
the analysis of metallic ores, earths, stones and other
minerals. Numerous detailed instructions help guide
beginners through mineralogical analysis. The following
text is divided into six parts. The first provides a
general introduction to mineralogy, including definitions,
descriptions of mineral substances, reagents and necessary
equipment. Broad views of the mineralogical classifications
of Werner and Haüy are then given. Included are table
representations based upon two broadsides outlining these
classifications methods that had been published about
1805. Accum's use of these earlier publications perhaps
point to him as their anonymous author. Part two describes
the tests and procedures necessary for analyzing minerals
for any of the 25 metals then known. Part three, which
opens volume two, describes the analysis of earths and
stones. Part four describes the process for analyzing
mineral and native salts. Part five describes the same for
inflammable fossils, while part six covers mineral waters.
The work concludes with a description of the two plates.

Scarce. The first independent textbook
published in English to describe the crystallographic
theories of RENÉ Just HaÜY. The work is dedicated to
Earl Percy, Count Münster Meinhovel, Sir John Borlase
Warren and Sir John Saunders Sebright who were
among the students Accum taught. The text describes
in detail Haüy's ideas on crystallography. In 1784,
Haüy had first published his ideas in the Essai d'une
Théorie sur la. Structure des Crystaux (Paris, 1784).
In this work, Haüy brought together the advances
in crystallography made by Rome de l'Isle, Bergman
and others into a coherent structural theory, based
upon the idea of a microscopic "molecule integrante."
This polyhedral unit contained all the elements of the
macro crystal, and Haüy's model depicted crystals as
built up out of these molecular units. Haüy also
theorized a common "nucleus" or "primitive form"
for all crystals of the same mineral species. This
primitive form was thought to be revealed by cleavage
of a crystal symmetrically along its angles and edges.
Haüy's theory of crystal structure changed little in
its essentials during the remainder of his career, and
it is that theory that Accum describes in this work.
The text is illustrated with diagrams and four plates
which help describe principles outlined in the text.
Ever the businessman, Accum also includes at the end
an interesting sales catalog describing a wide variety
of mineralogical apparatus, including various crystal
models that Accum stocked in his Soho shop.

Accum circulated a one page advertisement, "Lectures

announcement of annual courses." The present work
is the syllabus to these lectures. It was enlarged and

VERY RARE. In 1809, Accum prepared Analysis
of a Course of Lectures on Mineralogy for a series
of courses he was preparing to present in 1810.
The described title is the textbook used during the
course. It appears to be an expanded version of the
aforementioned Analysis with more detail and wide
margins for students to scribble notes.

ACHARD
ACHARD, Franz Carl. (BORN: Berlin, Germany,
28 April 1753; DIED: Kunern near Breslau, Silesia,
Germany, 20 April 1821) German chemist.
Achard was hired as an aide to Andreas Sigismund
Marggraf [1709-1782] at the Academy of Sciences, Berlin
in 1776. After showing his merit as a chemist, he
was appointed director of the "Class of Physics" at
the Academy in 1782. Achard developed a comrnerical
process to extract sugar from beets, and his essays on the
process greatly contributed to promote the manufacturer
throughout Europe especially Germany and France. He
held membership in many learned bodies, including the
Royal Academy of Sciences at Berlin to which he was
elected in 1776.

VERY SCARCE. Among the earliest systematic
attempts at analyzing gemstones was Bestimmung der
Bestandtheile einiger Edelsteine. Sinkankas (1981)
notes that Achard performed essentially the same kind
of analysis as Bergman described the next year, and
for which Bergman has been given all credit; however,
Achard was not the careful technician Bergman was
and his results were badly contaminated. In this
work, Achard records his analyses of sapphire, ruby,
zircon, emerald, garnet, and Chrysoprase determined
the presence of silicon, calcium, magnesium, and iron
in his specimens, but as in the case of zircon where
the zirconium was completely overlooked, many of the
analyses are wrong (Partington). This carelessness was
due in most part to the analyses being conducted in
an iron crucible, which undoubtedly contaminated the
results, as well as the lack of experimental technique
of the author. Another paper, continuing Achard's
research, was published as "Chemische Untersuchungen
der Edelsteine" (see: Abhandlungen des Aíünchen
Akademie, 1800, 219-350).

SCARCE. This major topographical work covers
the important mining region of the Siebenburgen
located in present day Romania. In the first part of
the forward, Ackner outlines his goals and reasons for
writing this book. He notes that no previous work
had sufficiently described the mineralogical wonders
of the area. He qualifies this view by providing a
list of earlier titles, and outlining the comprehensive
treatment he plans. Ackner began work in 1844, which
is the first date of the forward. In the "Nachschrift"
that immediately follows, he recounts how the first Heft
of this book was published in 1847, and that it was
only after eight years of thorough research that the
volume was completed in 1855. The text is a descriptive
mineralogy in the arrangement of C.S. WEISS' system
of classification. Each species found in the region
is provided a description giving copious notes about
localities, associations, crystallography, and chemistry.

Acosta
1587 he was stationed in the West Indies and Provinzial in
Peru. He learned enough of both the Aymara and Quechua
languages to write a trilingual catechism in 1583. When he
returned to Europe, he was for a time assigned a post in
Rome, but finally returned to Spain as a rector at the Jesuit
college of Salamanca. For his writings which provided
detailed images of the physical and human geography of
Latin America, Acosta has been called the "Pliny of the
New World."

RARE. Acosta's most important scientific work,
Historia natural y moral de las Indias contains firsthand
observations on many diverse phenomena witnessed by
Acosta in the New World. Included are some of the
earliest descriptions of altitude sickness, the nature and
use of coca, farm techniques, crops, and domesticated
animals of America. Also included are descriptions
of Inca and Aztec history, religious observations, folk
customs, and statecraft. Acosta includes detail about
Mexican ideograms and Peruvian quipu and the Inca
postal system.
The text consists of 7 books of which the first
two are a Spanish translation of De Natvra Nova
Orbis Libri Dvo (1st ed., Salmanticae, 1589) which
was written during Acosta's stay in Perú, while the
remainder of the work was written after he returned
to Spain. Book 1 in 25 chapters discusses the sky,
the stars, the Poles, knowledge of the ancient world
of the New World, the land of Ophir, prophecies, the

RARE. This book is a classified catalog of the
splendid mineral collection of Adam, arranged in a
tabular manner with respect to physical properties
and chemical compositions. The headings for each
table give the name, crystal type, hardness, density,
fusibility, solubility, composition and formula. An index
facilitates the lookup of specific species. The work
ends with a list of references consulted. Originally
the text was published in Annales des Mines (see: 15,
1869, 405-626). However, to create the book, the text
was corrected, additional information added and the
format changed so that the individual tables occupy a
single page rather than being divided at the center as
occured in the original article. That Adam carefully
examined his specimens is clearly demonstrated by
his discovery and description in this book of the
still recognized mineral species: aerugite, chenevixite,
corkite, cuprotungstite, scacchite, and xanthiosite.

ADAMS, Frank Dawson. (Born: Montreal, Quebec,
Canada, 17 September 1859; DIED: Montreal, Quebec,
Canada, 29 December 1942) Canadian geologist.
Adams was educated at McGill University, receiving
his M.A. in 1884 and a Ph.D. in 1902, and at the University
of Heidelberg recieving a Ph.D. in 1892. After serving some
time on the staff of the Canadian Geological Survey, Adams
was appointed lecturer in geology at McGill University,
and in 1893 professor of geology. In 1908 he took on the
position of dean of the faculty of applied science at the
University and for a time the role of vice principal and
as acting principal were also his. Adams was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1896 and of the
Royal Society of London in 1907. He was president of
the International Geological Society in 1913, and of the
Geological Society of America in 1918. Adams was the
author of many papers dealing with the igneous rocks of
North America and the effects of temperature and pressure
on those rocks. Towards the end of his life, he also wrote
A History of Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal (Montreal,
1941).

SCARCE. This famous text traces the history of
the geological sciences from Greek and Roman times,
through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and up to
the mid- 19th century of the modern era. It is not a
dry recitation of obsolete ideas but a truly fascinating
account of how dozens of curious, colorful systems
evolved into modern geology, and its subfields.
In his treatment of the subject, Adams discusses
the work of over 300 different authorities, analyzing
in detail the ideas of such researchers as William
Smith, Agricola, Geikie, Hutton, Werner, Aristotle,
Becher, Cuvier, Kircher, and many others. He recounts
the birth of modern mineralogy, paleontology and
historical geology; treats the origin of metals and their
ores, mountains and earthquakes, springs and rivers;
describes Becher's metallic tree at the center of the
earth, Greek concepts of vulcanology, Sherley's view
that metals grow from seeds, da Vinci's theory of fossils,
and many other quaint stories and beliefs that delight
any reader interested in geology or mineralogy.

dissertation on the paths of falling bodies. In 1757, he
settled in St. Petersburg, where he had become a member
of the Academy of Sciences in 1755, as well as a professor
of physics. He possessed great skill as an experimenter,
which he applied to discovering and testing the electrical
properities of tourmaline. He was particularly struck by
the similarity between the magnet and the tourmaline
with regard to polarity. He authored, Tentamen Theorise
Electritaitis et Magnetismi (1759), "one of the most original
and important books in the history of electricity. It is the
first reasoned, fruitful exposition of electrical phenomena
based on action-at-a-distance" (DSB).

(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of

du Duc de Noya Caraffa à M. de Buffon" (1759) both
dealing with the properties of tourmaline are reprinted
with commentary by Aepinus.
Having been inspired by the electrical theories
of Benjamin Franklin, Aepinus began experimenting
with electricity. Eventually, he turned his attention
to the tourmaline stone which was thought to produce
a positive and negative electrical charge when heated.
Upon experimenting with a large stone, Aepinus proved
to his satisfaction the mineral did create electricity
when sufficiently heated. He became entranced with
this pheonemon which he compared to the dipolar
behavior of magnets.

AGASSIZ, Jean Louis Rodolphe. (Born: Motier-en-
Vuly, Fribourg, Switzerland, 28 May 1807; DIED: Cam-
bridge, Massacheusetts, U.S.A., 14 December 1873)
Swiss/American physician, zoologist & geologist.
Agassiz was educated in France, Switzerland and
Germany, receiving an M.D. from the University of
Heidelberg in 1826 and a Ph.D. from the University of
Erlangen in 1829. He conducted zoological research under
GEORGES Cuvier and became professor of natural history
at the University Neuchatel, Switzerland (1832-46). In
1846, he came to America teaching at Yale and Harvard.
Agassiz became an American citizen in 1862, and settled
in Cambridge as a professor of zoology at Harvard. He was
a founding member of the National Academy of Sciences.
As a professor he trained many outstanding zoologists and
geologists of the next generation.

SCARCE. This important early bibliography lists
all the titles known to the author and editors pertaining
to zoology and geology from the earliest times to almost
the time of publication. The text is in two parts. The
first part (vol. 1, pp. 1-86) lists periodicals and other
sources consulted, while the second is the bibliography
proper, arranged alphabetically by author. The entries
are abbreviated, with little detail, as is expected in a
work of this scope. However, it is a valuable source for
information on early works.

AGRÍCOLA, Georgius. (BORN: Glauchau, Saxony,
Germany, 24 March 1494; DIED: Chemnitz, Saxony,
Agrícola
Germany, 21 November 1555) German physician,
mineralogist & mining expert.
From 1518 to 1522, Agrícola studied medicine and
chemistry at Bologna, Venice and Padua. He then taught
the classics at the Municipal School, Zwickau, Saxony. In
1527, he moved to Joachimsthal, Czechoslovakia, where he
opened a medical practice. In this locality, with the mining
activities of the surrounding area impacting his daily life,
Agrícola began to study mining techniques and mineralogy.
After an appointment in 1533 as official historian for the
principality of Saxony, which included an annual stipend,
Agrícola moved again. He relocated his medical practice to
Chemnitz in Saxony. There he became a civic leader which
lead to his being elected mayor of the town in 1546, 1547,
1551, and 1553. Agrícola was one of the extraoridinary
scientists of his age. His texts on medical diseases suffered
by miners were innovative for the time, and for his works
that dealt with mining and mineralogy, he was labeled "The
father of mineralogy" by no less than ABRAHAM GOTTLOB
Werner.

VERY RARE. Bermannus, sive De Re Metallica.
Dialogue is Agricola's first published work in relation
to mining. The text of this work is in the form of a
dialogue between "Bermannus," who is described as a
miner, mineralogist, poet, and student of mathematics,
and "Nicolaus Ancón" and "Johannes Neavius," both
scholars and physicians. The main theme of the
dialogue is the correlation of minerals mentioned by the
ancient authors and those found in the Saxon mines.
The three conversationalists wonder through the mines
and discuss matters that come to their attention. There
is no systematic or logical arrangement to the text,
therefore. Occassionally, statements of historical or
technical interest are included. The mineralogial part,
while of importance for giving the first description of
several minerals such as bismuth, is much improved in
De Natura. Fossilium (1st ed., Basileae, 1546).

RARE. Translation by Johann Gottlieb Stör [see
note below] of Bermannus (Basileas, 1530). This is the
first translation into a modern language of Agricola's first
writing. There is no information as to why the translation
was undertaken, or why it was published 15 years after the
translator's death.
Johann Gottlieb Stör. (BORN: Engelsdorf near Leipzig,
Germany, 24 November 1705; DIED: Leipzig, Germany, 5
September 1763) German mining law expert. Stör attended
the schools of Grimma and studied theology and metallurgy
at the University of Leipzig, graduating in 1729. In 1741 , he
was awarded an advanced degree in law from the University

VERY SCARCE. This is a collected edition of
Agricola's works on mineralogy, geology and mining. It
consists of six separate treatises, several of which appear
in print for the first time.
[A]. De Ortu & Causis Subterraneorum in five
books has always been published in the company of
other works. This is Its first appearance. The
work consists of five books that contain Agricola's
philosophical views on geological phenomena. The
major portion of this text is a refutation of the
geological ideas of the ancient philosophers, the
alchemists and the astrologers. It displays Agricola's
wide ranging knowledge of the classic authors and his
ability in observation and dialectics. But it is when
Agricola presents his own ideas that new territory was
established in science.
Book I is devoted to a discussion of the origin
and distribution of ground water and mineralizing
jucies. The last portion of this book and that of Book
II consider the origin of subterranean heat that he
attributes to burning coal and sulfur and the friction
subterranean winds against the walls of caves. Book III
is devoted to the origin of ore channels, while Books IV
&£ V describe in summary the principal divisions of the
mineral kingdom as given in De Natura Fossilium.
[В]. De Natura Eorum quee Effiuunt ex Terra in
four books also appears here here for the first time. As
the title indicates this is a discussion of substances that
flow from the earth, such as water, bitumen, gases, etc.
The major portion refers to color, taste, temperature,
medicinal uses of water, and descriptions of rivers, lakes,
swamps, and aqueducts. In the shadow of Agricola's
other writings, it is a valueless and totally uninteresting
treatise.
[C]. De Natura Fossilium in ten books is Agricola's
most important statement on mineralogy. It has always
been printed in combination with other works, and this
is its first edition.
De Natura Fossilium is an epoch work often
cited as the publication that marked the beginning
of mineralogy as a science. In this work, Agricola
approached the study of mineral substances in a
naturalistic way. He rejected many myths associated
with gems, and the system of classification that
is inferred from his writings exhibits a degree of
generalization not found in earlier handbooks. It
is often considered the first attempt at systematic
mineralogy, the minerals being grouped into (1) earths,
like clay, ochre, etc., (2) stones like gems, semi— precious
and unusual as distinguished from rocks, (3) congealed
juices like salt, vitriol, alum, etc., (4) metals and
(5) compounds being homogenous mixtures of simple
substances and forming minerals like pyrite, galena, etc.
Agricola applied physical properties such as solubility,
fusibility, odor, taste, color, etc to distinguish between
mineral varieties. He describes several varieties of earth,
and arranged the descriptions according to the purpose
for which they were used. Thus he speaks of earths
used by farmers as different from those used by potters,
sculptors, painters and physicians. This demonstrates
that he had an awareness of problems connected with
the classifying of similar substances. Agricola was
a practical man and his great contribution was to
mineral description. He codified much of the ancient
knowledge, but in the case of theoretical mineralogy
developed no new insights. References in contemporary
books show that soon after Agricola mineralogical works
were published, they were being cited as author atative
sources.
Book I describes the characteristics of minerals
such as color, brillance, taste, shape, hardness, etc.
Book II describes the earths and Book III reviews the
minerals made of congealed juices, and includes salt,
soda, potash, saltpetre, alurn, vitriol, orpiment, etc.
Book IV treats camphor, bitumen, coal, amber, etc.
Book V covers lodestone, bloodstone, gypsum, talc,
asbestos, mica, géodes and various fossils, flourite and
quartz. Book VI treats gems and other precious stones.
Book VII in on rocks like marble, serpentine, onyx,
alabaster, limestone, etc. Book VIII covers metals.

while Book IX describes various furnace observations
such as making brass, gilding, tinning and furnace
products like slag, copper flowers, etc. Book X covers
compounds that embrace the description of a number of
recognizable silver, copper, lead, quicksilver, iron, tin,
antimony and zinc minerals.
[D]. De Veteribus Sc Novis Metallis in two books is
a short work that also appears here in a first edition. It
describes mainly historical and geographical references
to the occurances of metals and mines. Agricola had
extracted this information from the Greek and Latin
classic texts as well as the history of mines in Central
Europe. The later material is the only original material,
and is unfortunately not very extensive.
[E]. Bermannus, sive De Re Metallica Dialogue in
one book was Agricola's first published work in relation
to mining, which was first published as an independent
work at Basel in 1530. In this new edition, Agricola
makes many important changes and adds some new
material, but later editions often reprint the text of the
1530 edition. The text of this work is in the form of
a dialogue between "Bermannus," who is described as
a miner, mineralogist and student of mathematics and
poetry, and "Nicolaus Ancón" and "Johannes Neavius,"
both scholars and physicians. The main theme of the
dialogue is the correlation of minerals mentioned by the
ancient authors and those found in the Saxon mines.
The three conversationalists wonder through the mines
and discuss matters that come to their attention. There
is no systematic or logical arrangement to the text,
therefore. Occassionally, statements of historical or
technical interest are included. The mineralogial part,
while of importance for giving the first description of
several minerals such as bismuth, is much improved in
De Natura. Fossilium.
[F]. Interpretatio Germanica uocum rei Metallicas
is a translation list of German equivalents for the Latin
mineralogical terms used by Agricola in his numerous
writing. It first appeared in the collected edition of
1546, being included in all subsequent editions. It
consists of about 500 mineralogical and metallurgical
terms in Latin, many of which were invented by Agricola
to clarify his explanations. This work is of great value
to the study of mineralogical nomenclature.

lator's describe Agricola's method of classifying minerals.
This is then followed by the translation proper. Notes scat-
tered throughout the text are intended to primarily help
the identification of minerals whose present names differ
from those used by Agricola. Occasionally, extracts from
Agricola's Bermannus (Basileas, 1530), an introductory
work on mining, have been included to add clarity to the
translation.

Mark Chance Bandy. (BORN: Redfield, Iowa, U.S.A.,
22 July 1900; DIED: Wickenburg, Arizona, U.S.A., 3 June
1963) American mining engineer & geologist. Bandy was
educated in mining engineering and geology at Drake
University (B.S., 1922), Columbia University (M.A., 1923),
and Harvard (Ph.D., 1938). He worked as an engineer
with Bethlehem Steel (1927-8), the Chile Exploration Co.,
(1929-34), and the Patino Mines (1936-47). He became
an engineer, chief geologist, and general manager with
ECA-Mining Engineers (1949-51) and general manager of
the Rhodesia Copper Ventures (1952-4). He lecturer at
St. Andrews University, Scotland in 1954-5. He was a
Fellow in the Society of Economic Geologists and a member
American Mineralogical Society, as well as an honorary
member of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain. The
mineral "Bandylite" was named in his honor in 1935. His
large and fine mineral collection accumulated through his
many travels was acquired in 1963 by the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County, where it is preserved today.

VERY SCARCE. This is the second edition of Agricola's
collected works on mineralogy, geology and mining, and it
is best edition being the last to be corrected and revised
by the author. It consists of six separate treatises that had

[A]. De Ortu &c Causis Subterraneorum in five books
has always been published in the company of other works.
Its first appearance was in 1546, in the first edition of
these collected treatises. However, in the present edition,
the text has been revised, with new material added by
Agrícola.

SCARCE. The first collected edition of Agricola's
works on mines, metallurgy, mineralogy and geology
creating in effect an opera omnia of his technological
writings. Contained therein are the fourth Latin editions
of De Re Metallica and De Animantibus Subterraneis, and the
sixth Latin editions of De Ortu S¿ Causis Subterraneorum,
De Natura eorum quse efñuunt ex Terra, De Natura Fossilium,
De Veteribus &: Novis Metallis, and Bermannus sive de Re
Metallica, Dialogus. The original woodcuts used in the
De Re Metallica (1st ed., Basileas, 1556) are a little worse
for wear after over a century of life and the pagination is
identical to the first printing since the 269 woodcuts have
to be accommodated by the text. Only the De Animantibus
Subterraneis had previously been published with the De Re
Metallica.

RARE, especially in complete sets. Under the
direction of the Freiberg publishing house of Craz &c
Gerlach, Ernst Lehmann [see note below] prepared this
translation of Agricola's mineralogical writings. The first
volume is a translation of De Ortv Et Cavsis Svbterraneorvm,
while the second is a rendering of De Natura Eorum. Quas
Eíñuunt Ex Terra, the third in two parts is of De Natura
Fossilium and the fourth is of De Veteribus Et Novis Metallis.
Lehman has added commentary notes to the text.
Ernst Johann Traugott Lehmann. (BORN: Baruth,
Germany, 10 March 1777; DIED: Freiberg, Germany, 6
December 1847) German mining expert. Lehmann held a
variety of positions in mining at Freiberg, before being
named an instructor and finally professor of mining at the
famous Bergakademie of the city. He authored a systematic
encyclopedia of mining science in 1804.

VERY SCARCE. De Re Metallica, is the first
systematic treatment of mining and metallurgy and one
of the most important technological volumes published
in the sixteenth century. Written by Agrícola over
the course of 20 years, the manuscript was probably
completed by 1550; however, the hundreds of woodcut
used for illustration delayed publication until after
Agricola's death. Everything known by Agrícola
concerning mining and metallurgical techniques is
contained therein, including sections on prospecting,
mine construction and administration, procedures for
the manufacture of glass, alum and sulfur. The volume
is further enhanced by the inclusion of two hundred and
seventy-three magnificent, large woodcut illustrations
by Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch depicting a large
variety of mine and refinery processes, including water
powered pumps, ore haulage, mine ventilation, furnace
stoking, ore transportation, etc.
A large number of minerals are mentioned by
Agrícola, including many like bismuth for the first time.
In addition, the mining and metallurgical processes
described and illustrated are still at there core used even
today. Also included are the author's last statement
in Book V of physical geology, including his theories
of the influence of water and wind on the shaping
of the landscape, and a rather clear account of the
stratification of rocks he saw within mines. His
description of how the action of water erodes the
landscape much in advance of his age.

VERY RARE. Translated by Philip Bech [see note
below] from De Re Metallica (Basiliœ, 1556), and containing
the same woodcut illustrations mostly by Rudolf Manuel
Deutsch as the original edition. The Elector Augustus
commanded that Agrícola have De Re Metallica rendered
into German so that the mine workers, who did not know
Latin, could make use of the work. It is a bad rendition,
by one who knew nothing of the science, and who had no
appreciation of the special Latin terms coined by Agrícola,
most of which he translated literally. For example, the
Hoover's call it "a wretched translation." But Bech,
whose translation it was, admitted in many a point I am
not satisfied with my translation. This is due to the
shortness of the time and because I have not translated
from Latin into German in former times. None the less,
the text of this German edition was reprinted essentially
unchanged in 1580 and again in 1621, with only new titles
and preliminaries. These German editions appear to be
much rarer than the Latin originals, no doubt owing to
the fact that most miners and metallurgists found it more
convenient to read the work in the vernacular.

First Italian edition, using the same Hans Rudolf Deutsch
woodcuts of Froben's Latin (1556, 1561) and German
(1557) editions. The translator's dedication to England's
Queen Elizabeth I (*2-*4) is usually not bound in. It
appears that copies of this work sold in Italy had these
leaves removed to avoid being censored as heretical. The
relationship between the translator and the printer Froben
is unknown.
Michelangelo Florio Fiorentino. (BORN: 1525; DIED:
1691) Italian translator. Fiorentino, an Italian Protestant
who fled Italy for England, was the father of the
Elizabethan writer John Florio [1553-1625], who produced
the famous Worlde oí Wordes. He was patronized by Sir
William Cecil and Cranmer, and produced several literary
works.

AGUILERA, José Guadelupe. (Born: Mapimí,
Durango, Mexico, 1857; DlED: Mexico City, Mexico,
1941) Mexican geologist.
In 1876, Aguilera moved to Mexico City to
obtain a degree in assaying from that city's school
of mines. While there he became proficient in the
chemical analysis of minerals and subsequently, he was
appointed custodian of the mineral and geology collections.
He actively collaborated in the Comisión Geográfico
Exploradora (founded 1878) and participated in the
geological explorations of the states of Oaxaca, Tlaxcala
and Puebla. In 1884, the government sent him to
the Smithsonian Institution in Washington for extended
studies. Upon his return, he was appointed to many
positions of leadership in the geological exploration of
Mexico. In 1886, Aguilera participated in the creation of
the Instituto Geológico Nacional; he was its director from
1895 to 1914. During his tenure, numerous publications
describing the geology of Mexico were published under the
oversight of the Instituto.

VERY SCARCE. Although dated, this work is
perhaps the fullest treatment of the minerals of Mexico,
giving a valuable catalog of the mineral species found
in the country. It was printed as Instituto Geológico
Mexico, Boletín No. 11. In it the minerals are arranged
according to the classification system presented in
Dana's System of Mineralog}' (6th ed., New York, 1892),
with individual localities within Mexico being given
fully in connection with each species. The book begins
with a prolog where the author explains that the large
quantity of mineral species found in Mexico made
the country an obvious candidate for a topographical
mineralogy. An overview of the mineralogical system
is then presented, followed by a list of mineral species
known to occur in Mexico together with their localities.
Another section reverses the order by first listing the
geographical location together with the species know
to occur there. The volume closes with a list of
abbreviations and an index to the species mentioned
in the catalog.

AIKIN, Arthur. (BORN: Warrington, Lancashire,
England, 19 May 1773; DIED: London, England, 15
April 1854) English chemist & mineralogist.
Aikin originally trained to be a Unitarian minister;
however, under the influence of the chemist Joseph Priestly
[1733-1804], he was convinced to persue a career in
chemistry and mineralogy. Aikin edited from 1803 to 1808
the Annual Review. He was a founding member of the
Geological Society of London, and for many years held
the position of its secretary. He was also secretary of the
Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and
Commerce and the first treasurer and later president of the
Chemical Society.

SCARCE. This is an account of an extensive
tour made by Aikin throughout northern Wales in the
summer of 1796. It was undertaken in part as a pleasent
excursion and also partly to increase the author's
mineralogical knowledge by examining the geological
formations encountered along the way. A great number
of mineralogical observations are included, but the
volume is also gives vivid descriptions of the grandeur
of the Welsh landscape, written in Aikin's familiar
style. The text is divided into nineteen chapters,
each describing observations made on a relatively short
journey from one town to another.

SCARCE. Co-authored with Charles Rochemont
Aikin [see note below]. "The intention has been to give
a faithful and sufficiently detailed description of all the
important facts hitherto discovered in the sciences of
Chemistry and Mineralogy, enlarging more particularly
on those parts which are of peculiar interest to the Man-
ufacturer and to the Practical Chemist." (Preface).
This work was written as a practical tool to guide
the manufacturer and chemist, having been inspired by
the Chimie Appliquée aux Arts of the French industrial
chemist, Jean- Antoine Chaptal [1756-1832]. There-
fore, almost all information regarding historical per-
spectives and theoretical matters, including medicine,
magenetism, galvantism, etc., has been omitted. De-
scriptions of the procedures are always guided by what
is known to work, with only slight speculation on the
reason why. For many years during the industrial pe-
riod, this was the premier dictionary in English on the
described subjects. An appendix was also published
[which see next entry].
Charles Rochemont Aikin. (BORN: Warrington,
Lancashire, England, 1775; DIED: London, England, 20
March 1847) English physician & chemist. Charles was the
brother of Arthur Aikin. He was a member of the Royal
College of Physicians and secretary of the London Medical
and Chirurgical Society.

SCARCE. This work was based upon lectures
Aikin delivered during the winter of 1814 before
members of the Geological Society of London. It
is written in a clear, lucid manner so that even
a beginner could gain insight to the science. The
introduction provides preliminary information about
the science of mineralogy, including definitions and
reasons why the science should be studied. An outline
of the classification system proposed by the author
is provided. This is followed by the descriptive
mineralogy, which takes up the remainder of the work.
The work deals principally with the procedures used
to identify mineral substances. The author describes
the properties that are peculiar to each mineral and
how they might be used to distinguish between similar
species. Aikin was one of the most accomplished
mineralogists of his time, and the easy narrative
he adopts throughout this work undoubtedly helped
popularize mineralogical studies.

ALBERTUS DE SAXONIA. (BORN: Saxony, Ger-
many, cl330; DIED: c1390) German theologian, philoso-
pher & naturalist.
Albertus was the son of a Saxon framer. He
graduated from the University of Ph.iín and whs appointed
the first Rector of the University of Vienna in 1365.
Then from 1366 to 1390 he was Bishop of Halberstadt in
Germany. As a logician, he was at the forefront of the
movement that expanded the analysis of language based
on the properties of terms, especially their reference (in
Latin: suppositio), but also in the exploration of new
fields of logic, especially the theory of consequences. As
a natural philosopher, he contributed to the spread of
Parisian natural philosophy throughout Italy and central
Europe. Because of the authority of his name, the pseudo-
Albertus Magnus work, Liber aggregationis or Secreta de
herbis, lapidibus et mineralibus was sometimes issued under
his name.

this is the only translation into a modern language
of Arnoldus Saxo's major work, which is recognized
as one of the first encyclopedias of the 13th century.
Arnold was probably a doctor and teacher, who may
well have known ALBERTUS MAGNUS. He was a
privileged witness to the transmission of the Greek-
Arabic texts as they spread through Europe after
the Dark Ages. In particular the works of Aristotle
captured his attention. Writing between 1220 and 1230,
he authored a compilation of knowledge that he titled,
De ñnibus rerum naturalium. Basing his text on the
Latin translations of Greek and Arabic writings, he
divided the material into five books: I. De coelo et
mundo. IL De naturis animalium. III. De gemmarum
virtutibus. IV. De virtute universali. V. De moralibus.
The third part, or lapidary, was especially popular
during the Middle Ages. In it he quotes Aristotle,
Dioscorides, and "Aaron and Evax" (i.e., Marbode).
It was used by Thomas of Cantimpré, Bartholornaeus
Anglicus, Albertus Magnus, Vincent, of Beauvais, when
writing their own works, but was not quoted except by
the last named and by the anonymous author of the
Hortus Sanitatis. It was also early on anonymously
translated into Hebrew as, Sefer Ha-Abanim.

ALBERTUS MAGNUS. (BORN: Lauingen, Swabia,
Germany, 1193; DIED: Cologne, Germany, 15 November
1280) German naturalist & theologian.
Albertus was one of the most famous authors of the
High Middle Ages. He was born to a wealthy and powerful
family, which provided him with a good Classical eduction.
He studied liberal arts at Padua, where he came under the
influence of Joranus of Saxony [7-1236], Master General
of the Dominican Order. Against his family wishes, Albert
vowed to a life of poverty and entered the Order, eventually
being ordained a priest. Around 1241, he was sent to the
University of Paris where he quickly rose to the post of
Master of Theology. His devotion and knowledge soon
lead to his appointment to establish in Cologne a studium
generale. This education center was to occupy and consume
Albertus for the remainder of his life; among his illustrious
students were Thomas Aquinas [1227-1274], Thomas of
Cantimpré [1201-after 1280] and Ulrich of Strassburg and
Giles [7-1278]. In 1260 the Pope appointed Albertus Bishop
of Regensburg, a post he resigned in 1262. The remainder
of his long life was devoted to preaching, teaching and
writing, primarily at Cologne. He was the most influential
medieval educator of the Aristotelian philosphies, and
through his position as provost at Cologne, he introduced

at other education centers. Albertus Magnus was canonized
in 1931 by Pope Pius XI, who declared him Saint to all
those who cultivate the natural sciences.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. Albertus
Magnus set as his life's work to place all of Aristotle's
extant writings into a coherent system and to reconcile
the Greek philosophies with those of the Christian
world. To attain this outcome, he scoured the libraries
of every monastery he visited for any writings of the
Ancients. In this quest he was rewarded with the
discovery of several ancient works thought lost. These
he had copied under his own eyes, thus preserving them
for the future when they might not otherwise have
survived. However, Albert's diligence did not locate any
copy of what he thought was Aristotle's Lapidary, and
what is now known to be a pseudo— Aristotelian work.
He was therefore forced to write his own work dealing
with minerals. The result is of remarkable interest as
it shows not only what the state of mineralogy was in

Albertus Magnus
the 13th century, but what Albert thought the science
should be.
The De Mineralibus [=Book of Minerals] is an
reflection of the knowledge of minerals in the 13th
century structured in the framework of ancient Greek
doctrine. Following basic Aristotelian philosophy and
guided only by the few lines devoted to mineral
substances in Aristotle's Meteorológica, Albertus draws
heavily upon his own observations and less so on other
medieval and classical sources to describe minerals.
Various duties of his religious Order caused him to
take frequent trips throughout the territories of France,
Germany and Italy. Along the literally thousands
of miles traveled on foot by Albertus, he had many
encounters with mines, miners and minerals. These
impressions he retained in his memory until they were
later recorded in this work. Consequently, when reading
Albertus' words, there is no doubt as to the authority
of his citations. One can only regret that the scope of
the project was so great as to preclude observations of
many phenomena.
The De Mineralibus is divided into five books,
dealing with stones (Books I— II), metals (Books III—
IV), "intermediates" (Book V), which are neither stones
nor metals, but have characteristics of both. In books,
I, III and V the author follows classical philosophy by
discussing minerals based upon their causes. This refers
to the four causes distinguished by Aristotle as material
(the matter from which minerals are made), efficient
(the process by which minerals are made), formal (the
form which minerals take, assumed by Albertus to
be based on biological propagation), and final (the
reason the mineral exists). In books, II, IV and V
Albertus completes his plan by individually naming
stones, metals, and "intermediates," and describing
each in considerable detail. This type of catalog,
alphabetically arranged on the name of the stone was
popular in medieval herbáis and lapidaries and is a
tradition that dates back at least to Pliny. Yet Albertus'
De Aíineraübus is not a simple lapidary. Even though
its background is based in medieval thought, with
many errors, the structure of the text is recognizable
in modern textbooks (i.e., the introduction of general
principles giving the origin, and physical properties
of minerals, followed by descriptions of individual
minerals including appearance, place of occurrence,
uses, etc.). With Albertus Magnus' mineralogy, the
study of minerals begins to emerge from its embryonic
period into a full fledged science. The tradition of
magical and curative powers in gems still permeates the
text, but one feels the author fighting the superstitions
of the ancient beliefs, and seeing the world in a new,
more skeptical and practical view.

RARE. An important collected edition of scientific
writings by the great scientist philospher edited with notes
added by the physician Marco Antonio Zimara [see note
below]. Included are the author's books on mineralogy,
astronomy, metaphysics, the intellect, etc. The volume
is generously illustrated with woodcut scientific diagrams,
and is one of the keystones in a long series of medieval
scientific texts published by the heirs of Ottaviano Scoto
in the early sixteenth century, mostly printed by Bonetus
Locatellus [fl. 1486-1523]. The De Mineralibus, which
includes works on chemistry and alchemy, precious stones
and mineralogy generally is found in the second part.
Ottaviano Scoto. (BORN: Monza, Italy, cl440; DIED:
Venice, Italy, 1498/9) Italian publisher. Scoto headed
a distinguished family of Venetian printers. Born of a
noble family of Monza, he came to Venice at the age of
35 and operated a press there between 1479 and 1484.
He continued as an editor until 1498/9 whereupon his
heirs, including his brothers and nephews, undertook their
own activity (1499-1532). The original printer's mark of

History
Albertus Magnus
Ottaviano Scoto, was an elegant circle from whose center
extended a double cross. Within the circle are the letters
O.S.M, the initials of Octavianus Scotus Modoetiensis
(Ottaviano Scoto of Monza).
Marco Antonio Zimara. (BORN: Galatina, Italy, 1460;
DIED: Padua, Italy, 1523) Italian physician. Although of
humble origins, Zimara graduated from the University of
Padua with degrees in philosophy and medicine. In 1507
he was named professor ordinary at Padua, and in 1514
he became mayor of Galatina. His last years were devoted
to writing a guide to natural philosophy and metaphyisics
contained in the works of Aristotle and Averroës.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. As its Latin
title suggests, Liber Aggreationis, or "book of collected
items," The Book of Secrets is an anthology rather
than a single work. The treatment of the subject
matter is also sensational, reinforcing the popular myths
about nature. It is divided into sections describing
the marvellous properites of herbs, stones, and beasts.
However, within each part the text is collected from
a wide variety of sources. The text may be divided
into these component parts: (1) On Herbs describes 16
herbs described in terms of their magical properties, (2)
On Stones repeats 45 entries from Albertus Magnus'
Mineralia, which is followed by a single paragraph
taken from the 7th century encyclopedist, ISIDORE OF
SEVILLE, (3) On Beast, in which 18 beasts — animals,
birds and fish are described, and (4) On the Astrological
Influence of Planets containing a treatise on the hours
of the day governed by the various planets. In later
editions of The Book of Secrets another formerly
independent treatise describing "The Marvels of the
World" is soetimes appended.
Although the preface and a passage at the end
of the section dealing with beasts attribute this as an
original work of Albertus Magnus, it is very different
from the other known writings of him. It was written,
however, contemporary with Albertus or shortly after
he died; the earliest surviving manuscripts are from the
late 13th century, and Albertus died in 1279. It may
be that The Book of Secrets was written by a follower
of Albertus; certainly, as Thorndike writes, "There
can be little doubt that it pretends to be a product
of his experimental school among the Dominicans at
Cologne." Sometimes the text as been attributed
wrongly to Albertus de Saxonia [which see note below].
Secrets in literature became a popular tradition
during the Middle Ages; texts of this type were written
for the popular audience, not scholarly persuit. Despite
the scorn of the scholars, however, this literature
capitalized on the prestige associated with the great
scholars of the past including Albertus Magnus. They
each have many works spuriously attributed to them.
This is not suprising when one realizes that the
intellectual climate constrained many scholars to cast
their writings in the form of commentaries on the
works of the ancients. For example, the whole of
Albertus' vast output was intended by the author to
be a commentary on Aristotle, though it contains much
original work.
The most interesting fact about the Liber
Aggregationis is not that it was written but that
it enjoyed wide popularity for so long. With the
introduction of mechanical printing this work became
an incunubula best seller with more than 45 editions
being published before 1501. It was perennially
translated, reworked and edited for four more centuries
with the last edition appearing in 1937.
The Liber Aggregationis was one of the most
widely known and republished works in the literature
that gained popularity during the Middle Ages. The
demand for this work is demonstrated by the survival
of a large number of manuscripts dating from as early
as the 12th century and by the fact that several of
these continued to be copied, anthologized, translated
into the incunubula period. With the invention of
printing the Liber Aggregationis was issued in more
than fifty Latin editions during the 15th Century, with
the first dated edition making its appearance in 1478
from the press of Johann Schriber of Bologna. During
the incunubula period it also appeared in Italian,
Catalan, and French versions. Commonly, the Liber
Aggregationis was also bound with Albertus Magnus'
De Mirabiíibus Mundi and the Parvurn Regimen
Sanitatis.
Albertus de Saxonia. (BORN: Saxony, Germany, cl330;
DIED: c1390) German theologian, philosopher & naturalist.
Albertus was the son of a Saxon frarner. He graduated
from the University of Paris and was appointed the first
Rector of the University of Vienna in 1365. Then from
1366 to 1390 he was Bishop of Halberstadt in Germany.
As a logician, he was at the forefront of the movement
that expanded the analysis of language based on the
properties of terms, especially their reference (in Latin:
suppositio), but also in the exploration of new fields of
logic, especially the theory of consequences. As a natural

philosopher, he contributed to the spread of Parisian
natural philosophy throughout Italy and central Europe.
Because of the authority of his name, the pseudo-Albertus
Magnus work, Liber aggregation]' s or Secreta de herbis,
¡apidibus et mineralibus was sometimes issued under his
name.

Aldrovandi
ALDROVANDI, Ulysse. (Born: Bologna, Italy, 11
September 1522; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 10 May 1605)
Italian botanist & natural historian.
Aldrovandi is regarded as one of the foremost
zoologists of the Renaissance. He was born of a respectable
burgher family and it was intended he should become a
merchant. However, the work attracted him so little he
began studying first jurisprudence in Bologna and then
philosophy and medicine at Padua and Rome, receiving
the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1552. In 1560,
he was appointed professor of natural history at the
University of Bologna, where he remained the next 40
years, until his death. As a professor he was a favorite
lecturer of the students, and his talks on botany and
pharmacology were heavily attended. In order to provide
teaching aids for his lectures, he founded in 1568 the
Bologna City Gardens and became its first director. About
this period, he was also appointed inspector of drugs
and as a consequence published, Antidotara Bononiensis
Epitome (Вопошээ, 1615), which became a model for many
subsequent pharmacopœdias.
Throughout his adult life, Aldrovandi spent his
financial and leisure resources in the accumulation of a very
large collection of natural history objects. He employed
the artists of the city to create woodcuts of the objects
for use in a series of large, beautifully illustrated books,
covering the natural history spectrum. However, at his
death, only four volumes had been published. Before he
died though, the Bologna City goverment, in recognition
of his scientific contributions, had doubled his salary.
In gratitude, Aldrovandi bequeathed his collections and
unpublished manuscripts to the city, where today the
remains are located in the city's library and museum. This
was also a shrewd move because after his death, the city
decided to continue the publication of the manuscripts.
The result is that all of the various researches are embodied
in Aldrovandi's Opera Omnia (Вопошээ, 1599-1668), which
consists of 14 large folio volumes, covering all aspects of
natural history, and forming one of the great scientific
works of the seventeenth century.

VERY SCARCE. Edited by Bartolomeo Ambrosini
Mvsaevm Metallicvm, 1648.
[see note below]. Some forty years after he died,
Aldrovandi's Musaeum Adetallicurn was published as
a thick folio volume. Since his death, the work
had existed as a manuscript, "Geológica ovvero
Fossilibus" in the library collections of the University of
Bologna, which had been bequeathed all of Aldrovandi's
manuscripts. Even unpublished, many scholars studied
it as a resource for their own researches. The value
others placed upon Aldrovandi's material did not go
unnoticed, which is why a former student of the author,
Bartolomeo Ambrosini was entrusted by the Bologna
senate to edit the material Aldrovandi had accumulated
and oversee its publication. The final product is a
superb book.
The work consists of a single volume divided into
four books: on metals, earths, succi concreti (concrete
juices), and stones (minerals, rocks, and fossils). Within
each of these books, whole chapters are devoted to the
consideration of a single "fossil." In a style typical of
its time, each chapter then describes the fossil's medical
properties, synonyms, localities, origins, varieties, and
uses. Aldrovandi includes references to classical and
medival authors through out the volume in a fashion
that anticipated modern scholars by compiling long
lists of authorities but omitting those commonly cited
(Partington, 1961—70). The antiquarian nature of the
book commonly gives the names and descriptions of
the items listed a strange, unrecognizable character.

However, Foresti (1887) attempted to ease the struggle
by matching relatively modern names to Aldrovandi's.
The comprehensive index included at the end of
Musaeum Metallicum also makes this a reader friendly
book.
Perhaps the most outstanding feature for the
connoiseur of minéralogie literature are the several
hundered woodcuts scattered throughout the volume.
Some of these are full page but most are smaller, with
many possessing a quaint, interesting character. These
figures are designed to illustrate features described
in the text, but since minerals do not easily lend
themselves to illustration, the pictures "rather require
the text to explain them" (Adams, 1934). That
Aldrovandi was a man of accumulation is clearly shown
by his inclusion of all facts that came to his attention
without apparently any critical faculty to distinguish
between the true and imaginary, the important and
nonessential. A great amount of scientific value is
contained in Musaeum Metallicum but an overburden
must be removed to discover those nuggets. In truth,
the author was a product of his time. The influence
of the church and other authorities did not bind his
writings and ideas as they had past authors, "and so,"
as Adams (1934) writes, "one gathers the impression
that he was writing at the opening of a new age ..."
Bartolomeo Ambrosini. (BORN: 1587; DIED: 1688)
Italian physician & botanist. Ambrosini was a pupil
of Aldrovandi, who successively became professor of
philosophy, botany and medicine at the University of
Bologna. He also became director of that city's botanical
gardens.

David Kellner [see note below] of Mvsaevm Metallicvm
(Bononiœ, 1648). The work is divided into two books. The
first (page 1-67) is "De Metallis in genere," which gives
an overview of metals, their origins, reason for existance,
etc. The second book (pages 68-258), titled "De Metallis
in specie," gives detailed descriptions of various metals,
including notes on the both the physical and mystical
properties.
David Kellner. (BORN: Gotha, Germany, 16 — ;
DIED: 17 — ) German physician. Kellner studied medicine
in Helmstedt, receiving his M.D. in 1670 (or 1673). He
worked in Nordhausen, and may have been a physician
to the court. The second of his surgical dissertations is
dedicated to Johann Langguth, a physician in the service
of Duke Ernst of Saxony. It is possible that Langguth
advanced Kellner in his work. He dedicates one of his books
to Johann Scheib, the surgeon and barber of Gotha (the
prince's city of residence) whom Kellner calls his friend and
patron. He authored several treatises concerning mining,
assaying and metallurgy.

capturing Cadiz in 1262. Through his sponsorship, a
translation of Old Testament was prepared by Jews of

Allan accumulated a large mineral collection that was

was later incorporated into ROBERT Greg's, which is now
in the British Museum of Natural History. In 1813,
Allan was influential in securing a mineralogy post in the
Dublin Philosophical Society for K.L. GlESECKE. Allan
wrote "Diamond" for the fifth edition of the Encyclopedia
Britannica. Allan was elected a Fellow of the Royal Societies
of London and Edinburgh. He also recognized a new
mineral species from Greenland, which in 1810 was named
"Allanite" in his honor by Thomas Thomson.

each mineral species.
RARE. Although assigned the title of "First edition"
in most bibliographies, this clearly is the second revision
after the previous item. The introduction is signed T.
Allan. This is one of the earliest attempts in English
to compare and clarify the mineralogical nomenclature
used by various authors. "As no rules have yet been
established, by which mineralogical nomenclature can be
regulated, every new work makes a considerable addition
to the unwieldy stock of synonymes already in use; and
the numerous valuable publications, which have recently
appeared on mineralogy, have increased the perplexity
arising from this circumstance to such a degree, that
the science has been plunged into difficulties, which
cannot fail to bewilder, particularly, the young student." —
Introduction.
In this work, Allan first gives an alphabetical list of
the mineral species names used by Kirwan, Jameson, Haiiy,
Brochant, Lucas and Brongniart. He has then added tables
showing the composition of all the minerals that had been
submitted to chemical analysis. These tables are divided
into four classes I. Saline, II. Earthy, III. Inflammable and
IV. Metallic, with the minerals arranged alphabetically
within their respective tables.
Apparently two issues of this edition exist. This one,
with "Caledonian Mercury Press" imprinted on the title, is
not listed in BLC. Instead, they describe an issue with the
imprint of "Canterbury Press" on the title page.

idea of this little Work originated in the difficulty I
experienced when the study of Mineralogy first engaged
my attention. I was then so perplexed with the variety
of Synonymous Terms which were indiscriminately made
use of, that I was induced to frame a small manuscript
vocabulary to assist my memory. This was afterwards
committed to the press; and since that time so great an
addition has been made, not only to the number of known
minerals, but to the original stock of names, that a work of
this kind requires to be renewed, were it only to keep pace
with the alterations which time has introduced." (Preface).

RARE. Edited by Archibald Bruce [see note
below], The American Mineralogical Journal was the
first periodical in America devoted exclusively to
scientific subjects. Although its existence was short
lived, from 1810 to 1814, it was recognized early in its
history to give reliable information about the mineral
deposits and recently discovered geological phenomena
of America. In 1814 the four issues already published
were collected together into a single volume. Then
due to Bruce's deteriorating health, publication ceased,
although the editor optimistically believed that his
Journal would someday continue. Unfortunately, he
never regained sufficient strength to resume his editorial
duties and only after his death in 1818, was his vision
realized. This new magazine edited by Bruce's good
friend Benjamin Silliman of Yale increased its format
to include all forms of science, including mineralogy
and geology, and thus became the oracle for nineteenth
century American science. The title it took on its
debut in 1818 was: The American Journal of Science,
More Especially of Mineralogy, Geology, and the Other
Branches of Natural History; Including Also Agriculture
and the Ornamental as well as the Useful Arts.

Bruce's father was head of the medical department of the
British Army stationed in New York City. He was educated
at a boarding school on Long Island before entering
Columbia College in 1791, receiving his A.B. degree in
medicine in 1797. One of medical professor's was David
Hosack who had returned from Europe with a substantial
mineral collection. Soon, Hosack infected Bruce with his
enthusiasm for minerals, which quickly became Bruce's
favorite leisurely pursuit. In 1798, Bruce sailed for Great
Britain to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh.
He was awarded the degree of M.D. in 1800, after which
he toured France, Switzerland, Italy and England. During
this tour, he became acquainted with all of the leading
mineralogists of France and England. In 1803, he married
in London and returned to America, where he opened a
successful medical practice. In 1807, Bruce and several
others founded the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
now Columbia University's Medical School. In this venture
Bruce was a trustee, 1807-11, registrar, 1807-11, professor
of mineralogy, 1807-8 and professor of materia medica,
1808-11. In 1812, Bruce and others again founded a new
medical school associated with Rutgers. There he was
professor of mineralogy and materia medica, 1812-8. He
died of apoplexy in 1818. Bruce's mineral collection sold
for the large sum (in that time) of $5,000, which indicates
a high quality of specimen. His name is perpetuated by the
mineral "Brucite" named in his honor by F.S. Beudant in
1819.

VERY RARE. A standard textbook of mineralogy,
divided into 24 lessons. The introductory material
covers the usual topics of physical and chemical
properties, nomenclature, and classification methods.
The descriptive portions classifies the mineral species
using a new approach developed by the author. Here
Amondieu makes use of the chemical and physical
properties of the mineral to classify its species, in an
approach that he asserts follows the manner of nature.
Considering its popular style approach to the subject
this is a suprisingly scarce work.

ANDERSON, Charles. (Born: Moa, Stenness,
Orkney Islands, Scotland, 5 December 1876; DIED: Syd-

Anderson attended Kirkwall Burgh School and the
University of Edinburgh (M.A., 1898, B.Sc, 1900, D.Sc,
1908). He was appointed mineralogist at the Australian
Museum, Sydney, 22 July 1908. His doctorial dissertation
was on the chemistry and crystallography of minerals
from Australia. Anderson was appointed director of the
Australian Museum, 14 February 1921, and switched his
field of research to vertabrate palaeontology, in which made
notable contributions — particularly the reclassification of
Meiolania (the extinct horned turtle). He held membership
in many Australian scientific societies. It is recorded that
Anderson had a whirniscal sense of humor and simple
tastes, and "when measuring crystals on the goniometer,
an intricate piece of apparatus, his favorite song was 'There
was a wee cooper who lived in Fife,/Nicketty, nacketty, noo,
noo, noo.'" .

ANTHONY, John Williams. (Born: Brockton,
Massachusetts, U.S.A., 25 November 1920; DIED: El
Paso, Texas, U.S.A., 8 November 1992) American
geologist & mineralogist.
Anthony began his geology degree at Brown
University before World War II. The war intervened,
however, and only after his service did he move to Tucson,
Arizona, where he earned his B.S. in geology in 1946. This
was followed by an M.S. in 1951, and in 1965, a Ph.D.
from Harvard University where he studied under CLIFFORD
Frondel. In 1946, he accepted a position as mineralogist
with the Arizona Bureau of Mines, which he retained until
1951. The experience gave him an expert knowledge of
the mineralogy of Arizona. From 1951 until 1964 he rose
from Assistant to Associate Professor of geology at the
University of Arizona. In 1964 he was appointed a full
professor at that institution — a position he kept until his
retirement in 1983. Anthony held membership in the
Mineralogical Society of America, the Geological Society of
America, and the American Crystallographic Association.
His specialty was the mineralogy and economic geology
of the American southwest, as well as experimental and
descriptive mineralogy. The mineral species "Anthonyite"
was name in his honor by S.A. Williams in 1985.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored with Richard A.
Bideaux, Kenneth W. Bladh and Monte C. Nichols [see
notes below], and continued on after Anthony's death
by these individuals. This is one of the most important
and valuable mineralogical references published in the
late 20th and early 21st centuries, and eclipsed in
its treatment of the subject only by C.A.F. HlNTZE's
monumental Handbuch der Mineralogie (Leipzig, 1898-
1933). This modern Handbook series, complete in
five volumes, encapsulates critical data about each
valid mineral species. It was conceived in order
to gather in one convenient place data critical to
identification of all mineral species, and to provide
relatively up-to-date references for each species listed.
The intention is to provide sufficient information for
the professional or amateur to distinguish one mineral
species from another. Pertinent facts for each species
have been distilled to one page and consist of the
name, idealized chemical formula, crystal data, physical
properties, optical properties, cell data, X-ray powder
pattern, chemistry, polymorphism &¿ series, occurrence,
association, distribution, name origin, location of
type material and reference citations. This structure
contains much of what is known about each mineral
species, and as a mineralogical reference is unsurpassed
in its thoroughness during modern times.
It is also a book valuable to amateur and
professionals alike. It is fun as well as educational to
browse the contents of these volumes and marvel at
the variety of minerals and to consider their physical
characteristics and the origin of their names. It is an
especially valuable work for giving complete references
and comparative chemical data for even rare species.
In addition, the authors' expertise in judging specimen
quality provides excellent source material for exact
locality information where the best specimens have
been found. This work is certainly one of the finest
mineralogical treatises ever published, and hence its
inclusion in this Biobibliography even though it is
published well past the terminal date of 1920.
Richard August Bideaux. (BORN: Tucson, Arizona,
U.S.A., 28 March 1935; DIED: Prescott, Arizona, U.S.A., 26
October 2004) American mineralogist & pioneer in geological
computer applications. Bideaux is a graduate of the
University of Arizona (B.S., Geological Engineering, 1959)
and received his M.A. in geology from Harvard University
in 1968. He discovered and helped to describe several
new mineral species. As a field collector, he along with
collecting partner, Richard L. "Dick" Jones [1933—1982]
preserved many notable Arizona specimens, including fine
examples of Defiance and Glove Mine wulfenite. He was
employed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory during the
Surveyor missions to the moon, and was responsible for
processing imaging data of the first pictures received by
the U.S.A. from a heavenly body other than the earth. He
returned to Tucson, Arizona in the late 1960's and founded
Computing Associates with two partners. This company
was a pioneer in computer applications in geology and
mining engineering, and was responsible for determining
the ore reserves of many mining companies throughout the
world. As a consequence of his achievements in this area,
in 1978 the University of Arizona bestowed on him the
professional degree of Geological Engineer. Throughout
most his life he has collected mineral specimens. A large
portion of the fine collection he built was dispersed through
Kristalle in 1985. He is a life fellow of the Mineralogical
Society of America and a member of the Arizona Geological
Society. The mineral species "Bideauxite" was named in
his honor by S.A. Williams in 1970.
Kenneth William Blahd. (BORN: Chicago, Illinois,
U.S.A., 7 November 1947; DIED: ) American
geologist & mineralogist. Bladh received his B.A. from
Wittenberg University in 1969 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from
the University of Arizona in 1973 and 1978, respectively.
He is an expert in descriptive mineralogy and the low
temperature geochemistry of weathering processes. He
has been an Assistant Professor of Geology at Wittenberg
University since 1978. Bladh in a member of the
Mineralogical Society of America, the Geological Society
of America, the Mineralogical Association of Canada and
Sigma Xi.
Monte C. Nichols. (BORN: Davenport, Iowa, U.S.A.,
1938; DIED: ) American chemist. American
chemist. Nichols was educated at the University of Arizona
(B.S., Chemistry, 1960; M.S., Physical Chemistry, 1962).
Formerly, he was a senior member of the technical staff,
materials department, Sandia National Laboratories and

to James Apjohn. The preface provides a short history
of earlier catalogs of the collection, before presenting
an overview of the methods adopted in this work.
Apjohn uses the arrangement of Beudant as outlined
in the Traité de Minéralogie (2nd ed., Paris, 1830-1).
Thus the collection is arranged in thirty-two sections,
corresponding to the families of Beudant. Within
each family, the genera and species represented in the
specimens of the collection are described. An index at
the end gives an alphabetical arrangement of the species
mentioned.

ARBOLAYRE (or Grant Herbier).
A French herbal that was supposedly a translation
of one of the early German herbáis. Although the earliest
edition (issued under the title "Arbolayre") was illustrated
with German cuts formerly used in an edition of the Gart
der Gesundheit, the text is completely different from the
German and Latin Hortus. Subsequent editions were issued
under the title, Grant Herbier.

in 1525 has no illustrations.
The text consists of chapters i-cccccv. With the
exception of the preface and the treatise on urines, the
Grete Herball is a translation of the French Grand Herbier
or Arbolayre. The preface and the treatise on urines
show a strong resemblance to the corresponding parts of
the German Gart. This English issue is important for
presenting on the early English names of plants. The
woodcuts of the plants are copied from the those in the
Dutch herbáis, probably the 1511 edition. The skeleton is
copied from Grüninger's cut.
The title page cut shows a charming woodcut of a
garden, with a man holding a spade and gathering grapes,
and a woman throwing flowers and herbs out of her apron
into a basket. Figures of female and male mandrake in the
lower corners. The title cut and the text cuts reappear
in the Dutch Gart der Gesundheit edition of 1538, issued
in Ultrecht by Jan Bernts printed from the same blocks.
Complete copies are exceptionally rare.

VERY SCARCE. One of the most important
accounts on the progress of the geosciences in the first
half of the 19th century with a wealth of information
especially on French developments with a stress on
the early publications of the famous Société Géologique
de France. Because of its proximity, there are
mineralogical nuggets of information contained in the
volumes.

ARDUINO, Giovanni. (BORN: Caprino, Italy, 16
October 1714; DIED: Venice, Italy, 21 March 1795)
Italian geologist.
Arduino was educated at Verona, Italy. He was
employed with the goverment mining service, becoming
director of mining works in Tuscany. He was appointed
professor of mineralogy and metallurgy at Venice, and later
Padua. Ardunio was the first to classify rocks as Primary,
Secondary and Tertiary, 1760, and also the first to recognize
the volcanic origin of crystalline rocks. Arduino recognized
the benefit of applying chemistry and paleontology to the
chronology of geological formations for age dating purposes.

QVILATADOR, 1572
VERY RARE. A mineralogy designed to instruct
ladies in the science of mineralogy. The text discusses
the collecting of mineral and natural history specimens,
differences between false and genuine gemstones,
lapidary craft, and jewelery manufacturing. At the
end is a discussion cast into a coversation between two
girls about the collecting of specimens and the value of
forming collections. The tone of the text suggests that
the pseudonym used by the author was to hide her true
gender.

VERY RARE. One of the earliest published texts
devoted to the subject of petroleum, this curious tract
was published from manuscript material written over
two centuries earlier. Oligerus Jacob,EUS, the editor,
dedictates the work to the famous Italian bibliophile
Antonio Magliabecchi [1633-1714]. Pages 9-12 contains
"a preface to the reader giving some account of this
mineral oil, or naphtha, found at Mons Zibius, Gybius,
or Zilius, in the Modenesse territory, comparing it with
naphtha from India and indicating certain analogies
with amber. There is next a short biographical sketch-
in Italian— of Ariostus, written by Antonio Libanori and
communicated by Magliabecchi. The tract itself (pp.
18-38) gives an account of the oil, and then (pp. 38-76)
a description of cures effected by the use of it. The work
concludes (pp. 77-79) with a presentation letter from
Ariostus to Duke Borsius dated December, 1462, and
the Duke's reply, after with is the Index." (Ferguson).

Aristotle
ARISTOTLE. (BORN: Stagira, Chaldice, near Mace-
don, Greece, 384 B.c.; DIED: Chalcis, Island of Euboea,
Greece, 322 b.c.) Greek philosopher.
Aristotle was the son of Nicomachus, physician to
King Amynas II of Macedón. He became a student of
Plato, at the Athens Academy, 367-347 B.C.E. Afterward
he traveled throughout the Greek world, especially Asia
Minor, 347-342 B.C.E. He was appointed by Phillip II of
Macedón to be tutor to his son (later called Alexander
the Great). Aristotle founded and was a teacher of the
Lyceum (or Peripatos) in Athens, 335-323 B.C.E. In 323
B.C.E., he retired to Chalcis upon death of his guardian,
Alexander the Great. He is the founder of the systematic
study of symbols and logic and theory of symbolism
which enabled him to develop logic as a science. He
collected facts about the natural world around him through
personal observation. These he then recorded in a series of
monographs which were handed down through manuscript
until the invention of printing. Aristotle, as a teacher, had
great influence on his students, with his ideas and ideas
attributed to him, becoming the cornerstone of western
science and philosophy for one and a half millennia.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. The
Lapidarius was the first lapidary printed after the
invention of mechanical printing, and this is the second
book printed at Merseberg. It is attributed to Aristotle
being called the "Lapidarius et Liber de physionomia
of Aristotle," but was composed long after his death
because the text refers to more recent authorities such
as Rasis and Albertus Magnus, and alludes to the
mountains of Lombardy, St. Gotthard, a castle in
Saxony, and to the river Saale which flows in Franconia
and is called the Christian Saale, and that which
descends towards Saxony and is known as the pagan
Saale. It is a work entirely devoted to precious stones
and physiognomy, "written in honor of Wenzel II, king
of the Bohemians" [1266-1305]. The manuscript is
preservered as a fifteenth- century text in the Public
Library, Bern (MS. 513) as an anonomous physiognomy.
It is an entirely different text from the Lapidary of
Aristotle published by Julius Ruska at Heidelberg in
1912 [which see next entry].
The work is divided into three parts. In the
first is treated the Lapidarius of Aristotle in the new
translation from the Greek with all the other lapidaries
and their statements as to the colors, virtues, and place
of generation of each stone. The second part describes
how the virtues of precious stones are increased and
altered according to diverse situations, such as wearing
them on the finger or in the armpit, or combining them
with other things and engraving characters on them.
The third part is devoted to physiognomy itself.
The printing of this work has been assigned to the
printer Lukas Brandis [see note below].
Lukas Brandis. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German
printer. In 1475, Brandis published at Lübeck a world
history, which was the first title published in this city.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. The first
printed edition of Aristotles collected works, consisting
of De Anima, Metaphysica, De Ccelo, De Generatione,
Meteorológica, Parva Naturalia, S¿ Physica appeared
between 1472 and 1474 from the press of Laurentius
Canozius in Padua. The Meteora (often spelled
with an 'h', Metheora) presents in three books an
investigation of "things aloft," and includes studies of
the stars, comets, winds, the lower atmostphere, and
then proceeds to an account of related phenomena
like weather, tides, earthquakes, climatic changes. A
fourth book is concerned with chemical change and
the properties of matter and bares some measure in
mineralogy. Ten diagrams illustrate the text and a map
summarizes Aristotle's views on the habitable zones of
the earth.

Incipit Leaf of Aristotle's Opera, 1472-4
The fourth book of the Meteorológica occupies
a strange position in the list of the Stagirite's works.
The first three books are concerned with meteorological
phenomena as explained by the actions and affectivities
of the moist and dry exhalations, and all such
phenomena are ascribed to these agencies. Moreover, at
the end of the third book a promise is made to furnish a
study of the exhalations as they occur inside the earth.
There two classes of matter are to be discussed, those
bodies that are mined and those that are quarried.
But the promised discussion nowhere appears in the
extant works of Aristotle. However, around 1200 a.D.
a fourth book began to appear in the manuscripts of
the Meteorológica. It writing was such that it was
accepted as a genuine work of the master, but research
in the early 20th century show conclusively that this
fourth book is actually the "De Mineralibus" authored
by AviCENNA.
Avicenna's work is partly a direct translation and
partly a résumé of passages in from Avicenna's Kitâb
al-shifâ' (Book of the remedy). It was translated by
Alfred of Sareshel in the 13th century. On the surface
it describes the formation of minerals and mountains.
From a scientific point of view, Avicenna's opinions
on the formation of stone, rocks, and mountains are
remarkably interesting in that they show an astonishing
insight into the geological process. He is clear and
concise in his remarks on the nature of minerals and in
particular is ruthless in his criticism of the alchemists
and their attempt to transmute the base metals into

gold.
In this the first printing of all four books
of Aristotle's Meterologica there is contained a
commentary by Averröes [see note below] on Book IV
only.
Averröes. (BORN: Cordova, Spain, 1126; DIED:
Morocco, 1198) Arabian philosopher, astronomer & writer on
jurisprudence. Averröes (Arabic: Abul Walid Mahommed
Ibn Achmed, Ibn Mahommed Ibn Rushd) was educated
in his native city, where his father and grandfather
had held the office of cadi (judge in civil affairs) and
had played an important part in the political history
of Andalusia. He devoted himself to jurisprudence,
medicine, and mathematics, as well as to philosophy and
theology. Under the Califs Abu Jacub Jusuf and his
son, Jacub Al Mansur, he enjoyed extraordinary favor
at court and was entrusted with several important civil
offices at Morocco, Seville, and Cordova. Later he fell
into disfavor and was banished with other representatives
of learning. Shortly before his death, the edict against
philosophers was recalled. Many of his works in logic
and metaphysics had, however, been consigned to the
flames, so that he left no school, and the end of the
dominion of the Moors in Spain, which occurred shortly
afterwards, turned the current of Averoism completely into
Hebrew and Latin channels, through which it influenced
the thought of Christian Europe down to the dawn of the
modern era. Averoes' great medical work, "Culliyyat"
(of which the Latin title "Colliget" is a corruption) was
published as the tenth volume in the Latin edition of
Aristotle's works, Venice, 1527. His "Commentaries" on
Aristotle, his original philosophical works, and his treatises
on theology have come down to us either in Latin or Hebrew
translations.

Secret is Secret orum
One of the chief characteristics of medieval literature is
the degree to which anonymous and pseudonymous texts
were diffused and read. The most striking example is
the immense literature in a variety of languages which
surrounds Alexander the Great's teacher, the philosopher
Aristotle, to whom were attributed many different works
with little or no claim to authenticity. In addition to the
approximately forty genuine Aristotelian works known in
Latin or vernacular versions during the Middle Ages, there
were more than a hundred other works attributed to the
master at some time during the same centuries. Some
of the Latin versions are based upon Greek texts already
attributed to Aristotle in Antiquity, others derive from
Hebrew or Arabic roots, while others again seem to be
original Latin works which became attached to the name
of Aristotle at some time in their history. The most widely
diffused of all these works is the one which bears the Latin
title Secretum Secretorum. It enjoyed immense influence and
the widest circulation from at least the tenth (and quite

Aristotle
Not all of the Secretis Secretorum éditons published
under Aristotle's name contain the tract on mineralogy. In
fact, apparently none of the dozen or so incunubula editions
appear to include it. The first appearance of the work in
a published edition of the Secretis Secretorum occurs in the
1501 edition.

VERY RARE. Edited by Alexandri Achillini [see
note below], this text contains seven treatises on
medicine and philosophy: Secreta secretorum; De signis
aquarum, ventorum et tempestatum; De mineralibus;
Alexander Aphrodisei de intellectu; Averoes de
beatitudine anime; Alexandri Achillini de universalibus
and Alexandri Macedonis ad Aristotelem de mirabilibus
Indie. Four of these are pseudo- Aristotelian works,
which were well known since the 13th century or
earlier. The Secreta secretorum is here present in
the translation of Philip of Tripoli; the De signis
aquarum, ventorum et tempestatum on weather signs,
was translated in the 13th century by Bartholomew
of Messina; the third work by the pseudo- Aristotle
is De mineralibus on gems; the fourth Alexandri
Macedonis ad Aristotelem de mirabilibus Indie is a
fictitious letter by Alexander the Great to his teacher
Aristotle, describing the wonders of India and the East.
Three other similar 'Indian tractates' are known, all
of them connected with the romance of Alexander
the Great at various points in history. All four of
them were accepted during the later Middle Ages as
reliable literary portraits of the Indians, especially
of the Brahmans. They originated in the European
culture, and became sources for later tellers and writers
of fables. The three remaining treatises in the present
work consist of a work by Alexander of Aphrodisias on
the intellect, another by Averroes on the beauty of the
soul, and a work by Achillini himself on universais.
The tract, "De Mineralibus" , is based upon a
manuscript translation made at the end of the 12th
century by Alfred the Englishman [see note below] of
Avicenna's work on minerals.
The origin of the Secret o f Secrets is veiled in
obscurity. All known versions go back to an Arabic
original, Kitab Sirr al-'asr, r, of which the earliest extant
fragment can be dated A.D. 941. The work itself claims,
in the Proem, to have been translated from Greek into
Syriac and from Syriac into Arabic by Yahya ibn-al-
Bitriq, a well-known ninth-century translator active in
the period when the largest number of works was being
translated from Greek into Arabic. While it is doubtful,
though not impossible, that there was a Greek original,
it is clear that the extant versions contain a good deal
of Greek material, including a certain amount which
derives from genuine Aristotelian doctrine. It also,
however, contains much which certainly is traceable to
Middle Eastern Islamic sources.
In structure the work takes the form of an
extended letter from Aristotle to Alexander the Great,
which was sent to the king while he was engaged in
conquering Persia. It is thus parallel to a number of
other extant letters, which purport to be epistolory
exchanges between the two eminent figures, of which
several exist in Greek. The Secret, as it has come down
to us, evidently underwent a long period of gestation.
It probably originated as a 'Mirror for Princes', a
familiar medieval literary form in which a wise man
(Aristotle) offers moral and political advice to an
eminent political leader (Alexander). It thus contains
much specific advice on how the king as handled the
many requiremcents of his office. For example, it deals
with how the king is to choose and manage his advisors,
what diet he should follow, how he should dress,
etc. The Secret, as it has come down to us contains
much else besides. Probably through a long period of
accretion it gradually became a sort of encyclopedic
work comprising, in addition to its original moral and
political component, much miscellaneous information
on occult and pseudo-scientific subjects. Thus there are
sections of astrology, physiognomy, alchemy, and magic,
in addition to rather detailed medical sections.
All known versions derive from one of two
Arabic versions, which are extent in a total of about
fifty manuscripts. One of the versions is divided
into either seven or eight books and is known as
the Short Form in Manzalaoui's classification, while
the other is in ten books and is known as the
Long Form. It was ultimately translated into many
different languages including Hebrew, Turkish, Latin,
Russian, Czech, Croatian, German, Icelandic, English,
Castillian, Catalan, Portuguese, French, and Italian. In
some of these languages there are several versions, and
in English there are as many as nine, though not all
of them are complete. The Latin versions undoubtedly
had the greatest fortuna and were the basis for later
translations into European vernacular languages. The
Russian translation, however, is from a Hebrew version.
There are two basic Latin versions, one made in
the mid-twelfth century by John of Seville (Joannes
Hispalensis) and extant in some hundred and fifty
copies, the other made during the first half of
the thirteenth century by Philippus Tripolitanus and
surviving in more than three hundred and fifty
manuscripts. These versions, both in their Latin form
and in the many vernacular translations which came
from them, were exceedingly widely read for more than
four centuries in many different intellectual contexts.

Aristotle
read the work carefully are Albert the Great and Roger
Bacon, who wrote a Latin commentary on the Secret.
Owing to its encyclopedic nature it was of interest to
readers in many different fields ranging from political
theory to alchemy, from physiognomy to popular moral
philosophy.
Though much work has been done previously on
many aspects of the Secret, we have by no means
reached the stage where one can confidently place
the work with its myriad ramifications in its proper
historical context. Because it was transmitted in so
many diverse cultures and in so many different linguistic
and structural forms, to understand fully its overall
historical position is beyond the capabilities of any
single scholar. There are many unsolved problems
of all sorts, ranging from the work's sources to the
precise relationship between the various versions in
many different languages.
Alessandro Achillini. (BORN: Bologna, Italy,
20 October 1463; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 1512) Italian
philosopher & classical scholar. Achillini studied philosophy
and medicine at the university of Bologna, where he
became a celebrated lecturer both in medicine and in
philosophy. From 1506 to 1508, he also taught at Padua.
For his commentaries and editorial work, he was styled the
second Aristotle. His philosophical works were printed in
one volume folio, at Venice, in 1508, and reprinted with
considerable additions in 1545, 1551 and 1568. He was also
distinguished as an anatomist.
Alfred the Englishman. (BORN: ; DIED: )
English translator. Also called Alfred of Sareshel and Alfred
Angilicus, was one of the English scholastics who was
especially important as a translator of (originally) Greek
works from Arabic to Latin. His renderings of Aristotle's
works occurred during the late 12th century.

RARE. Edited by Franciscus Maria Storella [see note
below], this is the best edited text of Aristotle's Secretum
before modern scholarship. It is a rare edition, with
only a handful of copies known to be extant. Moreover,
there are two variants, one having a Naples and the other
a Venetian imprint. The work is dedicated to Ettore
Pignatelli, Duke of Monteleone, and contains a detailed
preface, and annotations to the text.
The most significant improvement of the work is that
Storella attempted in some measure to create a complete
and critical text. He incorporated the information found
in the Achillini edition of 1501 (reprinted 1516, 1520, and
1528). He also speaks explicitly of the abbreviated edition
published by Franciscus Taegius at Pavia in 1516. Storella
also claims to have used several manuscripts in preparing
the text. However, Schmitt (1982) says: "On the whole
Storella's efforts to improve the text seem to have been
somewhat misguided and not really based on any overall
understanding of how to go about it. Nevertheless, he made
an attempt, and the text he printed was more complete
than previous ones."
Franciscus Maria Storella. (BORN: Alessano, near Lecce,
Italy, cl525; DIED: Naples, Italy, 1575) Italian classical
scholar. Storella took a degree at Padua in 1549 and
later taught at the universities of Salerno and Naples.
He published a number of philosophical works, usually
commentaries on ancient authorities.

VERY SCARCE. A popular and many times
reprinted systematic Italian mineralogy. The author
provides in the first half of the book sections which
provide an overview of the science, definitions of
terminology, descriptions of the crystal systems and
crystal morphology, physical and chemical properties
of minerals and the reasons why minerals are organized
into the chemical-crystal systematic classification. The
last half of the book is devoted to a descriptive
mineralogy providing the standard information. An
overall index finishes the text of the work. At the end
are 40 chromolithographie plates showing a multitude
of mineral specimens. These depictions are somewhat
crude, but none the less they attempt to be faithful
renderings of the specific species.

philosopher, physician, mathematician & astronomer.
Avicenna (Arabic: Abu 'All al-Husain ibn 'Abdallah
ibn Sïna) is the most famous scientist of Islam and one of
the most famous of all races, places and times. He authored
a great number of treatises in prose and verse, most of them
in Arabic and a few in Persian. His philosophy roughly
follows that of the Aristotelian tradition as modified by
Muslim theology. His Qãniín fî-1-tibb (Canon of Medicine)
is an immense encyclopedia of medicine, condensing the
whole of ancient and Muslim knowledge, which had wide
influence during the Middle Ages.

the European name given to JÃBIR IBN Hayyan was
allegedly an 8th-century Arab alchemist whose name is
attached to hundreds of writings ranging from the 9th to
13th centuries. Although he did not author all of these
works and in fact may not even have actually lived, the
books authored in his name were the most advanced and
influential alchemical texts of Islam. Many works later
attributed to him, including the Summa Perfectionis,
most probably were written by a later alchemist who
wrote under Geber's reputation. This work that may
be only translations of other Arabic texts became
incorporated into Jãbirs corpus, the influence of which
became the greatest of any alchemical writings in the

SCARCE. The "De mineralibus," appended, in
medieval Arabic-Latin versions, to the fourth book
of the Meteorológica of Aristotle. It is "partly a
direct translation and partly a résumé" of passages in
Avicenna's Kitâb al-shifâ' (Book of the remedy), made
by Alfred of Sareshel. — Introduction.
The Avicenna contains a Latin Text, the Arabic
Text, and an English translation, with considerable
critical and introductory material. The text claims
to be a book of Aristotle's "Physics," and on the
surface it describes the formation of minerals and
mountains, though the Arabic title, translated "The
Book of the Remedy" points to certain secrets which
must be embedded within.
From a scientific point of view, Avicenna's
opinions on the formation of stone, rocks, and
mountains are remarkably interesting in that they show
an astonishing insight into the geological process. He
is clear and concise in his remarks on the nature of
minerals and in particular is ruthless in his criticism of
the alchemists and their attempt to transmute the base
metals into gold.

In 1797, Babington began practicing medicine in
London. He also was associated with Guy's Hospital,
where he lectured on chemistry. Babington was a founding
member of the Geological Society of London, of which he
was also elected president in 1822. He was elected a Fellow
of the Royal Society of London in 1805, as well as a Fellow
of the Royal College of Physicians, and founder of the
Hunterian Society in London. The mineral "Babingtonite"
was named after him by A. Levy in 1824.

VERY SCARCE. In the advertisement, Babington
writes that he wishes this work to be considered
a continuation of his A Systematic Arrangement of
Minerals (1st ed., London, 1795). Like its predecessor,
A New System of Mineralogy also uses the mineral
collection Babington had purchased from the Earl of
Bute on which to form the basis for creating the
classification. However, where the earlier publication
contained a synopsis of the classification scheme
with essentially no mineral descriptions, this work
is essentially the expanded descriptive catalog of the
specimens arranged according to the system.
The work is dedictated to the mineral collector
Sir John St Aubyn [see note below]. Babingtion's
obligation to Baron Ignaz Edler von Born is expressed
on the title page. In crystallization he was influenced
by Jean-Baptiste Louis Rome de l'Isle, while most
of his descriptions correspond with those of Johann
Friedrich Wilhelm Widenmann and Ludwig August
Emmerling. Richard Kirwan was relied upon for the
chemical properties and analysis. Babington defines his
classes, orders, genera, and species upon the chemical
qualities, and his varieties on the external characters of
minerals.
Sir John St Aubyn. (BORN: 1758; DIED: 1839) English
politician. St Aubyn was educated at Westminster. He
became sheriff of Cornwall in 1781, and a member of
parliment from Truro, Cornwall in 1784. He was a Fellow of
the Linnean and Royal Societies. His portrait was painted
by Reynolds. St Aubyn purchased William Babington 's
mineral collection for the considerable sum of £3,000.
After several subsequent acquisitions, including in 1799
Richard Greene's collection for Л00, St Aubyn donated
the bulk of the collection to the Civil and Military Library
at Davenport in 1834. Through the years it was moved
several times, eventually ending up in Plymouth in 1924.
There the remains of it are today in the Plymouth City
Museum.

VERY RARE. The authorship of this catalog
is attributed to Babington based upon a manuscript
notation in the British Library copy. It describes a rich
and varied collection of minerals, "selected with much
Science and Expence from several valuable Collections,
especially the well-known Butean ... the Museum
Geversianum and of Professor Gaubius in Holland ...
together with an interesting Series of Specimens from
Mont Blanc, collected by Mr. Voigt" (Address). The
catalog follows the classification scheme outlined in
Babinton's previously published works [see previous

The whole collection is described as being
contained in three Mahogany cabinets, each 6 feet tall,
2.5 feet wide and 1.5 feet deep, with 42 drawers in each
cabinet. Specimens are fully cataloged including the
country locality. The collection was truly world wide in
its nature, and the result of great enthusiasurn on the
part of the collector. Unfortunately, no reference has
been found to specifically identify who this individual
was. However, based upon the shear size and variety
of the collection, the compiler suspects it to be the
product of the famous gentleman mineralogist William
Withering [see note below].
William Withering. (BORN: Wellington, Shropshire,
England, 28 March 1741; DIED: Larches near Birmingham,
England, 6 October 1799) English physician. Withering
graduated with his M.D. from the University of Edinburgh
in 1766. In 1774, he then opened a medical practice in
Birmingham. He was the first to describe native barium
carbonate, later named after him as the mineral species,
witherite. Withering is best known as a botanist, and his
work on the foxglove is a classic. He was elected a Fellow
of the Royal Society of London in 1784. He had collections
of both minerals and plants.

& botanist.
From 1567 to 1600, Bacci was a professor of botany at
the University of Rome. There he lectured on poisons and
described the curative properties of spas, mineral springs
and baths. He was one of the personal physicians to Pope
Sixtus V.

RARE. A classic work on the fossils and some min-
erals found in the region surrounding the city of Nürn-
berg in Germany. Baier's Oryctographia Norica was a
new, systematic attempt to organize the natural min-
eral objects he found around his home city into a co-
herent classification. Baier did not believe in sweeping
theoretical pronouncments, instead the specimens are
fully described with many of the most interesting fossils
depicted on the finely engraved plates. By this means
he laid the foundation for the investigation of Jurassic
fauna and of scientific paleontology in general and help
disprove the notion that fossils were simple jests of na-
ture. He clearly indicates that these fossils were created
in the single act of the Deluge, which he considered the
only great change since the Creation. The foundation
Baier thus created, helped prepare the path for subse-
quent researchers to see the world differently and look
past the myth and create through thorough observation
the science of geology.
The frontispiece depicts a beach with putti pre-
senting Cybele with baskets of ammonites, fossil echin-
oderms, belemnites, etc., while Neptune rides on a shell
on the sea surrounded by naiads bearing baskets of
shells; i.e. the affinities of the living and fossil forms.
This and the six plates (which figure some 300 fossils)
are the work of J.G. Puschner.
Baier clearly states in his forword that supplemen-
tal volumes will appear to expand on the Oryctographia
Norica, but time considerations in his life only allowed
him to publish the rare 1730 supplement. However, at
the time of his death, he had left material enough to al-
low his son Ferdinand to issue an additional supplemen-
tal volume in 1757. The publication of this, probably
caused enough interest that the following year, 1758,
Ferdinand issued what should be considered a rare sec-
ond edition of the Oryctographia Norica, with a rework-
ing of his father's original text, and a small number of
plates.
German, 1958: An excellent modern German
translation with extensive commentary of Oryktographia
Norica and its 1730 supplemental volume appears
in Erlanger Geologische Abhandlungen, 29 (1958), [1]-
133 p. Besides a good introduction, there is included
biographical information, much data of a historical
interest, reproductions of the title pages, text figures and
reproductions of the plates.
Ferdinand Jakob Baier. (BORN: Altorf, Germany, 13
February 1707; DIED: Ansbach, Germany, 23 October 1788)
German physician. Baier was the son of JOHANN JACOB
BAIER. He had a medical practice in Nurnburg, Germany.
He was elected a member, later becoming president, of the
Leopoldina Academy [Academy of Natural Scientists].

BAKEWELL, Robert. (Born: 1768; Died:
Hampstead near London, England, 15 August 1843)
English geologist.
Bakewell made extensive mineralogical and geological
surveys in England and Ireland, after which he lectured and
exhibited sections of rock formations and the beginnings of
a geological map of Britain. From 1820 to '22, Bakewell
traveled throughout France and Switzerland, extending his
geological surveys. His published account of these travels,
published in 1823, was a popular work with the public. He
invented a safety furnace for preventing explosions in coal
mines.

SCARCE. In the preface, Bakewell gives an
overview of the progress of mineralogy in Europe,
emphasising the contributions of René Just Haüy and
Abraham Gottlob Werner. He indicates this work
should be used by students of mineralogy in England
to help acquaint them with the science. The text is
arranged into five books. Book I (pp. 1-198) covers
preliminary observations and introductory theory in 10
chapters. Included is an overview of the classification
system of Haüy that is used within the descriptive
portion with some modification. Book II (pp. 199-465)
reviews the essential characters of the earthy minerals,
including on pages 202-219 a table of minerals arranged
by specific gravity and on pages 220-231 a similar table
arranged according to their hardness. An appendix to
Book II takes up pages 466-498. Book III (pp. 499-
616) concerns the metallic species. Book IV (pp. 617-
634) describes the combustible minerals, and Book V
(pp. 635-642) arranges the saline minerals. The five
folding plates, numbered I-V are unsigned and mostly
show crystal drawings.

RARE. Presented as a letter to Saverio Manetti,
professor and Secretary of the SociETÀ BOTTANICA DI
FlRENZE. Part one deals with the natural history,
geology, and mineralogy of the region of Siena, Italy,
and particularly with salt, discussing its mineralogical,
chemical and medicinal aspects. Part two consists of a
catalog of the collection of natural history products of
the state of Siena, formed by a local nobleman, Giovanni
Venturi Gallerani. It describes 167 specimens, mostly
minerals, fossils and stones, with extensive notes. The
title pages of the parts would indicate that the work was
also sold as two separate and independent volumes.

Barba
BARBA, Alvaro Alonso. (BORN: Lepe, Huelva, Spain,
15 November 1569; DlED: Potosí, Peru [now Bolivia],
1662) Spanish theologian.
Barba entered church and became priest at Tarabuco,
South America, cl609. He resided at Lepas, Peru,
1617. Then he became pastor of St. Bernards at Potosi,
Columbia, a rich mining district. While there, Barba began
studying the minerals, mining, and refining processes of
the mines in the district. The whole of his knowledge he
recorded in his Arte De Los Metales (1st ed., Madrid, 1640),
which was kept as secret as possible by the Spaniards. He
was the probable discoverer of process for extraction of
gold, silver and copper by boiling ore with salt solution
and mercury in copper vessel, cl607.

VERY RARE. The first significant book in Spanish
on metals, minerals and mines of the New World. As a
handbook on the mineral riches of the new territories,
this title was banned by the Inquisition and severely
limited in this its first printing, and consequently is
a rarely encountered title. This book is complete
with descriptions, practical directions, explanations,
and illustrations of equipment for smelting gold, silver
and copper. It was the first significant treatise on
metals and minerals written in Spanish, and one of
the few seventeenth century work's that was largely
orginal. Barba advocated the laboratory control of the
entire plant process, as well as computation of all costs
associated with metal recovery. He describes in-depth
his newly invented process of treating silver and gold
ores with a mercury amalgamation in a copper vessel,
to enhance metal recovery. It describes the fabulous
wealth of the Spanish possessions in the New World,
and as such the Spanish government attempted to keep
Barba's book and methods secret. However, in 1669,
the English ambassador, the Earl of Sandwich got a
hold of a copy and published an English translation in
1670 that resulted in a large number of editions and
translations. This work describes the amalgamation
process used in Potosi, giving detailed accounts of
ores and minerals of South America. Also covers the
generation and origin of metals. The illustation shows
a balance in a glass case, the first such illustration.
The editions of 1630 and 1639, recorded by many
bibliographies, are probably due to printer's error for
1640, which is the first appearance of Barba's work.

Rare. Barba's scarce original text and illustrations
on mining and metallurgy were reprinted here for the first
time, almost ninety years after their first appearance. The
publisher Francisco Assensio, in his dedicatory remarks,
proclaims his purpose in issuing Barba's text is to assure
the "perpetuity of its fame." Appended to Barba's work at
page 192 is the second printing of another earlier work on
the ancient mines of the Spanish empire, Alonso Carrillo
y Laso 's Tratado de las Antiguas Minas de España (1st ed.,
Madrd, 1624).

Rare. Translated by the Right Honorable
Edward, Earl of Sandwich from Arie De Los Metales
(1st ed., Madrid, 1640). As ambassador to Spain,
the Earl managed to obtain a copy of the supressed
Spanish original of Barba's important text on mining
and metallurgy in the New World. He translated the
first two of the five books, and had them published
as two separate volumes. Unfortunately, the translator
lacked technical knowledge, and the text is considerably
flawed. None the less, it was this translation that was
reprinted several times and used as the foundation for
the German and French editions.

English translation of Barba's complete text. The 1670
translation was only of the first two books and is of
little value since the Earl of Sandwich lacked technical
knowledge.
Mountagu Edward, First Earl of Sandwich. (BORN: 1625;
DIED: 1672) English nobility & ambassador. Sandwich was
an admiral and general at sea, who distinguished himself at
Naseby and the storming of Bristol in 1645. He resigned his
command in 1659, but was reappointed in 1660. He sailed
to Holland to convey Charles II to England. He was created
Earl of Sandwich in 1660. He negotiated the marriage
between Charles II and Catherine of Braganza, receiving
the surrender of Tangier and conducting the queen to
England in 1661. In 1666, he was appointed ambassador
extraordinary to Madrid, where he successfully concluded a
treaty with Spain. He was second in command of the fleet
at the outbreak of war with the Dutch in 1672, and was
subsequently blown up with his ship, when the fleet was
surprised at Solebay. His body is buried at Westminster
Abbey.

SCARCE. This is a collection of three separate
treatises concerned with mineralogy, mining and met-
allurgy that had each previously been separately pub-
lished. The first edition of this collected edition was
published in 1738. In 1739 and again in 1740, to meet
public demand, the work was again reissued. Although
not indicated in the text, chapters 1-60 are a translation
of the first two parts of Barbas treatise and chapters 61-
72 are a reprint of Plattes work.
[A]. Albaro Alonso Barba. In 1640, the Arte De
Los Metales was published at Madrid in a very small
edition. It is the first description of the silver mines,
minerals and metallurgical processes of the New World,
primarily in the area of Bolivia and Peru. Contained
therein are descriptions of how the rich veins formed
and their look, taste and smell. Various properties of
metals and stones are discussed together with observa-
tions on how other veins might be located, most partic-
ularly gold and silver. Copper, iron, lead, tin, mercury
are also described. The work then goes into the vari-
ous methods for the refining of the ores to pure metals,
including the importance of sorting, grinding, roasting,
and fluxes used when heating. The most important ob-
servation is Barbas announcement of a process for the
extraction of gold, silver and copper by boiling ore with
salt solution and mercury in a copper vessel. This was
a discovery that allowed the mines of the New World
to operate with greater efficiency in filling the Spanish
treasury.
The Spanish government considered any publica-
tion dealing with the New World to be a state secret —
Barbas work especially so, since it dealt with the min-
eral wealth. Consequently, to keep the secret better,
the first edition of 1640 was printed in a very small edi-
tion. In addition, the penalty for the unauthorized sale
of a copy of Barbas 1640 work was a certain and painful
death by the Inquisition. However, this did not stop the
Earl of Sandwich from smuggling a copy out of Spain,
and publishing the first English edition in 1670. Proba-
bly since the English Crown did not want to provoke a
diplomatic incident with Spain, this English edition was
also published in a small number. It was not until the
translation of Barbas work appeared in these collected
editions, that it became available to a large readership.

Barba
[В]. Gabriel Plattes. Plattes work, A Discovery of
all Sorts of Mines from Gold to Coal was originally pub-
lished as a very rare separate book in London in 1639
under the title, A Discovery of Subterraneall Treasure,
viz. Of all manner of Mines and Mineralls, from Gold
to the Coale. However, it is far more common to find
it bound within an edition of these collected works. It
is an interesting treatise on mineralogy, and considered
the first useful text in English on metallurgical matters.
The short tract contains a wealth of factual information
illustrated by the authors own experiments. The work
also is interesting for its account of the gold and silver
mines in New England, Virginia and the Bermudas, as
well as other parts of America. Besides dealing in great
detail with assaying, the author provides a recipe by
which he claims to have produced pure gold, but at a
cost greater than the value obtained. One chapter is
devoted to all kinds of vegetable dyes, which Plattes
preferred to mineral dyes.
[C]. Thomas Houghton. First published in 1681
under the title, fiara Avis in Terris: or, the Com-pleat
Miner, this work was reprinted as an independent entity
several times before it appeared in this collected edition.
This book is important as the first published statement
on English mining laws and customs as used by the lead
miners in Derbyshire. Houghton claims of the second
book, "the art of dialling and levelling grooves, a thing
greatly desired by all miners, being a subject never be-
fore written by any." A dictionary clarifying mining
terms is appended.
Reissue, 1739: A collection of scarce and valuable
Treatises upon Metals, Mines, and Minerals ... Part I. and
II. Containing the Art of Metals. Written originally in Spanish.

Gold to Coal. Part IV. Houghton's Compleat Miner. London,
1739. 8°: xii, 215, [4], [66] p., illust., one plate.
Gabriel Plattes. (BORN: 1600?; DIED: London,
England, 1655?) English scientist. Practically nothing is
known of Plattes. He is thought to be of Dutch extraction,
and he was an author on agricultural subjects. His notable
work on the subject is A Discovery of Infinite Treasure
(London, 1639). He was an original thinker and thorough
scientist, who insisted on practical experimentation to
confirm hypothesis. Though described as the "original
genius in husbandry," he was neglected in his lifetime.
Despite his poverty, he refused to beg for money and
eventually died of starvation. His body was found in the
street.
Thomas Houghton. (BORN: ; DIED: ) English
author. An English writer on mining and legal matters.

RARE. Translation from Barba's text contained
in A Collection of Scarce and Valuable Treatises
upon Metals, Mines, and Minerals (London, 1740).
This is the earliest work on mining and minerals
published at a colonial American press, and as such
has interest as the earliest known book on mining,
metallurgy and mineralogy published in the land that
would become The United States of America. In this
instance, the book was published at the famous press
of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, known as the Brudershaft,
which operated in 1763, and published only two works.
The text consists of two parts. The second, has its own
title page: "Das zweyte Buch, von den Metallen, darin
gelehrt wird der gemeine Weg, wie man das Silber durch
quecksilber reiniget: dazu etliche neue Regeln gefügt sid
darin gedachte Arbeit mehr erläutert wird."

VERY SCARCE. The author set of for Guiana at the
end of the year 1721 and left in 1724. He explored the
rivers Kourou and the Orapus while studying flora and
fauna and the customs of the inhabitants. The work
also deals with sugar trade and with the Negro slaves
and the various native tribes and includes details on the
commerce and trade. This is the first important work
on Guiana and formed the major source of the 18th
century knowledge. It is distinct from the author's Essai
sur l'Histoire Naturelle de la. France Equioxials and is
not another edition thereof. Although interesting in
many subjects, this appears to have little of interest to
mineralogy.

RARE. Barreré made a special study of the origin
and formation of figured stones (i.e., fossils) that he
had discovered in the Pyrenees. This work contains his
insightful observations. For example Barreré supposes
that the reason fossil shells are found on the tops of the
highest Alps and the rocks of the Pyrenees is because
the land had formerly formed a basin in a great ancient
sea. The two engraved plates show good depictions of
figured stones and fossils.

VERY RARE. This is Bartholin's work treatise
on the shape of ice crystals which speculates on the
internal structure of snow crystals. This work has
sometimes incorrectly been called the earliest treatise
on crystallography, because it precedes Boyles work
on gems by eleven years. However, Kepler's Sterna
Seu De Niue Sexángula. (Francofurti, 1611), which also
discusses the shape of snow crystals, is much earlier still.

Rare. This is the first work after Avicenna to
discuss refrigeration anesthesia. The Neapolitan surgeon
Marco Aureliano Severino [1580-1656] reintroduced the
use of snow and ice as an anesthetic agent in the
seventeenth century, and his pupil Bartholin described
Severinos methods in this work. Refrigeration anesthesia
was employed successfully in amputations as late as the
nineteenth century. Added to Bartholin's work is a treatise
on the shape of ice crystals written by his younger brother
Erasmus. Also included in this work is a bibliography of
Thomas Bartholin's published works.

same time. The work essentially describes a wide range
of experiments performed on Iceland spar, a variety
of the mineral calcite. Beginning with descriptions of
the rhornbohedral shape of the crystals, and noting
that any pieces broken from a specimen are also
rhornbohedral, the author continues his experiments
to define the physical characteristics of the specimens.
Included among these are observations of its relative
hardness, of its tendency toward cleavage, of its ease of
decomposition when treated with acid, and of its ability
to hold an electric charge when rubbed or heated. The
remainder of the book describes Bartholin's discovery of
double refraction, i.e. the physical property of Iceland
spar (and other substances) to split light rays such
that two images are seen when an object is viewed
through the crystal. The author questions the character
of double refraction, including its behavior when the
crystal is turned, its angle of refraction and its existence
in other substances. Bartholin then postulates a theory
to explain the phenomena, which is based on pairs of
pores, existing along cleavage planes inside the crystal,
reflecting "corpuscula" of light at different angles.

note below], secretary of the Royal Society of London, set
about writing a translation of Bartholin's work. It was
published as: "An Accompt of sundry Experiments made

Henry Oldenburg. (BORN: Bremen, Germay, cl618;
DIED: Charlton, near Greenwich, England, 5 September
1677) English scientist. Oldenburg graduated from the
University of Utrecht in 1641, and he matriculated at
Oxford from 1657 to 1658. He taught in the Paedogogium
of Bremen. Later he became a professor in the newly
established University of Dorpat, in what is now Estonia.
Although it is known that Oldenburg matriculated in the
University of Utrecht in 1641, nothing is known with
assurance about what he did during the following twelve
years, but there is presumptive evidence that he was a
tutor during these years. In 1656 he became tutor to
Boyle's nephew, Richard Jones, later the third Viscount
Ranelagh and first Earl of Ranelagh. Oldenburg made a
profession of scientific administration. He founded a system
of records in the Royal Society that is still followed, created
an international correspondence of scientists, and founded
the first scientific journal, The Philosophical Transactions of
the Royal Society of London. Oldenburg began publishing in
1665 the Philosophical Transactions, which were his personal
enterprise, to make money, although he never made as
much as he hoped. He also translated papers for the
London Gazette. He also translated and published works
from abroad. He translated at least two of Boyle's works
into Latin, and he appears to have functioned effectively as
the publisher for a number of Boyle's works.
Karl Mieleitner. (BORN: Munich, Bavaria, Germany,
31 March 1890; DIED: Munich, Bavaria, Germany, 15 March
1923) German mineralogist & historian of mineralogy. Born
the son of a shoemaker, Mieleitner became in 1913 assistant
for the Bavarian state mineral collection at the University
of Munich, where in 1919 he succeeded F. Grünlung
as 'Konservator.' He was an enthusiastic and energetic
worker, producing several papers within a few years. He
developed an interest in the history of mineralogy and
published before his early death German translations, with
authoritative notes, of the old works of Steno, Bartholin
and Cappeller.

BARTHOLOMAEUS ANGLICUS. (Born: England,
cll90; DIED: Magdeburg, Germany?, cl250) English
theologian & encyclopedia.
An Englishman by birth he had been professor of
theology at the University of Paris, when, in 1224 or
1225, he entered the newly established Order of St. Francis
in company with his countryman and fellow-professor of
theology, Hayrno of Faversham, and two other professors
of the same faculty. He continued his lectures at the
claustral school until 1231, when he was sent to Magdeburg
in Germany. There he took on the role as the new lector.
Nothing definitive is known about the life of Bartholomäus
after he left Paris in 1231. His life at Magdeburg was
probably spent in teaching and reorganizing the Franciscan
school there. The date of Bartholomäus' death is unknown,
but it is thought that he died about the middle of the
thirteenth century. He was formerly identified with a later
Franciscan and Englishman, Bartholomaeus of Glanvilla,
or Glaunvilla, who died about 1360, and to him the
famous work De Proprietatibus Rerum was ascribed. Recent
research places beyond doubt that the two men must
be distinguished and that the authorship of the work in
question must be attributed to the Magdeburg professor of
1231, and that the Glanville descriptor should be removed
from his name.

De Pr.oprietatibus Rerum, 1472
capittulorurn bertholomei | anglici de jprietatibus reru" ;
248, Blank.
Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. While older
authorities give precedence to the Basel edition, printed
by Ruppel, it can now be stated that this is the
first printed edition of Bartholomaeus, since the early
manuscript dates found in two Ruppel books have been
shown to be forgeries, and as it now seems that Ruppel
did not begin printing in Basel until after 1472.
Besides being the first printed edition, this
Cologne issue is important for its connection to William
Caxton [see note below]. The Cologne city ledgers
record that Caxton arrived in the city in July 1471
(Birch) to learn the process and art of printing. In 1471,
Johann Veldener [see note below] chose Bartholomaeus'
encyclopedia as his first project, and accepted Caxton
as his pupil. However, indications are that Caxton's
role was considerably more important as a financier.
"The necessary capital is more likely to have come
from Caxton than Veldener who had only recently
achieved independence by the establishment of his own
printing office and who therefore would have been close
to the limits of his financial capacity. Under these
circumstances, would he have dared on his own to
venture the publication of so large a book? There
is the further possibility that Veldener got together
the necessary funds by charging the Englishman for
instruction in the art of printing" (Corsten). Thus this
edition is the earliest example of Caxton's printing.
De Proprietatibus Rerum was the most popular
encyclopaedia of the thirteenth century, which has
been called the age of encyclopaedias. The intellectual
renaissance of the preceding century had stimulated a
desire for learning. It was impossible for a large number
of students to acquire first hand knowledge of every
science and the universities could not accommodate all
those who wished to learn. Therefore some means of
spreading knowledge was required. The problem was
solved by writing encyclopaedias that collected together
the opinions of the best known authorities. These
works varied in comprehensiveness and arrangement,
but the educational aim was never forgotten. These
books were to be used as textbooks and works of
references for the preachers and scholars that did not
have access to a library and who could not afford to
collect one of their own. In fact, Bartholomaeus wrote
his compilation primarily for the student of theology
and for the preacher as he explains in the Prohemium.
De Proprietatibus Rerurn was written as an
ordered encyclopedia of all the sciences of the time:
theology, philosophy, medicine, astronomy, chronology,
zoology, botany, geography, mineralogy, are the
subjects treated in this work. It is the first important
encyclopedia written in the Middle Ages and the first
in which the works of Greek, Arabian, and Jewish
naturalists and medical writers, which had recently
been translated from Arabic into Latin, were included
as contributions. Aristotle, Hippocrates, Theophrastus,
the Jew Isaac Medicus, the Arabian Haly, and other
researchers are frequently quoted. Even in the age
before mechanical printing, the De Proprietatibus
Rerum enjoyed widespread popularity as is shown by
the many dozens of manuscripts still in existence. In
manuscript form, it was translated into five European
languages: French, English, Spanish, Provençal and
Italian. Thus, it had a widespread appeal to the general
population and had a great influence on the cirriculum
of the medieval university.
Bartholomaeus based the structure of his book on
the Etymologiarum Libri Duo written by the learned
theologian, ISIDORE OF SEVILLE between 62.3 a.D. and
633 A.D. The 20 sections found in Isidore are reduced
and rearranged to 19 by Bartholomaeus; however, he
follows his own method in compiling the observations
and adheres to the accepted medieval form of quoting
ancient authorities. Sprinkled throughout the text are
his own observations that give the De Proprietatibus
Rerum a unique flavor.
The 19 books of Bartholomaeus' text are ordered
thusly: (1) God, (2) Angels and Demons, (3) Of the
Soul and Reason, (4) Of the Body's Essences, (5) The
Human Body and Each of its Parts, (6) The Ages of
Man (Family Life and Household Economy), (7) Of
Infirmities and Medicines, (8) Of the World and the
Heavenly Bodies (Cosmology and Astrology), (9) Of
Time and the Divisions of Time, (10) The Material,
Form, and Properties of the Elements, (11) Of the
Air and its Natural Phenomena (Meteorology), (12) Of
Winged Creatures, (13) Of Waters and Fish, (14) Of the
Earth and its Features, (15) Of its Provinces (Political

and Economic Geography), (16) Mineralogy, including
precious and semiprecious stones, sand, coal, Bezoar
stones, etc., (17) On Plants and Trees (A Herbal), (18)
Of Animals, and (19) On Non-Essential Characteristics
(i.e., Colors, Tastes, Odors, etc.), and a Miscellany
on Food, Drink, Eggs, Weights and Measures, Music,
and Musical Instruments. This ordering which can
be classified into four distinct sections suggests that
Bartholomaeus carefully planned his work.
The order of the De Proprietatibus Rerum is
founded on a medieval logic of progression. The first
three books form the first section with God, as the
supreme creator and the prime moving force, with
angles, demons and the soul all occupying the first
position. Next comes the second part (books 4-7)
devoted to the important factors that affect the life of
man. The third section (books 8-18) treats the universe
and may be subdivided into two parts. The first (books
8-13) has as its subject the world in general while the
second (books 14-18) describes the earth in particular,
including in book 16 metals, stones and minerals. The
fourth section is composed solely of the nineteenth book
in which everything not previously discussed finds a
place including colors, odors, liquids, weighs, measures,
music, etc. Since this work was intended as a reference
to show mans place in God's universe, the text provides
examples of good and bad conduct, and illustrates for
him the principals of Christianity.
Since the greatest importance was assigned
to theological matters, it became fairly simple
for Bartholomaeus to ignore the accuracy of his
descriptions. Hence we find him with no clear idea
of the locations of Egypt or India, the latter being a
vague term which medieval men used to refer to the vast
territory that stretched beyond Arabia. Bartholomaeus'
own eyes would have told him that bees do not carry
small stones to weight them against the wind, and that
crabs do not employ stones to keep oyster shells propped
open while they dine on the contents. It was as obvious
then as now that the legs of a fox are not shorter on the
right side, and that swiftly moving currents are not the
cause of oars becoming disjointed in appearance when
dipped under water. Yet we cannot blame hirn for being
a man of his time.
William Caxton. (BORN: Tenderton, Kent, England,
cl416; DIED: London, England, 1491) English printer,
translator & linguist. Caxton was the first to print books in
English. He served an apprenticeship as a mercer and about
1441 he relocated to Bruges and established a successful
business there. In 1462 Caxton was selected governor of
the Merchants Adventurers in the Low Countries, serving
as a diplomat for the English king. He learned the art
of printing in Cologne between 1471-2, and at Brugge in
1475 he and Colard Mansion printed The Recuyell of the
Historyes of Troye, his own translation from the French, and
the first book printed in English. In 1476 he returned to
England, and established the first English print shop at
Westminster in 1477. There he printed Dictes or Sayengis of
the Philosophres, the first dated book printed in England.
Caxton is known to have printed about 100 books, many
dealing with themes of chivalry. He was the translator,
from French, Latin, and Dutch, of about one third of the
books that he printed, and for some he wrote original
prologues, epilogues, and additions. His books are of
superb craftsmanship and are carefully edited. One of
the typefaces used by Caxton is the original Old English
type. Wynkyn de Worde, his successor as a printer, was
his assistant at Westminster.
Johann Veldener. (BORN: ; DIED: cl487) Dutch
printer. Native of the Diocese of Würzburg, Veldener set
up his first press in the town of Louvain in 1473. In 1478, he
moved to Ultrecht and reestablished his print shop there.

the first edition, however, recent studies have shown that
it is instead a second edition [see the commentary on the
previous entry].
Berthold Ruppel. (BORN: Hanau, Germany, ; DIED:
1494/5) German printer. Ruppel was the first printer in
Basel. He published numerous works between 1460 and his

VERY RARE. Dutch translation probably commis-
sioned and certainly printed by Jacob Bellaert [see note
below]. This is the first Dutch edition of the famous ency-
clopedia, and the first of all the editions to contain illus-
trations.
Indications are that this production was designed
from the start to be a sumptuous publication. For setting
the text Bellart used a beautiful, newly designed font in the
Gothic style. Each of the eleven woodcut illustrations acts
as a full-page frontispiece introducing the individual sec-
tions of Bartholomaeus text. Some of these plates serve for
two sections by rather ingeniously incorporating isolated
motifs laid against a broad, unifying landscape. For ex-
ample, stones and gems are scattered here and there along
the banks of a stream on the plate that also introduces the
description of plants. These illustrations are finely detailed
depictions by the anonymous artist whose woodcuts in this
and other of Bellaert's books has earned him the descriptor:
"The Bellaert Master." The book was issued on Christmas
Eve 1485 ("op Kerstavont, 1485") making this volume com-
parable to the modern Christmas edition. Finally, it is the
only book from the press of Bellaert that is signed in the
colophon as being produced by his establishment. He was
obviously and deservedly proud of this publication.
The eleven woodcuts each measure approximately
200 x 140 mm. and represent Solomon as judge, seated in
the middle, before him the clerk of the court, to the left
Belial as prosecutor and to the right Moses, Christ's coun-
sel for the defense (llv); the creation of angels and fall
of demons (18v); the creation of Eve and anatomical man
(30v); the ages of man, a physician and a surgeon attending
patients (105v); the earth and the spheres (161v); occupa-
tions of the months (188v); birds (217v); fishes (233v): a
landscape showing a river and towns (247v), trees, plants,
stones and gems (287v) and animals and reptiles (368v).
In all 32 different woodblocks were cut, and printed in con-
tinually changing combinations.
Jacob Bellaert. (BORN: Zierikzee, The Netherlands,
cl450; DIED: ) Dutch printer. Bellaert was the
first printer in Haarlem. His earliest book was published
in Lijden in December 1483. An important part of the
books he printed were the splendid woodcut illustrations.
The only one of his works that is signed is his issue of
Bartholomaeus Anglicus's Van de proprieteiten der dingen
(1485). In 1486 several other titles can be traced to hirn as
well.
The fifteenth-century illustrators of books and
woodcutters are veiled in still far greater anonymity than
the printers at the time. Jacob Bellaert escaped from such
anonymity by once including his name in a colophon. In art
history he may now serve as the namegiver for the unknown
illustrator: the Bellaert master.
The illustration shows Solomon as judge, seated in
the middle; before him the clerk of the court, to the left
Belial as prosecutor and to the right Moses, Christ's counsel
for the defence. Three woodblocks were used, one for
the centre and two for the sidepieces. In all 32 different
woodblocks were cut, and printed in continually changing
combinations. For the illustrations in the Belial reprints of
1512 and 1516 by the Antwerp printer Hendrik Eckert van
Homberch, Bellaert's woodblocks, then 30 years old, were
used again.

solid black and deeply shaded background, and in many
ways strongly suggest that they are derived from metal-
engravings rather than woodcut originals." (Goldschmidt)

VERY RARE. First printing of the Spanish translation
done in 13?? by Vicente de Burgos [see note below]. The
printer was Henricus Mayer [see note below] of Toulouse,
and the work was completed on 18 September 1494.
First Spanish edition of the great encyclopedia of
natural science compiled circa 1235 by the Franciscan
Batholomew from England, who taught theology at Paris
and later at the school of his order at Magdeburg. The work
is a summary of knowledge current among educated men
of the Middle Ages. It is arranged by subject in 19 books
(God and the angels, the soul, the human body, physical
geography, mineralogy; fauna and flora; colors; odors,
weight and measures, musical instrurnens, medicine etc.)
and is much more extensive than any earlier books on the
same subject. Especially the Geography chapter (Libro XV
"Delas provincias") shows an advanced state of knowledge,
describing 173 countries and provinces. "The political
geography of Europe contains a quantity of information
which had not been put together before." Sarton, II, 586.
This extremely rare incunable is illustrated with 18
large woodcuts, including one repeat and the arms of
Castile and Aragon on title; woodcut printer's device at the
end, 6 woodcut diagrams including a small T-map on leaf
179. The woodcuts include a depiction of physicians with a
patient, people working in a mine, birds, a larger one of the
zodiac etc... They appear to be very free copies of those in
Mathias Huss' French editions of 1485 and 1491/92.
Vicente de Burgos. (BORN: ; DIED: ) Spanish
Jesuit. Burgos lived in the second half of the fifteenth
century, and was the Spanish translator of Bartholomaeus
Anglicus.
Henricus Mayer. (BORN: ; DIED: ) Spanish
printer.

VERY RARE. Separate printing by Paul Hurus [see note
below] of the section on metals and stones from the 1494

one of the first separate books to solely treat mineralogy,
and it is preceeded by Albertus Magnus and several early
lapidaries.

History
Bartholomaeus Anglicus
Xylographie title repeated with the white on black wording,
"Bartholomeu de | proprietatib3 reTJ.."
VERY RARE. Translation by John Trevisa [see note
below] of De Propietatibus Rerum and printed from a
manuscript copy by Wynkyn de Worde [see notes below].
The 19 woodcut illustrations in the text are based on
those in the Dutch 1485 edition and various French editions
published in Lyon.
This is the first English book printed entirely on
paper made in England. The "chancery" size format was
manufactured by John Tate (so credited in the colophon)
at the first English mill established in the 1490 's. In
the nineteenth century a copy of Trevisa's manuscript was
presented to the library at Columbia University by George
Plimpton. It is described as an "English manuscript on
vellum, of 388 leaves, England, circa 1440. It is John
of Trevisa's translation of Bartholomaeus' comprehensive
thirteenth century encyclopedia and bears printers' marks
throughout, indicating that type was set from this copy for
the first edition printed in England by Wynkyn de Worde
in 1495."
John de Trevisa. (BORN: Crocadon, in St. Mellion,
near Saltash, Cornwall, England, 1362; DIED: Berkeley,
England, 1412) English translator. Trevisa was a fellow
of Exeter College, Oxford from 1362 to 1369. Later he
became a fellow of Queen's College, but was expelled in
1379 by the Archbishop of York for unworthiness. Prior to
1387, he entered into the service of Thomas, 4th Baron of
Berkeley, as chaplain and vicar of Berkeley. Trevisa was not
an original writer, but a diligent translator, whose works
became the source for many English incunabulum.
Wynkyn de Worde. (BORN: Worth, Alsace, France,
; DIED: London, England?, 1534?) French printer &
stationer. His real name was Jan van Wynkyn ('Worde'
being merely a place name). As a young man, he came
to England and was employed as an apprentice in the
printing establishment of William Caxton. He probably
accompanied Caxton to Bruges in 1476. In 1491, after
Caxton 's death, Wynkyn took over the printing business
in Westminster. Between 1493 and 1500, Wynkyn issued
at least 110 different works. This remarkable output
continued until his death making his press more prolific
than any other printer in operation before 1600.

selected by the Archbishop as a domestic chaplain, and
employed him in collection of the library of Corpus Christi
College, Cambridge. In 1573, he was appointed rector of
Merstham in Surrey. In 1582 he was one of the domestic
chaplains of Henry Cary, Lord Hunsdon. He resided for
some time at Leedes, in Kent.

VERY SCARCE. Essentially a series of lectures on
the natural history and geology of Ardmagh county,
Ireland. But, in the style of the day, the author
has attempted to cast it into the Newtonian mold of
propositions, demonstrations, and lemmas, thus to give
it a more 'mathematical' air. Most of the lectures are
centered on the geology, mining and mineralogy of the
region, and thus provide an interesting 18th century
prespective.

Supposed Benedictine monk of the fourteenth
century, but no trace of him has ever been found in the

Rare. In the Triumph Wagen Antimonii, the
author made the first detailed description of antimony
and its compounds (preparation of antimony trioxide).
This work brings together many facts and speculations
on the chemistry of antimony, its combinations and its
use in medicine. The descriptions of the preparations of
the various compounds are written in a clear style. The
book also contains translations of the works of Bacon,
Rodocher and Issacus Hollandus. Many chemical
preparations of the first importance are described in
this work, and Basilius Valentinus has been hailed as
the Father of Modern Chemistry. In his honor the
mineral valentinite, an antimony oxide, was named in
the nineteenth century.
The book contains the following treatises, which
are followed by an index: 1. Triumph Wagen Antimonii,
Fratris Basilii Valentini (p. 1-264). 2. Von der Tinctur
oder Oleo Stibii, Rogeri Baconis Angli (p. 265-296). 3.

Hollandi (p. 477-523). 7. Philosophisch Betrachtung,

Rare. This translation (the second in English)
of Valentine's famous treatise was made by Richard
Russell, who translated several alchemical works in
the 17th Century. It was first published in 1604 and
is regarded as one of the earliest monographs on a
chemical element ... there is no doubt but that his
treatise brought together into one volume the facts of
the chemistry of antimony and its combinations, and
its uses in medicine in a form that made his book the
standard work on that subject for many decades. The
work is, in far as its chemistry is concerned, clear and
comprehensible for its time.

SCARCE. One from the series of the Text-Books
of Science. The author designed the text around two
principles. First that it should be a useful guide to
students wishing to acquire a flavor of the subject and
second, to serve as an elementary introduction to more
comprehensive textbooks on the subject, such as Dana,
Des Cloizeaux, and Miller. Bauerman has been guided
by Groth's PhysiJcaiische Krystallographie (Leipzig,
1876) and Rammelsberg's Handbuch der Mineralchemie
(Leipzig, 1875) in his descriptions, while utilizing the
crystallographic notation of Miller.

SCARCE. In the preface, Bauerman describes the
growing difficulty in condensing the growing amount of
information about mineralogy into such a limited book.
Therefore, he has included data on only the more important
mineralogical species. For the purposes of illustration, the
original wood blocks from 'Brooke and Miller' were used
(i.e., Phillips, Mineralogy, London, 1852).

VERY RARE. This is an early treatise describing
the bezoar of mystical and medical properties of
calculi formed in the kidneys and guts of various
animals. Such stones and similar animal calculi were
the subject of intense interest from Classical times due
to their supposed property as an antidote to poison
or as an ingredient in various medical preparations.
Bauhinus' treatise is one of the earliest to treat the
subject and it is replete with mystical suppositions and
historical notes. Its 46 chapters provide descriptions
and discussions of the various specimen types as well as
methods for determining real stones from imitations.
Throughout the author has included considerable
historical information, especially in reference to these
stones used as medical remedies and antidotes.

Joannes Bauhin
Of French Protestant ancestry, Bauhin was born to
parents exiled in Basel, Switzerland. He was educated in
Basel under the exiled Italian religious reformer Coelius
Curione [1503-1569] and in Zurich under the famous Swiss
naturalist CONRAD GESNER. From 1560 to 1563, after
completing his studies, Bauhin made an extensive trip
throughout Europe, afterward settling in Lyons, France,
where he established a medical practice. In 1568, he
was forced to flee back to Switzerland when a wave of
religious persecution swept France, but in 1571 he was
appointed physician Duke Frederick, ruler of Wurtemberg
and Montbéliard. He built extensive botanical gardens, and
collected minerals in the Alps with Gesner and others.

VERY RARE. Historia Novi et Admirabilis
comprises four books, of which the first three provide a
description of the medicinal virtues of European mineral
waters and baths, based on the study of the sprints at
Bad Boll, near Groppingen, Wiirtemburg. It is one
of the first illustrated books on minerals, gems and
also contains an early record of cultivated fruit with
a series of early illustrations. This was alsoo the most
detailed work on the subject of balneology written in
the sixteenth century, and it became Bauhin's most
popular treatise. The fourth book, written almost like
an appendix, is much more unusual in covering the
local natural history in considerable detail. It utilizes
fine woodcuts to illustrate the descriptions, and these
comprise 210 of fossils and minerals, 60 of apples, 41
of pears, 2 of plants and 16 of insects, making this one
of the very few illustrated works concerning mineralogy
printed in the sixteenth century. After the main part of
text, there follows a Paraiipomena, with 11 woodcuts,
including 7 of fungi, and 2 which perhaps show the
preparation of flax. Finally, the text includes 3 leaves

of commendatory verses. In the first part, Bauhin
has included a list of authorities that are cited in the
text. Among these are several works authored by
CONRAD Gesner, whose mineralogical work perhaps
inspired Bauhin to prepare this exceptional illustrated
mineralogy.
Unknown to most bibliographers is that there are
several issues of the first edition. The persumed first
issue was published with a portrait of Bauhin printed
on the verso of the title page. This beautiful renaissance
portrait shows the author with a plant in his right hand
and his left hand on a skull. The portrait has the dates
1541 and 1597, the first date being the date of birth
and the other one the date of the portrait. However,
this issue does not contain the six-page illustrated
supplement on fungi, "Paralipomena." Another issue
lacks the portrait but does contain the supplement. A
third issue contains the portrait and the supplement,
but to date the compiler has only encountered this in
one copy.

interesting description of stones, fossils, fruits, plants,
insects, etc. found in the area of Bad Boll. The first
edition was published as the fourth part of Bauhin 's Historia

BAUMEISTER, Joseph Anton Ignaz Edler von.
(BORN: Vienna, Austria, 20 November 1750; DIED:
Vienna, Austria, 6 October 1819) Austrian author &
publisher.
Baumeister was the son of a civil official and studied
at the University of Vienna. In 1770, he published a
dissertation concerning the history of the Steiermark state.
In 1792, he was entrusted by Kaiser Franz II with the
education of his sons, the Princes Ludwig and Rudolf. In
recognition of this service, he was awarded with a position
of advisor to the government. In his retirement, Baumeister
worked on a chronology of world history.

VERY SCARCE. The volume described was
published as the fourth number of Die Welt in Bildern
(6 vols., Vienna, 1788-92), which was directed towards
juveniles. The set's focus was to show the young reader
a comprehensive view of the world through realistic
pictures. This part treats things dug from the earth
by marvelously illustrating a wide variety of minerals,
agates and marble samples. Johann Sollander [see
note below] prepared the master plates from actual
specimens, and his effort shows in this truly beautiful
illustrated mineralogy.
The work exists in two states. One with the
title vignette and plates untinted, and the other with
these illustrations deliciously hand-colored. The colored
copies are printed on a better quality paper that makes
the volume noticeably thicker, and at the time of their
production undoubtedly more expensive. One could
suspect that authentic colored volumes are rarer than
their uncolored counterparts.
Johann Sollander. Austrian painter. No
direct information found; however, this may refer to
Johann Sollerer (SoUener) [1747-1809], Viennese painter of
miniatures.
Mansfeld. Austrian engraver. Refers to a family of
Viennese copper engravers. Active during the period were
Johann Georg [1764-1817], Johann [1770-1825] and Johann
Ernst [1739-1796].

VERY SCARCE, especially the second volume. In
this attempt at a new form of systematic mineralogy,
Baumer has arranged his system along a unique system.
His arrangement includes burnable bodies, water, salts,
earths, stones and ore and metals. He includes
descriptions of accidental or jovial forms of stones
and petrifications, metals and ores, and mountains of
large masses. Although Baumer has compiled many
oddities in his choices, citations are diligently recorded
to other literature for each mineral species listed.
The mineral descriptions are particularly good for the
minerals found in the vicinity of Thüring, Germany.
The second volume includes additions, corrections and
reinterpretations to the first, arranged in the same way.

VERY SCARCE. Baumer discusses the uses of
gemstones and other mineral substances in medicine,
while making it clear that many of the precious variety
can not be useful because they will not dissolve in the
stomach. However, as a physician he knew that some
'earths' neutralize acid, or are soluable in water, and
therefore of potential therepeutic use. He deplores the
myths and superstions assigned to many of the stones,
especially for there curative powers.
The text is divided into two parts. The first is a
classification of gemstones, into precious, semi-precious,
spurious, etc., with discussions of physical properties,
origins, and differences between species. The second
section describes other mineral substances, such as
ochre and the earths that were used in medices of he
late eigheenth century. Baumer makes note of curious
lore and ancient beliefs attached to the same, together
with details on the preparation and administration, and
ills cured.

describing in the first 46 pages an introduction to
Baumhauer's crystallographic method. The remainder
of the book reinforces the theoretical aspects by guiding
the reader through nine examples applied to crystal
forms of real mineral species such as apatite, dolomite,
boracite, cassiterite, etc. The atlas consists of 12
plates individually mounted on cardboard within an
accompanying case with tie-down strings.

VERY SCARCE. In the JVew Developments in
Crystallography the latest discoveries and methods
invented in the science are presented. It was designed to
bring workers up to date on the latest trends regarding
terminology and symbols, but was not intended to
develop a complete training in crystallography. Written
less than a decade before X-ray analysis was invented,
Baumhauer had a rich selection of practical and
theoretical material to draw upon for his text. New
facts and theories are discussed regarding symmetry
and conditions of crystal formation, methods of
instruction, relations between chemistry and crystal
form, and twin crystals. An appendix explains the
symbol designations applied to crystalline forms by Paul
von Groth in his Physikalische Krystallographie.
Contents: I. Einleitung (pp. 1-22). II. Kristallklassen

made from animal, botanical and mineral products.
However, pigments of blue color were the most difficult
and expensive to make with the very best blue paint
usually being made by pulverizing the precious stone
lapis lazuli that was found in Afghanistan. This book
discusses the color blue, its preparation and the best
ingredients to create a pigment. The mineral olivine is
also discussed for use in the preparations to present a
greener hue to the paint.

History
Becher.
BECHER (Beccher), Johann Joachim. (Born:
Speyer, Germany, 6 May 1635; DlED: London,
England?, October 1682?) German physician &
alchemist.
Becher was mostly self-educated, although he was
awarded the degree of M.D. from the University of Mainz
in 1661. In 1663, he was appointed professor of medicine
at Mainz and physician to the elector of Mainz. From
1664 to 1666, he stayed in Munich where that cities regent
had furnished him with a laboratory. But in 1666, he was
obliged to leave Munich. He went to Vienna, but in 1666
Leopold appointed him Imperial Commercial Advisor. In
1669 he arranged with the Dutch West Indies Company
for a colony, in the South America. Becher was appointed
public professor of medicine at the University of Mainz.
He was appointed chamberlain to Count Zinzendorf in
Vienna. While there he established a Werkhaus containing
a chemical lab for manufacturing pigments as well as for
working with wool, silk, and glass. In 1678, Becher went
to Holland, where he sold the city of Haarlem a plan for
a machine that would spool silk cocoons. In 1679 an
invitation of Prince Rupert caused him to go to England
where he inspected mines in Cornwall (and Scotland?).

and terra pinguis (fatty). He considered combustible
substances to be rich in terra pinguis, which was lost
during burning. Even metals that were calcinable
contained some of the fatty earth. Stahl later developed
these ideas into an elaborate chemical system in which
the term "phlogiston" replaced terra pinguis.
The potential comprehensiveness of the phlogiston
theory proved amazingly good in a world in which
chemistry still held a qualitative attitude toward
matter. Not only did the theory explain combustion and
calcination as being caused by the loss of phlogiston,
it explained the smelting of ores equally well. Since
the ore (calx) of a metal is converted into metal by
heating with charcoal, a substance rich in phlogiston,
Stahl argued that phlogiston was transferred from the
charcoal to the calx, converting the later into a metal.

famous work, and the only one published in quarto.
"Stahl's edition of Becher's most important work (first
published in 1669) the foundation of the phlogositon
theory. Its influence on Stahl was immense, and resulted
in the present edition. To Becher's text, Stahl adds a
161 page commentary on Becher's theories, "Specimen
Beccherianum," along with his own interpretations,
modifications and innovations." This edition contains the
three supplements as well.
First published 1669 with title: Actorum Laboratorii
Chymici Monacensis; published in 1703 with title: Physica
Subterránea. Includes three supplements of earlier editions.

VERY RARE. A translation of Auctorvm laboratorii
chymici monacensis, seu Physicœ Subterráneas libri duo (2nd
ed., Francofuti, 1681) with the inclusion of translations of
the first two supplements and some additional material on
alchemy. The translator was Becher. The long dedication
to the Emperor Leopold I, dated 20 March 1675, gives a
history of alchemy. The work was probably written in
support of his unsuccessful attempt to extract gold from
the sand of the Danube. This is probably the rarest of
Bechers writings, unknown to many bibliographers.

Recommendations and indexes to all four parts.
RARE. This is a description of the three realms
of nature and their use in medicine. The first
part describes the animal kingdom, beginning with
man, followed by the beasts, birds, insects, lizards,
etc. The second part is a botanical herbal that
utilizes reworked illustrations from the earlier herbal
of Mattioli. The third section is concerned with objects
yielded by the earth including mineral resources, mines,
minerals, fossils, stones, etc. Within the mineralogy
section are descriptions of individual mineral types
including petroleum, mercury, native metals, crystals,
sulfur, coal, saltpeter, pyrite, arsenic, antimony, etc.
The fourth section concerns the purposes to which
nature can be put for the medical good of mankind
and includes a section on distillation processes. A
comprehensive index to all the parts is found at the
book's conclusion. The text is heavily illustrated
throughout but most particularly in the sections on
animals and plants.

BECKE, Friedrich Johann Karl. (Born: Prague,
Czechoslovakia, 31 December 1855; DIED: Vienna,
Austria, 18 June 1931) Czech/ Austrian mineralogist.
Becke studied mineralogy at Vienna under Tscher-
mak and Schrauf, graduating in 1880. In 1882, he became
professor of mineralogy at the University of Czernowitz
[now CernauÇi, Romania], and in 1890, at the German Uni-
versity at Prague. In 1898, he succeeded A. Schrauf at the
University of Vienna, and later, G. Tschermak, retiring in
1927. Becke was an expert and pioneer in optical mineral-
ogy, and from 1899, he acted as editor of Tschermaks Miner-
alogische und Petrographische Mitteilungen. He won the Wol-
laston Medal of the Geological Society of London in 1929.

BECKENKAMP, Jakob. (BORN: Horcheim near
Coblenz, Germany, 20 February 1855; DlED: Würzburg,
Germany, 12 January 1931) German mineralogist.
In 1872, Beckenkamp helped as a surveyor in
remapping the Wiesbaden district of Germany. From
1876-9, he entered the University of Bonn, where he
studied mathematics, physics and chemistry. Afterwards,
he attended the University of Strasbourg, where he
studied crystallography under P. Groth, graduating 1881.
Beckenkamp worked for a time on a geological survey of
Elsass-Lothringen, but in 1897, he became professor of
mineralogy and geology at the University of Würzburg,
from which he retired in 1929. His principle research was
on physical crystallography dealing with thermal, elastic,
magnetic and electrical properties of crystals.

SCARCE. A comprehensive treatise, providing
extensive discussion of the most current knowledge
of crystallography. The first part covers the 'static'
properties of crystals and theoretical discussions of
the internal geometric structure. Included in this
portion are discussions of previous theories including
Haiiy, Weiss, Hessel, notational systems, twins,
pseudomorphs, thermal, elastic, magnetic and electrical
properties of crystals, etc. The second part details
'kinetics' of crystals, or their behavior when interacting
with light or other forms of radiation. Discussion
includes crystal optics, with historical perspectives,
goniometers, physical properties, theories of the
arrangements of atoms within crystals, also touching
on the recent discoveries of Von Laue and Bragg in X-
ray crystal diffraction analysis. At the conclusion are
comprehensive indexes to both parts.

SCARCE. This Manual of Crystallography is more
or less an abridgement of the author's Statische und
Kinetische Kristalltheorien (Berlin, 1913-5), omitting
almost all of the historical perspective. Divided into six
parts, this is a superb introduction to crystallographic
science, however. In the first portion, Beckenkamp
covers in detail the cubic, tetragonal, rhombohedral,
rnonoclinic, triclinic and hexagonal systems, with
descriptions of the crystal classes that occurs under
each heading. The second part describes dielectric
and magnetic phenomena that result from atomic
arrangements within some crystals. The third section
describes how piezo- and pyro-electrical properties
occur by either rubbing or heating certain mineral
crystals. A fourth section (pp. 141-278) describes
optical properties of crystals, including reflection,
interference patterns, double refraction, polarization,
luminence, etc. The fifth part (pp. 279-330) describes
the influence of mechanical, thermal and chemical
properties on the geometric and physical properties
of crystals. The sixth and final section (pp. 331-
443) covers structural theory and how it affects the
geometric and physical properties of crystals. An
errata to the author's previous Statische und Kinetische
Kristalltheorien and a comprehensive subject index help
conclude the work.

VERY SCARCE. A personal narrative of an
excursion through northern Germany. The book is
interesting for its account of the geology and fossil of
the region, and also the author took a special interest
in the mineral wealth of the region. Therefore, this
work is principally a description of the various mines,
quarries, and caves he chanced to visit. Of great value
for reporting the state of the mining and metallurgy of
the time. The text was reissued in an unaltered state
in 1712 and again in 1720.

BENKÖ, Ferencz. (Born: 1745; Died: 1816)
Hungarian naturalist, mineralogist & theologian.
Benkö was a Calvinist minister, who was elected
priest of the Nagyszeben congregation in 1784. He began
studies at Bethlen College, continuing at the Universities
of Göttingen and Jena. While at Jena, Benkö attended
the mineralogical lectures of J.F. Gmelin, which stressed
the doctrines of Werner. Afterwards, he traveled in 1783
to 1784 throughout Transylvania, exploring all aspects of
natural history. He was appointed in 1790 professor of
natural history, geography and the German language at
Nagyenyed College in Hungary. He held this appointment
until his death. Benko was the first professor to write and
lecture in the Hungarian language. He was a champion of
the natural history museum at Nagyenyed, to which Benko
bequeathed his own collection which included 2120 mineral
specimens.

VERY RARE. An important treatise in the history
of Hungarian mineralogy, being the first written in the
native tounge and describing the mineralogy of this rich
geological land. Benkö, once a student of Werner's
at Freiberg, followed his former teacher's principles in
his descriptions of the minerals. References to other
literature are provided throughout.
Facsimile reprint, 1980s: This work on mineralogy, the
first published in Hungarian, was reprinted sometime in the
1980s together with 65 pages of historical introduction and
a modern index.

BENNETT, Lee Fent. (Born: 22 August 1872;
DlED: Kenosha, Wisconsin, U.S.A., 25 January 1966)
American geologist & mineralogist.
Bennett was an alumnus (1895) as well as a faculty
member (1898-1919) of Valparaiso University, where he
taught the subjects of geology, zoology and mathematics.
In 1919, he became the superintendent of the H.W. Gossard
Co. factory in Janesville, Wisconsin. He lived in Janesville
until 1928 when he moved to Saginaw, Michigan. He
remained there until 1957, when because of poor health he
moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin to live with a daughter. An
entry in the 1914 yearbook for Valparaiso University says
of Bennett: "When Professor Bennett tells a story or joke
everybody laughs; not only because they are always good
stories well told but because he finds a new story before
he tells one. He has the happy faculty of making his work
interesting. Nobody ever sleeps in his class ... He is a real
friend of the students and besides being a good instructor
he in a good a.l! round fellow."

Bergemann was a very successful pharmacist in
Berlin. As a hobby he built a superior mineral collection
that represented different localities of each mineral species.
This cabinet was known as one of the finest of its time. It
was acquired by Berlin's Humbolt University in 1837 after
Bergemann's death.

BERGMAN, Torbern Olof. (BORN: Katrineberg,
Vestergötland, Sweden, 20 March 1735; DIED: Medevi,
Sweden, 8 July 1784) Swedish chemist, mineralogist,
astronomer, physicist & geographer.
Bergman entered the University of Upsala at the
age of seventeen, from which his family expected he
would graduate in either divinity or law, although he
preferred mathematics and natural science. However,
through overwork he injured his health and during his
convalescence he studied botany and entomology to such
good purpose he was able to send LlNNEAUS several new
kinds of insect. He returned to the University in 1758, and
upon graduation began teaching there mathematics and
then physics. Upon the resignation of J.G. Wallerius from
the chair of chemistry and mineralogy, Bergman became
a candidate for the appointment. Although opposed by
many, he had a friend in Crown Prince Gustavus III, and
chancellor of the University, who gained the appointment
for Bergman. He held this post until the end of his
relatively short life (he died at the age of 49). Bergman's
most important chemical contribution was his Essay on
Elective Attractions (English trans., London, 1775), a study
of chemical affinity. His other writings covered many
subjects but are all related to some aspect of science, most
particularly chemistry and mineralogy. For example, in
1761 he was the first to discover the planet Venus had an
atmosphere.
In chemistry, Bergman is considered the father of
quantitative analysis, physical chemistry, modern chemical
nomenclature, the concept of equivalent weights, and the
electromotive series, and is the discoverer or made major
contributions to the discovery of at least eight chemical
elements: platinum, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese,
cobalt, nickel, oxygen, and barium. In crystallography
he has been considered a forerunner of Haüy in founding
the science. He wrote the first great treatise in physical
geography, Physisie Beskrifning (1st ed., Upsala, 1766-74),
and he contributed substantially to our modern philosophy
of science.

Rare. Much revised by Bergman through
corrections and additions, this is a translation into
French by Guyton de Morveau (or according to
Partington by Mme. Picardet and supervised by
Guyton) of the first two volumes of the Opuscula.
Physica et Chemica. (Holmige, Upsaliae &¿ Aboae, 1779-
80). Guyton himself added an introduction to each
volume and a great number of long and valuable
notes. When Bergman died, Guyton discontinued the
translation.
Louis Bernard Guyton-Morveau. (BORN: Dijon,
Côte d'Or, France, 4 January 1737; DIED: Paris, France,
2 January 1816) French chemist & aristrocat. Guyton-
Morveau was и lawyer by profession ami served from 1755
to 1782 as a member of the Dijon Parliament. Science had
always been his hobby, and after his retirement, he turned
his attention to chemistry. He worked with Lavoisier to
reform the nomenclature of chemistry. When the French
Revolution occurred, Guyton— Morveau returned to politics
on the side of the revolutionists and survived the period,
although he did nothing to help Lavoisier. He served as
master of the mint under Napolean, and was made a baron
in 1811.

VERY SCARCE. Perhaps edited by JOHANN JACOB
Ferber, this is the first edition of Bergman's important
foundational work in mineral classification and nomen-
clature. In the Sketch of the Mineral Kingdom, digested
according to the constituent parts of the substances that
compose it, Bergman shows his support for classifying
minerals according to their chemical composition and
not on the then common method of external appear-
ance. Bergman's handbook, which is rich in observa-

Bergman
tions about the chemistry of minerals, went further in
regard to the subject than had its predecessors because
Bergman had developed a portable blow-pipe kit. With
this tool, which he took with him out into the field and
was thus able to analyze minerals on the spot for their
chemical constituents he was able to create a practical
method of classification. In contrast to the previous
systems of Br.OMELL and Cr.ONSTEDT chemcial knowl-
edge had developed to a state where it was possible
for a chemical system of mineral classification of to be
prepared and be of practical use. Bergman recognized
four major groups of minerals: salts, earths, metals,
and inflammable bodies, and then subclassified each of
these groups, exercising care in trying to provide a more
consistent nomenclature than the contemporary stan-
dards.
In his attempt to reform mineralogical nomencla-
ture, Bergman set up a systematic approach to the min-
eral kingdom. It closely follows the naming conventions
used by Linneaus to successfully name plants and in-
volving two Latin names. This meant the naming of
the mineral by the Latin names of the prevalent alkali,
earth or metal combined with the name of the acid.
For example, copper chloride would be called cuprum
sali tum. Bergman's nomenclature as used in the Scia-
graphia was an attempt at a general reform of miner-
alogical as well as chemical names, and it was success-
ful in this respect being adopted by Louis Guyton de
Morveau in the same year, and thus helped to stan-
dardise chemical nomenclature. Bergman recognized
four classes of pure chemical foundation, called salts,
earths, metals, and phlogistic materials. These were
translated into Latin as sales, terras, metalla, and phlo-
gistica. Two other classes were added to hold impure
substances, petrae were rocks and petrificata were for
organic fossil substances. These classes were then sub-
divided into genera after the method of Linneaus.
The regard for Bergman as a scientist was such
that his student and biographer, P.J. Hjelm, records
that before the first edition of the Sciagraphia was
printed, no less than five different translations of it
were announced in different places. Not all of these
original announcements materialized, although the text
was eventually distributed in five diffrent languages in-
cluding German, Italian, French, English and Portugese
[which see next entries]. All this activity seems to in-
dicate a considerable interest in Bergman's system for
mineralogy.
In the Preface to his Sciagraphia. Bergman stated
that he had been urged by J.J. Ferber to publish his
manuscript outline of mineral classification. This ap-
parently lead Moström to conclude that the work had
been "edited by J.J. Ferber." However, Bergman's text
contains no evidence that this was the actual case. The
Preface reads:
"In answer to the request of my very good friend,
Mr. Ferber, I sent him a small outline of mineralogy
in which the minerals were arranged according to their
con stituent elements. After looking it over, he asked
my permission to publish it. At first I thought it would
be better not to publish a work so imperfect, especially
considering the number of analyses which remained to
be made. Mr. Ferber replied that a perfect method
was not yet to be expected in so extensive a field, but
that having once laid a foundation I might occasionally
make such additions and corrections, in new editions of
the work, as future experiments might make necessary.
Indeed I was fully aware that the system would be per-
fected more quickly if submitted to the inspection of
other more discerning Chemists, than if its completion
depended solely on me. The different remarks of others
will correct errors, which by further work I might have
corrected, but if science is advanced, it does not mat-
ter by whom. So Genera and Species are given, except
in the Appendices which, since they did not properly
belong in my outline, contain Genera only. The Gen-
era are based on the principle elements, and the Species
on the remaining components. Varieties depend upon
external appearances, and are therefore omitted here."
Related work, 1773: "Variae crystallorum formae a
spatho ortae," in: Nova Acta Regiae Societatis Scientiarum
Upsaliensis. Upsalias, 1773, 1, 150-155, one plate.
Bergman's pupil Johann Gottlieb Gahn had discov-
ered that the scalenohedra of "dog tooth" spar (calcite)
when cleaved along certain planes would allways yield a.
rhombohedral kernel the same shape as ordinary calcspar.
On this and other observations, Bergman authored "Vari-
ous crystal forms that take their origin from spar," which
described a new theory of crystal structure that was of the
utmost importance in the developement of crystallographic
science. He noted that since crystals present such a seem-
ingly endless variety of forms, it appears as though Nature
were joking with us. However, by careful study and com-
parision, he deduced that these multitude of forms could all
be derived from simpler bodies which he called "primitive
forms." He confined his study to calspar and its basic form
the "oblique parallelepiped." Using this basic shape he the-
orized that they arranged themselves in thin sheets (lamel-
lae) which when stacked together produced the widely di-
vergent forms found in Nature. From the view point of his-
tory, Bergman's lamellar theory is one of the first attempts
to explain how widely divergent crystal forms could be de-
rived from simpler shapes, and one which René Just Haiiy
would accept and greatly expand upon in his own writings.
This work appears in the Opuscule (see: 2, 1-56).

William Withering. (BORN: Wellington, Shropshire,
England, 28 March 1741; DIED: Larches near Birmingham,
England, 6 October 1799) English physician. Withering
graduated with his M.D. from the University of Edinburgh
in 1766. In 1774, he then opened a medical practice in
Birmingham. He was the first to describe native barium
carbonate, later named after him as the mineral species,
witherite. Withering is best known as a botanist, and his
work on the foxglove is a classic. He was elected a Fellow
of the Royal Society of London in 1784. He had collections
of both minerals and plants.

RARE. In De Tubo Ferrurninatorio Bergman
provides the fullest account to date of the equipment
and fluxes used in blowpipe analysis. Using a modified
three-piece blowpipe made from silver with a gold tip,
he records the reactions of minerals fused with the three
fluxes of soda, borax and microcosmic salt (sodium
ammonium phosphate) in hollow charcoal supports
or silver or gold spoons. He is also the first to
distinguish between the oxidizing and reducing flames
of the flame, which he used with excellent effect in
qualitative analysis to determine the elements making
up many minerals. Although introduced by Swab,
Rinman, Cronstedt and popularized by Engström, it
was Bergman's success in blowpipe analysis and his
excellent texts that made it an important tool of the
mineralogist and chemist for almost two centuries.

Rare. Translated and edited by Italus
[pseudonym] from "Meditationes de systemate fossilium
naturali" (see: Nova. Acta Regias Societatis Scientiarum
Upsaliensis, 4 (1784), pp. 63-128). In his "Meditation
on a System of Natural Fossils," Bergman joined his
voice to those of Guyton de Morveau and Pierre Joseph
Macquer in proposing of the chemical nomenclature
was necessary. He proposes that absurd names that
memorialize their discoverers be eliminated. Also,
names that refer to some mysterious property should
be dropped.
This is Bergman's last major statement in
mineralogy, published the year of his death. It
indicates that had he lived, he would have collaborated
with De Morveau on a complete overhaul of
chemcial/mineralogical nomenclature.
The different bodies that make up the mineral
kingdom are briefly defined and include organic, solid
and liguid items. Reasons are then provided why they
need to be organized into a classification system. This
is followed by speculation on mineral formation and
descriptions of physical and chemical properties, such as
form, specific gravity, hardness, behavior in fire, before
the blowpipe and methods of examining fossils by the
wet method. At the conclusion is a long discussion
providing reasons and the theory behind Bergman's
system of nomenclature.

VERY SCARCE. In 1751, Cronstedt did chemical
analyses of a mineral called Kupfer-nickel [niccolite], which
had been thought to contain copper because when dissolved
in acid the mineral produced a blue colored solution.
Upon further investigation, involving attempts to precipate
copper metal from the solution, Cronstedt concluded that
the mineral did not contain copper but a new type of metal,
which in 1754 he named nickel, after the material from
which it was first obtained. Although most of Cronstedt's
contemporaries accepted his findings, there were many
important chemists of the period who believed Cronstedt
had not discovered a new metal but a complex alloy of
copper, arsenic, iron and cobalt. It was not until Afzelius
defended Torbern Bergman's dissertation De Niccolo, that
Cronstedt's claim was universally accepted. A revised
edition appears in the Opúsculo (vol. 2, 1780, pp. 231-271).

VERY SCARCE. This important dissertation to which
Petrus Castorin was respondent, is a greatly expanded and
revised edition of Bergman's previous Chemisk Afhandling
om järnmalmus proberaride (Upsala, 1777). The text
gives detailed and practical methods for qualitative and
quantitative analysis of 15 different metals in ores,
including silver, mercury, lead, iron, copper and zinc. The
wet method of analysis is recommended because of its
accuracy and reliablity even though it takes considerably
longer to perform than the dry method. A new edition
appears in the Opuscule, (vol. 2, 1780, pp. 399-454).
Per Castorin. (BORN: Grythytte, Sweden, 19 October
1761; DIED: Elfvestorp, Sweden, 20 January 1808) Swedish
mining expert. Castorin became the third generation of
his family to attend the Swedish Mining Academy. He
matriculated at the University of Upsala in 1774, and
graduated in 1780. He worked at the Swedish mining
centers of Grythytte and Hällefors and Hjulsjö.

VERY SCARCE. This highly important dissertation
to which Johann Gadolin was respondent examines the
impurities in iron from different sources. The list
of impurities found includes sulfur, plumbago (carbon),
arsenic, zinc and manganese. Results are provided for
analyses of various samples of iron and 273 experimental
tests are cited. It establishes that a successively greater
amount of iron is fond in wrought iron, steel and cast
iron, and thus helped define quality in steel. Revised and

Johan Gadolin. (BORN: Abo near Helsingfors
(Helsinki), Finland, 5 June 1760; DIED: Wirmo, Finland,
15 August 1852) Finnish chemist. Son of astronomer and
physicist Jacob Gadolin [1719-1802]. For a time, Johann
was a student of BERGMAN at the University of Upsala.
From 1786 to 1788, Johann traveled outland to complete his
studies and broaden his knowledge. He became a docent
at the University of Abo in 1789, and following GADD's
death, he was appointed professor of chemistry; a post
he held until 1822. He specilized in the analysis of rare
earth elements, and is credited with the discovery in 1794
of the element yttrium. Gadolin's mineral collection was
destroyed in 1827 by fire when the Turku Academy burned
down. Gadolin held membership in the Academy of Science
in Stockholm. The mineral "Gadolinite" was name in his
honor by M.H. Klaproth in 1802.

VERY SCARCE. In the forward, Bertele records
that he was inspired to write this work as a result
of studying the recent mineralogies of EhlMERLING,
ESTNER and Reuss. He felt that his effort was more
complete and understandable. The first portion of the
text is an introduction to mineralogical science. The
second and largest part is a descriptive mineralogy,
organized along the chemical classification suggested by
D.L.G. Kar.STEN's Mineralogischen Tabellen (Berlin,
1800). An alphabetical list of all the mineralogical
species contained is included at the beginning of the
work.

BERTEREAU, Martine de Baronne de Beausoleil.
(BORN: cl601; DlED: 1640) French woman mineralo-
gist.
Martine de Bertereau, an expert dowser, and her
husband Jean de Chastelet, Baron de Beausoleil et
d'Auffenbach, an expert in mineralogy and mining, made
a name for themselves in 17th century Europe. Using
a variety of hazel branches and metal rods, Martine
reportedly located rich mineral and water deposits. But
when the infamous French Cardinal Richelieu caught wind
of exactly how Martine was prospecting, he pitched the
couple into prison, along with two of their kids.

VERY RARE. Work on mining and mineralogy
authored by the only documented woman mineralogist
of her time. She married Jean Du Chatelet, Baron
Beausoleil, inspector of mines of the German empire
and together they visited the mines of South America,
Hungary and Germany. When Beausoliel secured
the authorization to survey the whole of the French
territory for the discovery of mines and minerals, his
wife accompanied him in his travels throughout France.
This book is the outcome of their work. Written in
the form of an appeal to Cardinal Richelieu to open
and operate the French mines, it contains a long list
of these mines, discusses all minerals found, speaks of
different sciences to be studied by a mining expert.
Ultimately, the author was imprisoned by order of
Richelieu, because of suspicion of witchcraft in the use
of divining rods. She died in prison.

Monsieur Bertrand, Conseiller Palatin de la Cour de
Pologne. This small volume is a popular-style summary
of mineralogical science designed to serve those who
desired a ready made plan on which to arrange their

SCARCE. An early comprehensive dictionary
defining terms used in the 18th century study of
oryctology, which by today's convention would include
all of the earth sciences such as geology, mineralogy,
crystallography, paleontology, and vulcanology. In
the alphabetical list, various terms deal with earths,
salts, sulfurs, bitumens, petroleum, simple and complex
stones, common and precious gems, minerals, metals,
petrifications of animals and plants, the latest theories
on their formation, and their uses. In many instances
a substantial definition is provided, which shows
Bertrand's good knowledge of the subject. Volume one
covers words beginning with the letters A to L, while
volume 2 continues M to Z.

Recueil de Divers Traités, 1766
VERY SCARCE. A reprint collection of six of
Bertrand's earlier works including: Mémoire sur la
structure intérieure de la terre — Essai sur les usages
des montagnes — Mémoires historiques et physiques sur
les tremblemens de terre — Essai d'une distribution
méthodique des fossiles — Essai de rninérographie,
et d'hydrographie du Canton de Berne — Lettre sur
les inondations du Nil, et l'usage des montagnes de
l'Abissinie — Lettre sur la diminution les mers, et
l'origine de montagnes. An index at the end provides
a listing of the titles of the works together with a
breakdown of the important sections in each.
Perhaps the most important monograph contained
in the collection is the "Essai de rninérographie, et
d'hydrographie du Canton de Berne." This is the first
"Mineralography," which is a alphabetical listing of the
Cantons throughout Switzerland, with details given of
the minerals and therapeutic springs that may be found
at each location. When this work was written, this
was a quite new, and useful format for describing the
mineral wealth of a geographical area.
Another issue: Identical issue, with the date of 1767 is
also recorded.
Contents: I. Mémoires sur la structure intérieure de
la Terre (in 3 parts, pp. 1-104). II. Essai sur les usages
des montagnes (pp. 105-222). III. Mémoires historiques

Rare. REWORK COMMENTARY: Containngthe
first issue of volume one, dated 1790. One of the great
illustrated juvenile series of the nineteenth century,
Bertuch's Picture Book for Children is a magnificently
illustrated childrens encyclopaedia of everything that
was the largest publishing venture ever undertaken by
Bertuch. Issued by monthly subscription the completed
work published between 1790 and 1830 consisted of
237 parts with a total of 1,185 hand-colored copper
engravings. A complete set cost 120 Thaler or about
twice the yearly salary of a common worker, yet by
using the subscription method, the publiser was able to
sell many sections. The Bilderbuch contains a pleasant
collection of well illustrated natural history and science
articles about animals, plants, flowers, fruits, minerals,
insects. It is a substantial work, very popular in
its time, as a tool for instruction through words and
pictures. The publication history is complex because
it was one of the largest publication projects of that
time. The most complete sets of the Bilderbuch are
composed of 12 volumes with accompanying text in
German and French. The 12 volumes are structured
in 14 Themes: quadruped animals, birds, fish, insects,
plants, humans, worms, shells, corals, amphibian,
minerals, buildings, antiquities and mixed objects. In
1796 Bertuch began publishing the accompanying texts,
helped by Karl Friedrich Funke [1752-1807]. The whole
project becoming the first encyclopedia about nature
and earth. Today, this work is sought after for the many
quaint hand-colored illustrations it contains.
This remarkable childern's work, which was being
reissued even as the first edition was still bein published
has a very difficult bibliography. This seven volume
set usually contains a third revision of the first volume
published in 1792, which prints Bertuch's name on the
title page for the first time. The text has been reprinted
with the French appearing with the German from page
one, and all previous errata having been corrected.
This is normally(?) the series that constitutes the
first edition of Bertuch's Bilderbuch. Volumes 1-3
have German and French on alternate pages, volumes
4 through 7 are written in German, French, English,
and Italian. Volumes 6 and 7 were prepared by Carl
Bertuch, son of the author. Titles vary slightly from
volume to volume.

of nature, i.e. minerals, plants, and animals. Each
of these kingdoms was described in two "Hefte," each
containing 4 plates; therefore, the section on minerals
was accompanied by a total of 8 plates. This work
was published while the author's Bilderbuch was being
published, and the plates are probablly extracted from
that large work.

Berzelius
BERZELIUS, Jöns Jakob. (BORN: Väversunda,
Östergötland, Sweden, 20 August 1779; DIED:
Stockholm, Sweden, 7 August 1848) Swedish chemist
& mineralogist.
Berzelius studied medicine and chemistry at the
University of Uppsala, from which he graduated 1804.
In 1806, he was appointed professor of chemistry at the
University of Stockholm. He became a prolific researcher
and editor. In 1810, Berzelius was elected president of the
Academy of Science. He was greatly distinguished by his
skill and precision as a chemical analyst (probably the best
of his generation), and he contributed much to advance
the atomic theory first stated by Dalton by proposing a
chemical nomenclature based upon it.

Rare. The central premise of Berzelius' chemical
theory was the duality of chemical compounds, in which
he rigidly classified compounds and their components
as either electronegative or electropositive. In the
Försök, Berzelius for the first time gives an outline
of his theory as it applies to the problem of mineral
classification. Because distinguishing the elements of all
compounds as either electropositive or electronegative,
and giving to every element a place in a series, and
a place defined by the degree of these relations, it
seemed to provide a rigorous and complete principle
of arrangement. Accordingly in the Försök, Berzelius
arranged minerals by their electropositive element, and
the elements according to their electropositive rank,
thus supposedly removing all that was arbitrary and
vague in previous chemical classifications of minerals.
Minerals are nothing more than naturally
occurring chemical combinations, and in applying his
theoretical structure, Berzelius was in the eyes of
many contemporaries, attempting to subjugate the
science of mineralogy to a branch of chemistry. This
caused rather strong arquments to rage in the scientific
journals of the period as to the appropiateness of
Berzelius' theory. This became especially evident
when the discovery of isomorphism showed that bodies
containing very different electropositive elements could
not be distinguished from each other. It was therefore
impractical to place them into different sections of
the classification. Thus, this first system of Berzilius
crumbled.
Berzelius would not conceed defeat, and after
confessing the flaw of his first system, he proceeded to
realign his system to be based upon the electronegative
element. This inversion of the systemwas an attempt
to preserve the duality principle of arrangement. Thus,
instead of arranging metallic minerals according to their
metal under iron, copper, lead, etc., all carbonate
minerals came into one category, while all oxides
were classified together in another section. This was
a great improvement over the previous effort, and
eventually, the correctness of Berzelius' revised method
was recognized, and improved upon. To this day, it
is one of the cornerstones on which modern mineral
classification rests.

serially in Schweigger's Journal für Chemie und Physik

300). The first two installments were translated by A.F.
Gehlen and the last by W. Pfaff. The third installment
consisted of five appendices that were part of the Swedish
original of 1814. Once the publication was completed a
very rare Sonderabdruck was made in a small edition and

VERY SCARCE. Berzelius sent a copy of the
Swedish edition to Thomas Thomson with the request
that Thomson have it translated into English, correct
the translation and have it published. This thomson
did, having engaged the services of one John Black
to render the translation. Berzelius was dissatisfied
with the quality of the translation remarking in the
French edition of 1819 "The English translation... is
made unfortunately by someone that has no notion of
mineralogy probably, because she/it is full of mistakes;
and in many of places original's sense is all to - fact
disfigured. She/it appeared cependent preceded of one
preface of the doctor Thomson, that assured to have
him confronted to the original, and that she/it was
perfectly faithful."
English translation by John Black from Försök,
att, genom användandet af den electrokemiska. Theorien
(Stockholm, 1814); the whole production supervised by
Thomas Thompson, who also wrote the introduction.
This is the first appearance in English of calculating
the compositions of minerals on the basis of atomic
theory, i.e. the law of multipule proportions and also
of Berzelius' system of chemical symbols and formulae
using the initial letters of the latinised names of the
elements, and indicating the proportions of atoms
present calculated according to the atomic weights,
which has since been established as the standard form
of chemical notation.
Owing to the lack of mineral knowledge on the
part of the translator Berzelius' work was ill received in
England. In fact a reviewer called the work "the most
devoted sacrifice to experiment to hypothesis which the
modern history of chemistry presents. Berzelius' theory
is the measure of his facts, and like the Grecian robber
who extended his victims upon his bed, and cut them
shorter, if they were too long, or stretched them, if too
short, this chemical Procrustes screws his results to the
preconceived limits of an empirical axiom."
John Black. (BORN: ; DIED: ) English translator.

RARE. After the publication of the original Försök
in 1814, the noted mineralogist J. F.L. HAUSMANN wrote
a highly critical review of the work. This provoked
Berzelius to publish the Försök till ett rent kemiskt
Mineralsystem in 1815. With the addition of this
supplemenentary monograph Berzelius' mineralogy no
longer looked like an "attempt" but a fully developed
mineralogy.
This is the separately printed expansion of
Berzelius' mineral classification system, based upon the
electropositive element. Whereas the Försök published
in 1814 was a mere outline, the present title expands the
theory to a full mineralogical classification. The work

was originally published in Afhandlingar i Fysik, Kemi
och Mineralogi (see: 4 (1815), 1-148).
German, 1816: After its original appearance, Berzelius'
chemical mineral system was soon thereafter translated into
German by W. Pfaff and C. Gmelin and published as the
article, "Versuch eines rein chemischen Mineralsystems"
in .Schweigger's Journal (see: 15 (1815), 301-63 &z 419-
51 & 22 (1818), 274-302). A last installment, containg
the notes to the systematic arrangement of the minerals
as they appeared in the original Swedish (pp. 117-148).
was published in Schweigger's Journal, under the title,
"Anmerkungen zu der Abhandlung: Versuch eines rein
chemischen Mineralsystems." Aside from these notes,
the monograph contains four parts: the first (pp. 301-
23) offered direct responses to Hausmann's criticisms, the
second (pp. 323-36) presented further articulations of the
chemical and mineralogical concepts, the third (pp. 337-
63) contained a critical discussion of previous mineral
classifications, and the fourth (pp. 419-51) presented the
full mineral system. The separate German edition of the
mineralogy was issued as a very rare Sonderabdruck of the
1815 translations by Gmelin and Pfaff. It contained the
notes which appeared in it before they were published in
Schweigger's Journal. It bears the title:

SCARCE. This translation was prepared by ANDRÉ
Jean Marie Brochant de Villiers from both the Försök,
att, genom användandet af den electrokemiska Theorien
(Stockholm, 1814) and the Försök till ett rent kemiskt
Mineralsystem (Stockholm, 1815). Brochant alters the
text in minor ways, and adds new mineral analyses and
many more notes than appeared in the 1815 monograph.
It was prepared while Berzelius was visiting Berthollet
at Arcueil in 1818-19, and incorporates new information
Berzelius supplied to the translator. This was a tremendous
improvement over the other translations, and it is the
definitive statement of Berzelius' chemical mineralogical
classification.
Another translation: A bad translation of Berzelius'
theory that appeared in the Journal de Physique (see: 1
(1815), 86).

SCARCE. Berzelius was instructed in the use
of the blowpipe by the greatest living practitioner of
the period, Johann Gottlieb Gahn. Every summer
between 1812 and 1816, Berzelius visited Gahn in Falun.
Together they would visit the famous mineral localities
of the area, and every new find was subjected to analysis
back in Gahn's laboratory. There, Berzelius learned a
great deal of the methodology of blowpipe technique.
During a journey through England and France in 1819,
he had occasion to instruct Parisian mineralogists such
as Cordier, Bronigart, Brochant and Beudant in the use

of the blowpipe, and before Berzelius left Paris he had
promised to write a manual on the use of this important
tool.
On his return to Sweden, he kept his promise by
authoring the classic book, Om Blåsrörets Användande
i Kemien och Mineralogien (Employment of the
Blowpipe in Chemistry and Mineralogy). In it, he
summarizes all aspects of blowpipe analysis in clear
and simple language. Berzelius describes seven different
types of blowpipes in detail as well as a special oil
lamp of his own design. He distinguishes four zones of
the blowpipe flame, and was the first to use the terms
"oxidation" and "reduction" in the modern definition.
In 1809, Wollaston had successfully isolated platinum,
and this enabled Berzelius to describe his use of the
metal in making dishes, crucibles and spoons for use
in his experiments before the powerful blowpipe flame.
He introduces the use of hydrogen fluoride as a reagent,
and describes the reactions and reductions of the newer
elements.
Johan Gottlieb Gahn. (BORN: Ovanåker, Sweden,
19 August 1745; DIED: Falun, Sweden, 8 December 1818)
Swedish chemist. Gahn was successively consultant (1768),
mining master (1782) and assessor (1784) at the Swedish
Berg Collegium. He was also involved in the banking
industry at Stora Kopparberget. Elected a fellow of the
Academy of Sciences in Stockholm in 1784.

made an extensive survey of the land with William H.
Brewer, Clarence King, Lorenzo Yates and others. He
authored a number of important books, including, Metallic
Wealth of the United States (1854), Mountain Heights in the
United States (1862), and The Yosernite Book (1868), a
beautifully illustrated and rare book. In 1864, he measured

RARE. In 1847, towards the end of Berzelius'
life, Gmelin, Pfaff and Rammelsberg, his former
students and associates honored their colleague with
the publication of this volume. It contains German
translations of seven memoirs authored by Berzelius
relating to the classification of minerals. Two of these
memoirs refer to Berzelius' two classification schemes,
the earliest based upon the electropositive element and
the later which differentiated by the electronegative
element. Other memoirs answer various critics of
the classification scheme, while the last paper by
Rammelsberg is a survey of the mineral kingdom upon
the lines laid down by Berzelius.

BESLER, Basilius. (BORN: Nürnberg, Germany, 13
February 1561; DIED: Nürnberg, Germany, 13 March
1629) German apothecary & botanist.
From 1589 to 1629, Besler was an apothecary and
from 1594 a leading citizen of Nuremberg. He founded
a natural history cabinet and a botanical garden. He is
considered the best botanist of his time. His principle
work in the field and that on which his reputation rests
is the highly illustrated work, Hortus Eystettensis (1st
ed., Nürnberg, 1613). It consists of large folio volume
containing 366 exquisite plates with descriptive letterpress
that picture about 1,000 plant species in full bloom.

page and 24 engraved plates. A dedication leaf may
also accompany some copies. The date of publication is

Hans Troschel after Peter Isselburg's design. PAGE SIZE:

CONTENTS: Engraved title page, verso blank.; 24
plates.
Rare. A suite of engravings by P. Isselburg and
H. Troschel [see notes below] illustrating the contents
of Besler's 'Wunderkammer' located in Nürnberg. This
was among the first such natural history collections in
Germany, and like its Italian counterparts contained
all manner of natural objects. The engraved title
depicts Besler showing a visitor his cabinet, while
a servant advances offering a saurian skull. There
are drawers labeled Conchylia, Fructus, Lapides,
shelves with chameleons, shells, an auk's egg, dried
eels, while hanging from the wall and ceiling are a
sawfish skull, bird of paradise, unicorn horns, various
serpents, and a blowfish. Other shelves support a
row of books, apothecary jars, branches of coral, etc.
There is no text to the work instead there are 24
engraved plates illustrating the contents of the cabinets.
Every illustration is named and some have short
accompanying descriptions in Latin and German. The
plates are grouped into 6 of Marina, showing specimens
of wonder from the sea, 2 of Conchylia, showing
remarkable shells, 6 of Fructus depicting seeds and fruit,
4 of Animalia picturing chameleons, crocodiles, snakes,
an armadillo, etc. and 6 of Lapides, including fossils,
corals, and minerals. Only the engraved title is signed
Petrus Isselburg, but he is probably responsible for the
design of all the engravings.
Peter (Petrus) Isselburg (Eisselburg). (BORN: Cologne,
Germany, cl568; DIED: Bamburg or Nürnberg, Germany,
cl630) German draughtsman, engraver & printer. Isselburg is
thought to have been a student of Crispijn van de Passe I or
another Netherlandish artist. His work is known from 1606,
when he was in Cologne, primarily producing frontispieces
and prints for Cologne printers. By 1610 he was resident
in Nuremberg. His work encompassed a broad spectrum
of subjects, including portraits of scholars, generals and
secular and clerical princes. His city panoramas are of
historical interest and are distinguished by great technical
proficiency. He also left a large number of sheets with
emblems, costumes and scenes from history. In 1622 he
left Nuremberg, subsequently moving to Bamberg in 1623,
where he became a printer (1625), then to Coburg cl626
and back to Nuremberg in 1630. He was regarded as one
of the most important German artists in his day.
Hans Troschel (Troschel). (BORN: Nuremberg,
Germany, 21 September 1585; DIED: Rome, Italy, 19 May
1628) German draughtsmen & engraver. Troschel trained in
Nuremberg with Peter Isselburg, for whom he later worked.
Emperor Matthias's Entry into Nuremberg on 3 July 1612
was one of his first works. Signed and dated engravings and
drawings increased after 1616. He worked partly from his
own drawings and partly after drawings by other artists.
Besides portraits and coats of arms he engraved views
of Nuremberg, genre scenes and themes. His drawings
consist mainly of studies of heads and figures. In 1624
Troschel moved to Rome, where his work was influenced
by Francesco Villamena.

RARE. Although stated to be a 'Continuatio' on the
title page, this is a reissue of the original 24 plates of the
first edition of 1616, together with a modified title leave,
7 new engraved plates, and an engraved dedication leave
in Latin that might in some cases be found in the 1616
edition. Therefore, the text consists of 31 plates illustrating
natural history specimens, which are labeled in Latin and
German. Besides the original plates, an additional 6 show
Lapides and one more Fructus. The title engraving is
reused from the 1616 printing, with only the wording of
the title changed.

Johann Heinrich Lochner von Hummelstein. (BORN:
Fürth, Germany, 8 February 1662; DIED: Nürnberg,
Germany, 15 October 1720) German physician. He
studied medicine at the Universities of Rostock, Kiel
and Altersdorf, and then went on an extended trip to
Paris, Leyden, Vienna and Padua to further extend his
skills. Afterward he was appointed to a position in
Altersdorf but moved on to Nürnberg where he opened a
private medical practice. His knowledge of natural science
lead to his appointment as director of the Akademie der
Naturaforscher (Academy of Naturalists) in Nürnberg.

VERY RARE. Basil Besler's [1561-1629; see entry
above] Wunderkammer was inherited by his nephew
Michael Rupert Besler, who added to the cabinet.
The work published here catalogs his additions. It
is a treasury of natural objects from the realms
of the vegetable, animal and mineral. It contains
standard items including a unicorn horn, a beak of a
hornbill, a bird of paradise, a carved nautilus shell, an
'Arcimboldo' grotesques of shells, pyritzed ammonites,
asbestos, 'ruin' marble, engraved gems and antique
coins. Rare plants and birds are illustrated along
with ethnological items such as a Brazilian Indian
girdle made from nuts of the Brazilian tree Cerbera
ahovai. The image of this plate was used for the border
of Valentini's Museum Museroum (Frankfurt, 1714).
The very attractive engraved title shows emblematic
medallions, with a rhinoceros, a unicorn, an ostrich,
an elephant, a cornucopia and flowers with in a walled
garden, and an alchemical symbol. These plates
were reissued in 1716 and again in 1733, with added
letterpress title in red and black and in German and
Latin, and a short descriptive text in Latin and German.
The first two issues were without text.

Beudant
BEUDANT, François Sulpice. (BORN: Paris, France,
5 September 1787; DlED: Paris, France, 10 December
1850) French geologist & mineralogist.
Beudant was educated at the Ecole Polytechnic in
Paris. He was named professor of mathematics at the
Lycée d'Avignon in 1811, before being appointed professor
of physics at the Lycée de Marselilles in 1813. Beudant
learned his mineralogy in 1814 when he was sent by Louis
XVIII to England to collect the recently purchased mineral
collection of Bournon. When a government sponsored
expedition was made to the Balkans in 1818, Beudant was
in the group as mineralogist and geologist. In 1820, he was
appointed Inspector-General of the University. Beudant
was elected a member of the French Academy of Science in
1824.

SCARCE. This summary of the mineralogy and
geology of Hungary, is based on observations made by
Beudant while conducting an extensive French state
sanctioned exploration through the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. It is the earliest and most detailed geological
survey of the Balkans, including not only what is
now Hungary, but also parts of Yugoslavia, Austria,
Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia. Within
the atlas are a very detailed geological map of Chemnitz
and its surroundings (now in Hungary) and also other
areas such as Transylvania being the southern part of
this important mining region on the Balkan. These are
among the earliest geological maps of any part of the
European Continent. Madure is critical of the work,
saying: "This whole work is a specimen of book making.
All that can possibly be useful, in mineralogy or geology,
might, with much ease, have been put into 50 pages,
and the reader saved the labor of turning over from
1500 to 1800 pages of repetitions and descriptions of the
same rocks, a thousand times over, creating confusion
and fatigue, without leaving in the mind any defined
ideas on the subject" (AJS, 7 1824). Sinkankas draws
attention to Beudant's description of opal mines in the
Dubnik area and his discussion of the opal.

SCARCE. A highly regarded textbook, considered
at the time of its publication to be the best authority
in French mineralogy, and used in centers of higher
learning throughout France. At its appearance it was
the best treatment of Berzelius chemical classification
of minerals. In the first portion, Beudant provides
a comprehensive introduction to mineralogical science,
including definitions, crystallography, physical and
chemical properties, nomenclature, and an overview of
his system of classification. The bulk of the volume
is a descriptive mineralogy arranged according to this
classification. Tables at the end provide an analysis of
the specific wieghts of simple bodies and acids and a
description of a new form of goniomenter.
Earlier mineralogical investigations, particularly
experiments with carbonates and other salts, showed
Beudant a relationship between chemistry and crystal
form that he expressed as Beudant's law. In essence,
he discovered that when two compounds were dissolved
within the same solution and precipitated together, the
properties of the resulting crystal were determined by
both substances. For example, the interfacial angle
would have a value intermediate between the angles
of the original compounds and proportional to the
amount of the compound within the crystal. Within the
Traité Beudant expands upon the relationship between
chemistry and crystal form by developing a system of
classification based on a mineral's chemical makeup.
The system Beudant adopts was a device of his
own research in which he follows Berzelius and utilizes
the electronegative component of the mineral to arrange
it within the system. He begins by writing how
unscientific the current state of mineralogy is, and
his wish to remove everything arbitrary in classifying
minerals. After surveying the various properties of
minerals, he defines mineralogy as the "la réunion
des minéraux de même composition." To present the
idea to the reader, he ranks the known elements into
three groups: Gazolyten (make volatile compounds),
Leucolyten (produce uncolored oxide compounds) and
Chrocolyten (combine into colored compounds). Under
each of these groups are now creates subgroups based
upon the minerals' electronegative element, taking
into account isomorphic substances. Thus, mineral
groups such as carbonates are found together in the
system. Beudant provides supporting evidence for the
correctness of the system by showing the similarity in
physical properties of minerals within with in these
groups, thus anticipating Gmelin who a short time later
showed the influence of the electronegative element on
crystal form and physical properties. Beudant then
continues to subdivide the system into various series
by his own analogies.
Beudant strongly believed chemistry and the
conditions during a minerals formation determined its
crystallography. He writes that the diverse crystal
forms of the same substance was not mere chance,
but controlled by the chemical conditions of the
environment when the crystal formed. He points
out that the same crystal forms are seen at different
localities where analogous geological conditions are
found. Conversely, when neighboring minerals and
rocks were different, a different crystal form would also
occur.
In the use of chemical formulae, Beudant accepted
Berzelius idea of using symbols to describe elements
within formulae of the mineral species, however, in the
Traité he modified the symbols to be based upon the
187

Beudant
French names of the elements rather than the Latin
proposed by Berzelius. Thus he wrote E (Êtain), M
(Mercure), O (Or), Ох (Oxigene), etc. Berzelius took
exception to this display of French pride, and pointed
out that if each nation were to do the same modification,
all advantage to the precise communication among
chemists would be lost. In the second edition of the
Traite, Beudant changed his symbols so as to conform
with the Latinized names of Berzelius.

VERY SCARCE. Scarce. This much expanded
and improved edition reflects the tremendous strides
mineralogy and chemistry made during the first part of
the nineteenth century. Adopted by the Royal Council of
Public instruction for the teaching in the royal colleges,
this was the leading textbook in mineralogical science in
France for many years. Volume one gives crystallography,
properties, chemistry, classification, occurences, economic
mineralogy. Volume two is a descriptive mineralogy, barge
folding tables showing the overall classification of certain
mineral groups are bound into the second volume.

Carl Friedrich Alexander Hartmann. (BORN: Zorge
near Walckenriedt, Harz, Germany, 8 January 1796; DIED:
beipzig, Germany, 3 August 1863) German mineralogist,
mining expert & metallurgist. Hartmann was the son of a
foundry official in the Oberharz, a prolific mining/mineral
district in Germany. From these roots, he developed
an early interest in mining and metallurgy, and through
family connections secured a position as a student at
the mining school in Clausthal, Austria. Although his
studies were interrupted from 1813 to 1816 by a stretch
in the German army fighting Napoleon, he resumed his
education afterward, becoming an assistant to CHRISTIAN
SAMUEL WEISS at the University of Berlin. In 1821, while
still a student, Hartmann entered into a marriage that he
could not financially support; therefore, he was obligated
to leave the University and accept a bookkeeping position
in Brunswick to provide for his family. His discretion
and conscientiousness often meant being entrusted with
important assignments. However, all spare time away
from work or family was devoted to private study in the
areas of geology, mining and mineralogy. His publications
and translations in these fields brought him recognition
and opportunities to travel throughout Europe. They
also brought an appointment as commissioner of mines
for Brunswick in 1825. Hartmann held membership in
many scientific and technical societies, including Societät
für die Gesamte Mineralogie of Jena and the Society for
Mineralogy in St. Petersburg.

VERY SCARCE. This heavily illustrated mineralogy
text, a standard work and very popular in its day, was
apparently first printed in 1840. It was subsequently
reissued in France with new title pages proclaiming new
editions for the next 46 years, and it had translations
into Italian, German, and Polish. Apparently, only
the first issues of the mineralogy were printed as
separate volumes, usually without years. There after,
the mineralogical text was combined with Beudant's
Géologie (1st ed., Paris, 1840-1), creating a richly
illustrated volume of mineralogy and geology, which
changed little in its content during its long history of
publication.
The introductory part of the volume is sectioned
into five areas: (1) differences between organic and
mineral bodies, providing definition and purpose of
mineralogy and geology, (2) optical and physical
properties of minerals, (3) chemical compostion of
minerals, and (4-5) the classification of minerals. A
table of mineral species and a descriptive mineralogy
follow. The book concludes with an index.
Within the volume main topics include a survey
of crystals and crystallography, odd crystallizations,
ideas on the internal crystalline structure, optical
and physical properties, the chemical composition
of minerals, mineral classification, and general
observations. Illustrations show the goniometers
of Wollaston and Babinet, a multitude of various
crystal forms and combinations, double refraction, and
minerals specimens.
The geological volume that is usually found bound
with the mineralogy describes current phenomena
(i.e., earthquakes, volcanic phenomena, outside agent
influence), the application to the old phenomena
(central heat - deposits attributable to sediments -
to uprisings - volcanic action - erosion of waters),
composition of the terrestrial crust, the phenomenon of
crystallization, a survey of the geological composition
of France, discussion on the geologic age of disasters,
and the geological state of Europe.

BlRINGUCCI, Vannoccio. (BORN: Sienna, Italy
Born:, baptised, 20 October 1480; DIED: Rome, Italy,
August 1539) Italian metallurgist & chemist.
As a young man, Biringuccio travelled throughout
Italy and Germany, inspecting metallurgical operations,
and working in thern. After running an iron mine and forge
at Boccheggiano for Pandolfo Petrucci, the ruler of Siena,
he was forced to leave when Petrucci was overthrown. At
some point he was in charge of a silver mine in Garinthia
(until 1508). He was in Milan for a time and then in Ferrara
in the service of Alfonso d'Kste. When he returned to Siena
with Petrucci, he was appointed (by Petrucci) to a post
with arsenal at Siena and in 1513 director of the mint. In
1516, after the fall of the Petrucci family, he was exiled
again. He returned with the Petrucci once more in 1523,
and was exiled again in 1526. In the fighting in 1526 at
Siena he commanded the artillery. Thereafter he served
the Venetian and Florentine republics, and cast cannon
and built fortifications for the Este and Farnese families.
At some point he also served Pier Luigi Farnese, Duke of
Parma. In 1531, with a new reconciliation he returned to
Siena as senator and as architect and director of building
construction at the Duomo. In 1534 he was appointed head
of the papal foundry and director of papal munitions and
captain of the papal artillery. His reputation is derived
from the posthumous publication of his Pirotechnia (1540).

De la Pirotechnia, 1540
the first printed treatise covering the whole field
of metallurgy, but it is also full of mineralogy,
applied chemistry, gunpowder manufacture, military
arts, typecasting and fireworks information. It is a
practical work, mostly of original observations and
based upon first-hand information gathered by the
author during his lifetime of employment in mines,
forges, mints, cannon foundries, and munitions works.
Atypical of his time, Biringucci is not prone to mystical
speculation in his descriptions, and consequently the
book is one of the most remarkable records of sixteenth
century technology. Unfortunately, Biringucci was gone
by the time the manuscript reached publication, and
consequently, some of the topics covered are not as clear
as perhaps the author could have made them, had he
lived.
The prologue of the text deals with the signs that
indicate the occurrence of minerals. Among several
indicators are the abundance of water since metals
are formed in water and a test for mineralization by
evaporating the water and subjecting the residue to
assay by fire. Book I describes the ores of gold, silver,
copper, lead, tin, iron, steel (which he thought was
very pure iron) and brass. Book II covers the semi-
minerals such as mercury, sulfur, antimony, rnarcasite,
vitriols, alum, arsenic, orpiment and realgar, common
salt, saltpeter, sal ammoniac, sal alkali, emery, borax,
magnet, etc. Book III describes the preparation of
ores for assaying and smelting. Book IV concerns the
separation of gold and silver, with detailed instructions

for preparing nitric acid from saltpeter and pure alum.
Book V describes common metal alloys and Book VI
provides full instructions for casting bronze, including
canon and bells. Books VII-VIII deal with foundry
work, furnaces and casting. Book IX provides the first
published description of the amalgamation process for
extracting silver from its ores, by grinding in a mill
with sublimate, verdigris, common salt, vinegar and
mercury. Book IX deals with distillation, while Book X
on pyrotechnics describes the preparation of incendiary
mixtures, such as gun powder manufacture, bombs and
other explosive devices.
Biringucci's description of metal alloys and their
casting excels those of Ercker and Agricola, and his
sections on glass, steel and the purification of salts by
crystallization were copied by Agricola in his famous De
Re Metallica. (1st ed., Basilae, 1556). For its account
of the methods of casting medallions, statues, and
bells, the Pirotechnia is important in art history. Its
also contains an important account of typecasting. In
chemistry Biringucci includes the first account of silver
amalgamation, and early descriptions of antimony,
cobalt blue and manganese.

RARE, although the royal privilege is dated 1552, this
book was not published until 1556. It is a translation by
"feu maistre" Jaques Vincent, and is dedicated to Jehan
de la Marche. The text is excellently printed and the
illustrations well copied. However, the translation is not
particularly good, having omissions, condensations and
misinterpertations. It was the three French editions that
most English writers have used for source material, thereby
providing a false interpertation of Biringucci's ideas.

SCARCE. In 1848 Bischof began to publish his
enormous Lehrbuch der chemischen und physikalischen
Geologie, which soon became the standard geochemical
text, and helped to found the studies of geochemistry
and petrology. It supported a new line of thought, the
'neoneptunistic'. Bischof in his first volume is clearly
a plutonist and opposed neptunist views; however, as
the work progressed, and he made the intensive studies
in connection with the Lehrbuch, he became more
convinced of the large role water played in the geological
process. His discussion of this role and the thoughts put
down in the Lehrbuch acted as a catalyst on further
research in geochemistry and petrology throughout the
19th century, especially in Europe.
Having a chemical background made Bischofs
experimental work eminently sound, although some
of his generalizations as applied to petrology and the
geological process failed. The first volume of the

Lehrbuch is concerned with various aspects of hydrology
and the effect of water on rock surfaces, in pore and joint
spaces, and in subterranean passages. His scientific
account of springs is well illustrated with observations
of such phenomena in the Rhine Valley. He was among
the first to repudiate the plutonic theory for the origin
of large salt beds, attributing them instead to the
desiccation of large lakes as evidenced by the Dead and
Caspian seas. He also investigated water as a chemical
reagent under the regime of weathering, and also as a
hydrothermal and hydration agent.
With respect to coal, Bischof concluded that the
characteristic chemical and physical constitution of the
different varieties of coal had been determined by the
amount of air admitted and the accompanying heat
and pressure. Thus he estimated that because of the
substance lost in the process of coalification, it took 80
feet of plant material to yield three feet of coal.
The second volume of his work dealt with chemical
mineralogy and petrology. Even today, the work
retains its high value because of the numerous and
careful rock analyses. However, his generalizations were
formulated around the Neptunian Theory. Therefore
he concluded that all rock minerals except augite and
leucite could have originated from aqueous solutions
under atmospheric temperature and pressure and that
their origin from fused rook was exceptional. These
conclusions were based on the similarity of the chemical
composition of many volcanics with that of graywacke
and slate. In one of his many experiments, Bischof
melted large balls of basalt and by observations of
their cooling period, he calculated that the complete
solidification of the earth took 350 million years.
Bischof, together with his contemporaries, Roemer,
Goldfuss, and Vom Rath, made the University of Bonn
one of the leading schools in geological research during
the middle 19th century.

BIXBY, Maynard. (BORN: Vermont, U.S.A., 1853;
DIED: Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A.?, after 1920)
American mineral dealer & collector.
Bixby was a professional "rockhound" in the truest
meaning ofthat description. He collected minerals from the
Tintic and other Utah mining districts. These specimens,
which he sold from his Salt Lake City premises at 539 Atlas
Block, now reside in many of the world's finest museums.
The mineral species "Bixbyite," which he first discovered,
is named in his honor.

BLAKE, William Phipps. (BORN: New York City,
New York, U.S.A., 1 June 1826; DIED: Berkeley,
California, 22 May 1910) American mineralogist,
geologist & mining expert.
Blake was educated at Yale (chemistry, Ph.D., 1852)
and received an advanced degree from the University of
Blake
California at Berkeley (LL.D., 1910). From 1852 to 1854,
he worked as a chemist for the New Jersey Zinc Company.
In 1854, he was appointed geologist for the Pacific Railroad
Survey, a post that occupied him until 1856. Blake then
became a mining consultant. In this capacity he made an
extensive examination of the mineral resources of North
Carolina, and founded in 1859, the Mining Magazine, of
which he was editor. At the behest of the government, he
was among the first foreigners to examine from 1861 to 1863
the mineral resources of Japan. On his return he explored
the Stickeen River region of Alaska, and discovered the
Stickeen glacier. In 1864, he became state mineralogist for
California. From 1895 until 1905, Blake was the professor
of geology and mining as well as director of the School
of Mines at the University of Arizona. He also took on
the added responsibility in 1898 of becoming the territorial
mineralogist for Arizona.

VERY SCARCE. Blank describes in this catalog the
large mineral collection he accumulated during his life,
and which was acquired by the University of W'ürzburg
in 1803 through part gift and part sale. The volume
lists 11,395 specimens in the oryktognostische portion,
2144 examples in the geognostic, and a further 2882
petrifications. The frontispiece portrait shows Blank.

8 : xx, 268, [2] p., engraved frontispiece, one folding
engraved plate.
RARE. REWORK COMMENTARY: Prepared by Franz
Georg Benkert, this description of Blank's collection of
paintings also contains supplementary material concerning
his natural history cabinet.
The present work describes 61 landscape pictures
(including a few portraits) and 133 bird pictures. In
the introduction Blank gives a vivid account of his
working methods and of a mammoth archive of naturalia
collected on his travels and acquired from across the world,
which he used in his work. None of Blanks work has
endured the ravages of time and the only survivor in the
Würzburg collection is a portrait of King Max I Joseph
of Bavaria, executed by Blanks assistant Barbara Thein,
and by a curious coincidence the frontispiece of the present
catalogue. A first description of Blanks artistic output
was published in 1796, the present edition is enlarged.
Blanks Naturgemälde were displayed in the natural history
cabinet of Würzburg University (whose curator Blank was
and a description of which is appended). According to
Thieme/Becker his work was a Europe wide attraction at
the beginning of the 19th century.

[1784-1838] and the chemist Jean Sebastian Julia de
Fontenelle [1790-1842], and was a popular textbook in
its day delivering a standard approach to the study
of mineralogy. The text covers basic definitions,
crystallography, fracture, luster, hardness, color, optics,
transparency, chemical composition, nomenclature, and
mineral classification. A long section at the end
provides a descriptive mineralogy.

BLUM, Johann Reinhard. (BORN: Hanau, Germany,
28 October 1802; DIED: Heidelberg, Germany, 22
August 1883) German mineralogist.
Blum was professor of mineralogy at the University
of Heidelberg becoming professor emeritus in 1877. He was
also for many years the director of the University's mineral
collection.

RARE. The author's first important work showing
a careful analysis of the lapidary knowledge of his
time much of it gathered through personal experience
after researching the topic for several years. The
history of the gemstones Blum describes is given
together with numerous footnote citations. He includes
descriptions of the apparatus used to fashion the rough
into sparkling gems.

8°: xvi, 356 p., 6 lithographic plates (folding).
VERY SCARCE. Using his Die Schmuck-Steine und
deren Bearbeitung (Heidelberg, 1828) as a foundation,
Blum wrote this popular pocketbook of gemstones from
a mineralogical standpoint. Taking advantage of recent
discoveries in optical properties and other physical
properties those mineral species that are deemed to be
gemstones are fully and described. The first section
of the book provides an overview of the properties
and the determinative tests used to identify gemstones.
Blum then gives a discussion of the lapidary art. The
remainder and largest section of the book describes
individual gemstone mineral species, giving synonyms,
properties, occurrences, methods of lapidary treatment,
etc. Blum's work was popular with three editions
appearing.

VERY SCARCE. This is the first appearance of
Blum's popular textbook of mineralogy, which would
go through four editions to 1874. Typical information
about mineralogical subjects is covered in a well written
style, that no doubt helped to introduce a complex
subject to many students. Although some theoretical
material is covered, Blum concentrates on the practical
aspects of the science, deriving his text from Kobell's
Charakteristik der Aiineralien, Naumann's Mineralogie
and Leonhard's Oryktognosie. For more detailed
information, Blum refers the reader to one of the more
advanced textbooks.

Pseudomorphosen des Mineralreichs, 1843
RARE. The classic, fundamental work on
pseudomorphs that has never been surpassed. The
book begins with a review of previous research,
discussion of the same, and the author's reasons for
dividing pseudomorphs into the two broad classes
of alteration pseudos and replacement pseudos. In
detailed descriptions of 263 known pseudomorphs,
Blum provides a thorough discussion of previous
research, rich references, and locality information.
Through this work, Blum was among the first to show
the importance of chemistry in several pseudomorphic
processes, especially in the replacement process, which
was later shown to be one of the principle processes
involved in forming economic ore deposits. This basic
text was maintained and heavily augmented over the
next 36 years by four additional supplements. See below
for their descriptions.

minerals are cited (pp. 73-75, 141-150). Söchting
summarized the prior work of Blum, Leonhard, and
Bischof on the occurrence of minerals included in other
minerals. Söchting also lists a number of minerals that
have been found in quartz. Occurrences of asphalt,
petroleum, and water in quartz are mentioned. He
shows that the presence of inclusions with low melting
or decomposition temperatures can be used to prove
that the quartz in many cases could not have been
deposited from molten condition. Also discussed are
the occurrence of broken tourmaline needles in quartz.

BLUMENBACH, Johann Friedrich. (Born: Gotha,
Germany, 11 May 1752; DlED: Göttingen, Germany,
22 January 1840) German physician, biologist &
naturalist.
Blumenbach studied medicine at Jena and Göttingen,
from which he received his M.D. in 1775. He was
appointed professor ordinary of medicine and anatomy at
the University of Göttingen in 1778, where he had a 50
year career. Considered one of the founders of modern
anthropology, Blumenbach was the first to divide the
human species into five races, i.e., Caucasian, Mongolian,
Malay, American and African or Kthiopian. Blurnenbach
was a member of about seventy learned societies. He was
made a knight of the Guelphic order in 1821.

In his other work, Handbuch der Naturgeschichte
(1779), he presented a compelling argument that
zoological classifications should and could be based on
structures associated with an animals specific functions.
With his approach, he made an important contribution
to the development of comparative primate anatomy.
He noted that humans possessed a unique suite
of anatomical characteristics that proved they were
exclusively designed stand and walk upright (Spencer
185). Blurnenbach began to separate human beings
from apes, suggesting that Homo be assigned to a
different and separate zoological order. This technique
of separation between humans and apes were widely
adopted and continued to the mid- 19th century.
Blurnenbach view of the nature was a philosoph-
ical one; he searched for the causes of things, not sat-
isfying himself with the mere counting and description
of phenomena. He approached anthropology with the
mind of the natural scientist. He recognised that, in
the same way as domestic animals come in varieties, all
known groups of mankind originated from one common,
basic race, which he divided into five. His activity as a

Blumenbach
teacher comprised three fields of natural history: min-
eralogy, botany, and zoology, the latter being his main
discipline.
Blumenbach's Handbuch der Naturgeschichte
(1779) is the first authored on a anatomical-
physiological basis. It went through many editions
and was translated into many languages. Although
Blumenbach tended to follow the Linnean system, this
work ushered in a new era in natural history. It
contains an abundance of new or hitherto insufficiently
evaluated morphological and ecological findings, from
which Blumenbach drew conclusions that led to a more
modern concept of the plant and animal kingdoms. He
concluded from the spread of certain parasites found
only in the domestic pig that such parasites did not
exists as long as pigs were not domesticated and that
they could therefore not possibly have existed since
the creation of the world. Such ideas, revolutionary
in their day, were carefully presented in various places
in the Handbuch, and were demonstrated by concrete
examples.
In connection with the morphological analysis
and geological dating of fossil plants and animals,
Blumenbach developed ideas that were still unknown
to most of the scientists of his day and were touched
upon by only a few others, such as Soulavie. He came to
the conclusion that there had been groups of plants and
animals, now extinct, which could not be classified in
the system of recent forms of life, and he even attempted
to draw up a geological-paleontological time scale.

205. Second revised and expanded edition of highly
influential work on natural history that "ushered in a
new era in the advancement of science" (DSB). In this
handbook Blumenbach included a wealth of morphological
and ecological findings. He stated for instance that
parasites found in domestic pigs did not exist as long as
pigs were not domesticated, and therefore they could not
have existed since the creation of the world. Based on
his morphological analysis and geological dating of fossil
plants and animals, he said that certain forms of plant
and animal life had not only become extinct but also
could not be classified in the system of recent forms of
life. Blumenbach therefore was one of the earliest thinkers
to recognize the "historicalness" of nature(DSB). The
Handbuch der Naturgeschichte was first published in 1799.
It went through numerous editions and was translated into
many languages. The three parts of the work, zoology,
botany and mineralogy, are each accompanied by a folding
engraved plate.

zur Naturgeschichte contains several essays on the
variability of nature, a concept that was not understood
very well. It also showed that the earth, with all its
flora and fauna, had a very long history. Blumenbach
was one of the earliest thinkers to recognise the
historicalness of nature, and therefore occupies an
important place in the history of evolution theory.

BOCCONE
BOCCONE
BOCCONE, Paolo Sylvius. (Born: Palermo, Italy, 24
April 1633; DIED: Palermo, Italy, 22 December 1704)
Italian botanist.
Boccone was a longtime professor of botany at the
University of Padua. He traveled widely throughout
Europe collecting various natural species and attending
scientific meetings. He is best remembered for an
important flora of Sicily, Icones & Descriptiones Rariorum
Plantarum Sicilies (Oxonii, 1674). Boccone was a pioneer in
the description of the natural history of the Island of Sicily
(particularly plants) and his works show the typical 17th
century penchant for curiosities, destined for an imaginary
or real Museum. He was a member of the Leopoldina
Academy. When he became a Monk he adopted the name
Silvius.

VERY RARE. Printed by Domenico Antonio
Ferro, this monograph describes the minerals found
in the author's native Sicily, with special attention
to their supposed medical applications. In particular,
Boccone describes the virtues of the bezoar stone, a
petrified secretion of an animal intestine. Boccone
gives unusually careful descriptions of the sites where
specimens are found, describes their structure and
expounds on some medical applications for which he
has received endoresements from Sicilian physicians.
This work is also an example of a rare Monteleone (di
Calabria) imprint (Printing came to Monteleone only in
1635!).

Every object found a place under one of these heads,
and the text reveals most of his natural history
specimens were rnineralogical, which were consequently
listed under Fossil. The divisions of this class included
metals, stones, and mineralia media. The metals
were divided between natural and artificial, while
the subdivisions of the stones show the uncritical
character of the mineralogy of the time. These were
classified into: Lapides majores molles, stones taken
from animals, meteoric stones, Lapides fossiles minores,
Silices minores, petrifications including petrified wood,
the petrified molar of an elephant, gems and precious
stones, and corals. The mineralia media included the
earths and sulphur. Among the animals a crocodile can
be found. The vegetables stood by themselves. The
primary division of Artificial items was into objects
made of wood, glass or ivory, while other groupings
included pictures, gold and silver work, works of art in
marble, wax and other materials, antiquities and coins.
This is a luxuriant volume printed on fine paper
stock in red and black throughout with marvelous
typography. Although very rare, it attracted enough
notice to have an abstract reprinted in MICHAEL
BERNHARD VALENTINAS Museum Museorum, Frankfurt
am Mainz, 1714, vol. II, appendix XX, pp. 69—81. In
addition, several letters in FRANZ ERNST BrÜCKMANN's
Epistolas Itinerarias reference Brackenhoffer's collection

bibliophile and noted humanist, Brackenhoffer undertook
several journeys throughout France, Germany and Italy.
He developed a taste for collecting objects of all types,
and built a large cabinet containing ancient coins, books,
sculpture and art, and natural history. His coin collection
was cataloged in 1665.

Rare. Listing c65,000 books and articles, this
massive compilation is a classified bibliographical guide
to works on natural history published from the fifteenth
through the eighteenth centuries. Entries often include
references to reviews or other commentary. The
complete five parts are arranged in nine volumes: Pars
I, Scriptores generales (general works, 2 vols.), Pars II,
Zoologi (zoology, 2 vols.), Pars III, Phytologi (phytology
or plants, 2 vols.), Pars IV, Mineralogi (mineralogy,
2 vols.), and Pars V, Hydrologi (hydrology, one vol.).
A lengthy name index (including a separate one for
anonymous works) is included at the end of the last
volume (pp. 432-740).
The fourth section, published in two volumes
concerns mineralogy and the earth sciences. This
bibliography was compiled with much perseverance
on the part of Boehmer, with the list, which is less
complete with regard to non-Germans, extending to
the year 1784. However, the compiler did not know
mineralogy as a science. Consequently, the classification
of the entries is somewhat jumbled. For example,
writings on mining, mine engineering, mining law,
instruction on goldsmithing, glaringly occur with other
titles about mineralogical systems. Additionally, many
mineralogical works are listed in volume one devoted
to general writings that includes a lengthy section
concerning natural history collections and museums (1,
pp. 369-411). None the less, Boehmer's bibliography
of mineralogy ranks with Gatterer's Allgemeines
Repertoriurn der mineralogischen, bergwerks= und
salzwerkwissenschaftenlichen Literatur (Giessen, 1798-
9) as one of the best compilations of the 18th century,
and although not stated, Gatterer clearly relied upon
Boehmer's prior work in his compilation.

SCARCE. This work introduces and describes
the use of stereographic projections in crystallography.
This technique, still used today, plots the angles of a
crystal form onto a special graph. This work includes
discussions of angle measurement, polar coordinates,
Wulff nets and their construction and how it is applied
to the seven crystallographic systems. Examples of the
stereographic projections are found in a back pocket.

VERY SCARCE. The "classic" mineralogy of
Greenland, written at the beginning of the century,
and considered valuable enough to have a revised
English version prepared five decades later [see below].
The minerals found in Greenland are described in
great detail, with exact information on localities and
discoverers with complete references. The largest
part of the work is a descriptive mineralogy of
the 162 mineral species arranged according to PAUL
GROTH's, Tabellarische Uebersicht der Mineralien
(Munich, 1898). Under each are listed the localities and
the person to first discover the mineral at that locality,
literature, description of occurrence, crystal form, and
other properties. Following the descriptive portion is
a geographical listing of minerals in Greenland. The
remoteness of the region and its unique mineralization
make this an interesting and important topographical
work.
It was the first attempt at describing the
mineralogy of the region and as such it is the basis
of all subsequent literature on the subject. Also
importantly B0ggild thoroughly studied Greenland
minerals in the collections in the Mineralogical Museum
of Copenhagen, which had systematically been collected
but never before scientifically examined.

Helmstädt. A few years later he became rector at the
Johanneum in Hamburg. In 1794, he also took on the
role of city librarian. In 1799, Lichtenstein was appointed
ordinary professor of theology at the city's University. He
retired in 1810.

BOLTON, Henry Carrington. (Born: New York
City, New York, U.S.A., 28 January 1843; DIED: 1903)
American chemist & mineral collector.
Bolton graduated from Columbia in 1862, and then
studied chemistry in Paris, Heidelberg, Göttingen, and
Berlin. In 1866 he received the degree of PhD from the
University of Göttingen, his dissertation describing the
fluorine compounds of uranium. He continued to travel
before becoming in 1872 assistant in quantitative analysis
in the Columbia School of Mines. In 1874 he became
chemistry professor at the Woman's Medical College of the
New York Infirmary, which he resigned in 1877. He was
then appointed professor of chemistry and natural science
in Trinity College, where he taught for the next decade.
There he opened its new chemical laboratory, built an
outstanding 3,000-piece mineral collection, and published a
student guide to quantitativ.' analysis, as well as a. massive
bibliography of the science.

VERY SCARCE. A thorough treatment of mineralogy.
In the preface, Bombicci writes that advances in mineralogy
have made this new edition a necessity. Volume one covers
all facets of mineralogical science, including chemistry,
physical properities, and crystallography. A large section
is devoted to twisting and curving crystals and theoretical
reasons why they occur. The author was an expert in this
area and the chapters devoted to the subject are the best
treatment to the time. In this period before the invention
of x— ray analysis, the long discussion about the molecular
structure within crystals and how atoms come together
to create crystalline substances is especially interesting.
The artificial production of crystallized minerals is also
considered. At the end of the volume, Bombicci describes
reasons for placing minerals species into a systematic order
as well as the nomenclature applied to mineralogy. Volume
2 is mostly occupied by a descriptive mineralogy. Species
are characterized by name, synonyms, chemical formula,
localities. Many are also illustrated by crystal drawings
showing their idealized forms. Volume 2 concludes with a
list of authors mentioned in the text and a general index
to the mineral species described.

VERY RARE. Bondardo's Riches of the Worid
is an interesting mineralogy that deals not only with
minerals, metallurgy and related subjects, but with all
the natural resources of the earth including plants and
animals. It is divided into four books of which the
first treats the earth, including the mountains, different
kinds of water like rivers and oceans, air and lightning.
Book two deals with metals, minerals, mines, etc.; the
third book is concerned strictly with botanical issues;
and the fourth deals with animals, including snakes,
fishes and birds. There is a long passage in the third
book on tobacco ("Negotiana") smoked by American
Indians with a pipe made from stone. In addition
several other references to America are made, but the
title is not noticed by Sabin. The work is dedicated
to Luigi Groto [1541-1585], who also edited the book.
Two woodcut portraits are included, one of the author,
the other of the editor. The basic text, apparently with
little or no revision, was reissued at least five times until
1669. All editions of this work are rare.

BOODT, Anselmus Boëtius de. (Born: Bruges,
Belgium, cl550; DIED: Bruges, Belgium, 21 June 1632)
Belgian physician & mineralogist.
Boodt was a member of a noble Roman Catholic
family, and Anselmus seemed destined for a career in the
administration of his native town. However, he elected to
persue a medical career and subsequently studied under
Thomas Erastus [1523-1583] at Heidelberg and obtained
his M.D. in Padua, Italy. He moved to Prague in 1583,
Boodt
where he was physician to the burgrave. While living
there, he became acquainted with the Bohemian naturalist
Thadeus Hayek. Through this relationship, Boodt became
intensly interested in nature, and he began to draw and
paint flowers, animals and minerals. He also made many
mineralogical trips in Bohemia, Silesia and Germany. From
1584 until 1595, Boodt held the post of canon of St. Donat's
Church in his home town, even though he continued to live
in Prague. In 1604, Rudolf II took him on as his personal
physician. Boodt continued in this position until the
emperor's death in 1612. Boodt then returned to Bruges,
spending the remainder of his life as a town councillor. He
never married and his relatives received all the physical
property, including a collection of minerals.

PLATES: In rare instances, a fine woodcut portrait of
De Boodt is printed on the verso of the title page leave. The
picture consists of an elaborate border with shields bearing
family crests with the names printed above. This surrounds
an oval frame that encloses a portrait of De Boodt's head,
shoulders and chest. The wording on the frame is "Rvdolphi
II. Roma. Imperatoris Medicvs Cvbicvlarivs. Anselmvs
Boetivs De Boodt Brvgensis Belga I. V.L." The "n" in
"Anselmvs" has been reversed. Underneath the frame is the
wording, "Anagramma. Obstando sorties casvs Delemvs

VERY SCARCE. Gemmarvm et Lapidvm Historia.
is one of the most important mineralogical works of
the seventeenth century, marking a transition over
previous lapidaries. It is of particular interest as a
manual describing minerals that is more detailed, more
extensive, more critical and more systematic than many
earlier works. It was a well known and influential
book, going through several editions and frequently
being cited by other authors. A new era was marked
with its publication. One in which the believes of the
past began to be challenged, and the researchers began
to use hypothesis and experimentation to present new
ideas. Above all, Boodt's work is an early example
of a treatise on mineral substances that departs from
a simple alphabetical arrangement in persenting its
description of stones.
The work is divided into two books. Book
one presents several general considerations relating
to the properties of minerals. In book two, the
major portion, are discussed over one hundred different
mineral substances. For each kind, Boodt records the
various names by which it is known, physical properties,
occurances, imitations, and the means of detecting
imatations, uses emphasising medical prescriptions, and
approximate cost. Contained within is an early attempt
at the systematic description of minerals, with divisions
of large and small, common and rare, soft and hard,
flammable and nonflammable, transparent and opaque.
Boodt notes the crystalline forms of some minerals as
triangular, quadratic and heangular, and he provides
critical references to earlier authors like Aristotle, Pliny
and Parcaleus. Boodt was skeptical of the curative
virtues of various gems. He suspected that it was
coincindental that a specific type of gemstone was
associated with a sick person who became well. Instead,
he believed if stones had curative powers it was because
they worked in concert with the body to affect a cure,
not any supernatural property.
Discussing the properties of stones, Boodt gives a
long discussion of hardness. He provides the earliest
system of hardness grading for the various stones,
which acted as a crude index to distinguish imatation
gems from genuine. He distinguished three degrees of
hardness and also included softness as a related but
different property. Soft stones are considered such if
fingers alone are sufficient to rub away the surface.
Hard stones are called hard when they can neither be
rubbed away with fingers nor cut by iron. Hard stones
are classified under three categories: (1) a steel file can
scratch the stone, (2) only the use of the Smyrna stone
[emerald??] can cut the surface, and (3) those that can
only be rubbed away with a diamond point.
Several states of the book appear to exist. In
a descriptive bibliography, it is the writer's goal to
provide details on the "ideal copy." That is the most
complete copy that can be located. In this instance
the volume described contains both the portrait and
the two folding tables. This is indeed a rarity, and
no single volume containing both has been found to
examine. The description is a composite of two different
books — one with a portrait, the other with tables. One
could think that perhaps a volume with both the portait
and tables does not exist; however, the German auction
house of F. Zisska &¿ R. Kistner in catalog 12/1 for an
auction held in October 1988 lists a De Boodt with both
portrait and tables. This is undoubtedly a rare state.
The more common state is where both the portrait
and the tables are missing. Somewhere in between are
copies with either the tables or the portrait, but not
both. In addition, the publisher was apparently finding

and correcting errors in the text as the volume was
produced. One copy found by Herbert Obodda, has
the dedication signed "Anselmvs Boetivs | de Bootd,"
with the "t" and "d" swapped. Perhaps other states
exist.

VERY SCARCE. A catalog of the collection of
Sicilian stones and minerals Borch had accumulated,
and which he has arranged into four classes: hard
stones, semi-hard stones, soft stones, and miscellaneous.
Under these headings, he describes various jaspers,
agates, concretions, marbles, alabasters, dendrites, cave
minerals, basalts, granites, serpentines, fossils, and
quartz crystals. In his introduction Borch describes
the mineral richness of the island of Sicily, and gives

chemist & mineralogist.
Borel studied medicine at Montpellier and opened a
practice at Castres in 1641. In 1653 he went to Paris,
where a year later he was appointed physician to the
King. He actively studied throughout his life the fields of
chemistry, optics, astronomy, philology and bibliography,
and is known today for his writings on these subjects.
Furthermore, he was an avid collector of all types of objects
both natural and artificial, which during his lifetime he
assembled into a large and varied cabinet. Borel was the
first author to write a bibliography of chemistry Bibliotheca
Chimica (Paris, 1653) and an early history of the telescope
De Vero Telescopii Inventore (The Hague, 1656).

part of the treatise is a catalog describing the contents of
BorePs natural history cabinet that contained animals,
plants, minerals, rarities, and musical and scientific
insturments. Preceeding the catalog is an 8 page list
of other European museums and private collections
arranged by city.

BORLASE, William. (BORN: Pendeen, Cornwall,
England, 2 February 1695; DIED: Ludgvan, Cornwall,
31 August 1772) English naturalist & antiquarian.
Borlase was born to an ancient family which could
trace its roots back to the early Normans. His ancestors
had settled in the parish of St. Wenn, Cornwall, where they
adopted the Cornish name of their place of residence. He
was first educated at a school in Penzance, but was moved
to Plymouth. In 1712, Borlase entered Exeter College,
Oxford, from which in due course, he earned the degrees
of B.A. and M.A. In 1719 he was ordained a deacon of the
church and in 1720 a priest. He was given responisbility
of the parish of Ludgvan, near Penzance, where he seems
to have first paided attention to the natural history and
prehistory antiquities of the area. For his papers on the
subject, he was elected to the Royal Society in 1750.
Borlase published Antiquities of Cornwall (1st ed., Oxford,
1754) that contained many pertient observations of district
with respect to early human habitation. As his next book,
he published a much enlarged version of an earlier paper
Observations on the Ancient and Present State of the Islands
of Scilly, and their Importance to the Trade of Great Britain
(Oxford, 1756). This was followed by the Natural History
of Cornwall (Oxford, 1758), which is described below.

Eventually, Borlase presented to the Ashmolean Museum
of Oxford the whole of his collections of antiquities, fossils
and minerals, which had been described in these works.
In recognition of this generosity, the university bestowed a
doctor of laws degree on Borlase, on March 23, 1766. Seven
years later, he died, in the fifty— second year as rector of his
parish.

VERY SCARCE. In this work, Borlase takes
a generally conventional view of the Creation and
Deluge in his descriptions of the natural wonders of
Cornwall. Within the description are included many
references to the diverse mineralogy of the region. He
describes the lay of the land, air, weather, ground
waters, rivers and estuaries, lakes and the surrounding
sea, the earths, including soils, clays, steatites, etc.,
sands, husbandry, stones, including quartz, agates,
jaspers, ornamental, spars, rock crystal, etc., semi-
metals, bismuth, petroleum, antimony, manganese,
loadstone, cobalt, mineral deposits and veins, metals,
particularly tin and copper, birds, insects, fish, reptiles,
quadrupeds and inhabitants. The map shows the region
of Cornwall, and the other 28 plates picture various
scenic vistas, crystals, figured stones, mines, apparatus,

BORN, Iganz Edler von. (Born: Karlsburg,
Transylvania [now Alba Iulia, Rumania], 1742; DIED:
Vienna, Austria, 24 July 1791) Austrian mineralogist
& metallurgist.
Von Born was born to a German noble family. He
was sent to Vienna at the age of thirteen to study with
the Jesuits; however, he quickly decided that the monastic
life was not in his future. Instead he went to Prague to
study law. After graduation, Von Born made an extensive
tour throughout Germany, Holland and France. During
this period, he was exposed to natural history, including
mineralogy and mining. In 1770, he joined the department
of mines and the mint. Among his first official duties was
a tour of the mines of Hungary and Transylvania. At
one location, he decended into a shaft to soon after the
fires to detach the ore had been extinguished, and was
exposed to a near fatal dose of arsenic rich vapors. This
experience caused Von Born sickly health for the rest of
his life, and forced him to persue passive activities such as

his mineral collection. He was a dedicated Freemason and
ardent anti-Jesuit. His work, Specimen Alonachologias (1st
ed., Vienna, 1783) is a vicious attack against the Jesuit
monks in which the various orders are classified according
to a system modeled after Linneaus'. Perhaps this was
revenge against his Jesuit experiences in Vienna when he
was a youth.

Rare. This is a comprehensive catalog of Von
Born's own large mineral and fossil collection. It
is sometimes called by its half title, Lithophylacium
Bornianum, and is based on Cronstedt's system. The
publication of the first volume, which contains many
new mineral descriptions, brought Von Born much
critical acclaim from European mineralogists, as well
as recognition from the Royal Court of Austria. On
the strength of this reception, the author continued in
1775 the catalog's publication with the issue of a second
volume, describing other minerals and petrifications in
his possession.
The plates of volume one numbered I-III show

SCARCE. In 1770, in his capacity as an official of
the department of mines and the mint, Von Born made a
lengthy tour through the southern realms of the Austrian
Empire. At that time, this encompassed the mineral rich
lands of Hungary and Transylvania. His keen observations
of the regions he travelled through were recorded in a series
of letters Von Born sent to the Swedish mineralogist JOHANN
Jacob FERBER. These letters contain a vibirant, warm

SCARCE. Translation by Rudolf Erich Raspe of Briefe
über Mineraloff scher Gegenstände (Frankfurt Sc Leipzig,
1774). This edition also contains a translation of Johann
Jacob Ferber's Beitrage zu der Mineral— Geschichte von
Boehmen (Berlin, 1774). The work by Von Born consists
of a series of 23 letters addressed to Ferber describing the
mining, geology and mineralogy he encountered on a trip
through Hungary. Much of the text contain interesting
observations on the production of copper, silver and gold.
A map at page 84 shows Von Bom's route through the
territory. The last letter contains a valuable and interesting
account of the various mineral collections visited during the
trip. Ferber's text provides a mineralogical account of the
region of Bohemia. Bound in at page 320 is a large folding
map of the area with an indication of the various mining
centers and geological features mentioned in the text.
Rudolph Erich Raspe. (BORN: Hannover, Germany,
1737; DIED: Muckross, County Kerry, Ireland, 1794)
German geologist. Raspe studied science and philology and
worked as a librarian for several universities before fleeing
to England in 1775 after pilfering some gems that were
supposedly in his care. He worked at the Dolcoath Mine,
Camborne, where he wrote his famous tale The Surprising
Adventures Of Baron Munchhausen as well as discovering in
St. Agnes a new tin-bearing sulphide, stannite. In 1791 he
had to move again (to Ireland) after his involvement in a
mining swindle in Scotland.

process for extracting gold and silver from various ores.
Since the process did not require the usual melting of the
ore, it had considerable economic effect by not requiring
any fuel. For his discovery, Von Born was given as a
royalty a small percentage of the money saved where ever
his process was used.
There is considerable information regarding the
mining techniques used in Spanish America of the 16th
century. Included are excerpts from the writings of Albaro

Rare. Edited by J.V. Degen [see note below].
From the editor's notes, it is learned that this book was
privately printed for the friends and correspondents of
Von Born, and limited to a total printing of 70 copies.
Von Born was commissioned to prepare a catalog of the
very fine mineral collection formed by Eleonore de Raab
[see note below]. In the preface to the first volume,
Von Born notes that this collection is one of the most
complete of its kind. The specimens are described both
by their exterior characteristics following Werner and
by their chemical compositions in accordance with the
theories of Lavoisier, Morveau, Fourcroy and Berthollet.
Besides the typical information for each speciment
described, the author includes many notes, comments,
and references, showing that he was one of the ablest

Biography Needed
[ ]
Elénore De Raab. Austrian mineral collector.
(fl. 1790 's) De Raab was the daughter of Franz Anton
Ritter von Raab. She married the Spanish Ambassador
della Huerta, and is sometimes referred to by early author's
as "Frau von Uberta." De Raab owned a collection
of about 2,500 small choice mineral specimens many of
which had been given her by Von Born. In 1791 and
1792, De Raab purchased a suite of 41 mostly Cornish
specimens from the English collector PHILIP RaSHLEIGH.
Eventually, De Raab's collection was acquired by the
banker and art collector Count Moritz Christian Friess
[1777-1826] of Vienna. In 1824, the Fries mineral collection
was auctioned with the prominent buyer being Ferdinand
Zimmerman, a professor at the Medicinisch-Chirurgische
Josephs- Akademie.

VERY RARE. No more published. First catalog
of the large mineral collection accumulated by the
Museum of Natural History at Torino, Italy [see note
below] . Borson writes in the historical introduction that
he originally planned the classification of the minerals
along the principles of Werner, but due to the progress
of the science, he rearranged the collection according to
the classification system of Bronginart. Other volumes
were planned but none were published. The catalog was
revised and completed in 1830, however [see next entry].
Turin (Torino), Italy. Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali.
Italian museum. Founded 17S0. The holdings of the mineral
collection in Turin are the combination in 1800 of two
earlier collections: (1) the University Natural History
Museum (founded 1730) by Carlo Emmanuele III, Duke
of Savoy and King of Sardina and (2) the Science Academy
Museum (founded 1759). From 1805 until 1980 the
mineralogical museum has been an autonomous institution
operated by the University. In 1980, the collections have
been the charge of the Piedmont Regional Council.

fossils. It is signed A. De Putter secit.
VERY SCARCE. Lettres Philosophiques is
an important publication that contributed several
noteworthy observations to the sciences of biology
and geology. Written as a series of four letters
addressed to Johann Jacob Scheuchzer [q.v.], this
volume touches upon many subjects of natural history.
Included are theories on the formation of stalactites,
the chronology of the earth, the generation of minerals
and rocks, and the question of reproduction and
development in living organisms. An additional tract
titled "Memoire sur la théorie de la terre" considers
numerous aspects of geological phenomena including
the earth's destruction, which incorporates discussions
of mechanical weathering, volcanism and earthquakes.

BOURNON, Jacques-Louis, Comte de. (Born: Metz,
France, 21 January 1751; DIED: Versailles, France, 24
August 1825) French crystallographer & mineralogist.
Bournon was born into a noble family. He turned
his attention to the natural history studies particularly
mineralogy. However, he lost his first mineral collection
when he fled to England during the French Revolution,
but he built a second collection there, which was later sold
to the French King Louis XVIII with Bournon becoming
the Director. This second collection consisted of 22,881
specimens, nearly half were single crystals. In 1825, the
collection was divided between the College de France and
the Jardine des Plantes (National Museum of Natural
History).

BOURNON
position de Bournon's work holds in the history of
mineralogy, attention must first be focused on the
last quarter of the eighteenth century. During this
time, a controversy began concerning the relationship
between the minerals calcite and aragonite. Although
quanatative analysis proved them to be chemically
identical, examination of their physical properties
showed aragonite to be harder, heavier and to possess a
different crystal form. Using these criteria Abraham
Gottlob Werner named and classified aragonite as a
separate entity from calcite. In 1801, the Traite de
Mineralogie by Rene Just Haüy also listed aragonite
as a separate species, although the French mineralogist
admitted more research was needed. This statement
produced a flurry of investigations and theories to
resolve the aragonite— calcite dilemma.
The present work, de Bournon's most important
mineralogical contribution, was written to support
Haüy 's position that calcite and aragonite were separate
mineral species, and that the final determination of
whether a mineral is a distinct species relies on physical
characteristics, not chemical properties. The seventy-
two plates show various crystals of calcite and aragonite.
Based on a copy of this work that had loosely laid
in the two leaves of the Traité Complet de la Chaux
Carbonatée et de Г Arragonite the Traité de Minéralogie
is the first issue.

Abraham Hume. (BORN: 1749; DIED: 1838) English
gentleman. Second and last baronet. Hume was elected a
member of Parliment from Petersfield, 1774 to 1780. He
was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1775, and he
was vice-president of the geological society from 1809 to
1813. He was a collector of minerals, precious stones and
old masters. Bournon cataloged his minerals, which were

a chemical laboratory. To complete these tasks, Bowles
travelled extensively throughout Spain, investigating its
mines and natural history.

BOYLE, Robert. (BORN: Lismore, Ireland, 25 January
1627; DIED: London, England, 30 December 1691) Irish
chemist, physician & naturalist.
Born the son of Richard Boyle, first earl of
Cork, Robert entered into a comfortable life with many
advantages and much affluence. He was educated by
private tutors before entereing Eaton at the age of eight.
In 1639, he was sent with his next oldest brother to
the Continent where ho continued his education in the
polite arts, language, mathematics and science. The
outbreak of the English civil war caused his return to
England. His support of the Parlimentarians brought hirn
Boyle
into contact with many of the leading English scientists,
and through thern Boyle developed an interest in chemistry.
He entered Oxford in 1656 to advance his studies. After
the Restoration, Boyle frequently visited London, finally
moving there in 1668. He was one of the founders of the
Royal Society of London, and throughout the rest of his
life he was one of its most influenciai and notable Fellows.
His home was open to all those interested in science, and
in a laboratory he had built onto the house, he performed
all his experiments.

Very scarce. REWORK THIS ENTRY. Very
SCARCE. A monumental work that can be considered as
the first scientific treatise in English on crystallography.
Among the many revolutionary insights and theories
set forth within this volume are Boyle's belief in the
hydrothermal origin of crystals and crystal growth by
accretion of particles around a seed nucleus. Boyle also
suspected that the nucleus around which the crystal
grows has the same geometry as the final product.
Further observations include that the finest crystals
grow in open spaces, whereas distorted crystals are
only "molds" of the space in which they formed, and
that because of a vastly higher specific gravity, rock
crystal was not any type of ice. This work also contains
observations on the medical virtues of gems.
This celebrated treatise, justly called by Fulton
"the beginning of the modern development in
knowledge of crystal structure'" (Sinkankas). 'The
literature [on gems] increased at an astonishing rate
during the first two centuries after printing; but except
for technical works on stonecutting and the setting of
precious stones, the subject continued to be largely
a mixture of myth and credulity until the advent of
Boyle's Essay ... of Gems' (Fulton, p. 67).
The work 'really has very little to do with
gemstones except as they happened conveniently to
provide crystals for Boyle's inquiries in to the solid
state of matter. There are two fundamental hypotheses
posed in this essay, the first being "that many of
these Gems and Medical Stones, either fluid bodies,
as the Transparent ones; or in part made up of such
substances as were once fluid," and second "that many
of the real Virtues of such stones may be probably
derived from the mixture of Metalline and other Mineral
substances, which, (though unsuspectedly,) are usually
incorporated with them." However, an even more
fundamental concept underlies both hypotheses which
Boyle clearly demonstrates that he was aware of even
though he does not say so explicitly, that is, that
crystals grow from solution from very minute particles
which attach themselves to the growing crystal in such
a manner that they add bulk and create characteristic
external planes ...' (Sinkankas).

Henry Oldenburg. (BORN: Bremen, Germay, cl618;
DIED: Charlton, near Greenwich, England, 5 September
1677) English scientist. Oldenburg graduated from the
University of Utrecht in 1641, and he matriculated at
Oxford from 1657 to 1658. He taught in the Paedogogium
of Bremen. Later he became a professor in the newly
established University of Dorpat, in what is now Estonia.
Although it is known that Oldenburg matriculated in the
University of Utrecht in 1641, nothing is known with
assurance about what he did during the following twelve
years, but there is presumptive evidence that he was a
tutor during these years. In 1656 he became tutor to
Boyle's nephew, Richard Jones, later the third Viscount
Ranelagh and first Earl of Ranelagh. Oldenburg made a
profession of scientific administration. He founded a system
of records in the Royal Society that is still followed, created
an international correspondence of scientists, and founded
the first scientific journal, The Philosophical Transactions of
the Royal Society of London. Oldenburg began publishing in
1665 the Philosophical Transactions, which were his personal
enterprise, to make money, although he never made as
much as he hoped. He also translated papers for the
London Gazette. He also translated and published works
from abroad. He translated at least two of Boyle's works
into Latin, and he appears to have functioned effectively as
the publisher for a number of Boyle's works.

BRAGG, William Henry. (Born: Wigton, Cumber-
land, England, 2 July 1862; DlED: London, England, 12
March 1942) English physicist & crystallographer.
Bragg was professor of physics successively at the
University of Adelaide, South Australia (1886-1908),
University of Leeds (1909-1915) and the University College
of London (1915-1920). In 1923, he became director of
the Royal Institution. In association with his son, William
Lawrence, he developed an ionization spectrometer, which
W.H. Bragg
he successfully applied to the X-ray study of crystals, and
is today known as an important pioneer in the field.

X rays and crystal structure by W.H. Bragg and
W.L. Bragg. London : G. Bell and Sons, 1915.
8°: vii, 228 p., 4 plates, diagrams.
VERY SCARCE. Bragg began his studies on crystal
structure in 1912 and developed new methods for
measuring the wavelengths of X-rays. The 'Bragg
relation' opened up the use of X-rays in the study of
solid bodies, particularly crystals. Through the use
of the spectrometer which was built to measure the
wavelengths, distances between atoms within a crystal
lattice could be calculated by determining the refraction
of a known wavelength of X-ray on to film surrounding
target. This was a pivotal milestone in crystallographic
determination. Before 1913, only general symmetry
relationships could be pronounced about crystals, but
by the end of 1913, the Braggs had reduced crystal
structure analysis to a technical procedure. For these
researches the father and son team received the Nobel
Prize for physics in 1915. Their X-rays and Crystal
Structure is the first separate publication collecting
together material surrounding this remarkable research.

VERY SCARCE. Professor Bragg's Christmas
Lectures for children given at the Royal Institution were
famous. One series was issued in book form under
the title, Concerning the Nature of Things (London,
1925). Here, Bragg shows his genius in explaining
in simple terms the complex nature of solids, liquids
and gases that envelop us. Using layman language,
he describes and defines atoms, gases, liquids, crystals,
ice and snow crystals and metal crystals, all in a very
readable volume. As an accurate introductory text it
was at its publication a great source for readers wanting
to know the internal structure of everything, and today
it can still be examined to gain valuable insights into
the nature of matter.
Reprinted: The book was reprinted in 1927, 1931, and
1933 with apparently little change to the text.

BRANDT, Georg. (BORN: Riddarhytta, Westman-

29 April 1768) Swedish chemist.
Brandt was educated under Boerhaave in Leiden,
The Netherlands, receiving his M.D. in 1726. In 1727, he
became director of the chemistry laboratory of the Swedish
Bureau of Mines. Appointed the warden of the Stockholm
mint in 1730, Brandt was later appointed professor of
chemistry at the University of Uppsala. He was the first to
produce accurate researches on arsenic and to discover zinc
in calamine (now smithsonite). He distinguished between
potash and soda in 1746.

Rare. By roasting what at the time was called
Swedish pyrite (mineral: linnaeite), Brandt obtained a
black powder, which he further reduced with charcoal
powder and fluxes in the intense heat of a forge with
bellows. The result was a compact mass with a reddish
tint that was magnetic, malleable and of high melting
point. This is the first separate publication announcing
Brandt's discovery of the element cobalt, describing the
process of reducing the metal.

Brant studied at Basel and took the degree of
doctor of laws in 1489. He was a longtime professor of
jurisprudence there. He retired to Strassburg, where he
was made syndic of the town. Today, he is remembered for
his famous satire, Das Narrenschriff [English: Ship of Fools]
(1494), which describes a ship laden with fools and steered
by fools to the fools' paradise of Narragenia.

Folio broadside. At the head is a woodcut showing
the impact of the meteorite.
Editio PRINCEPS. Very rare. Provides an account
of the meteorite ("thunder-stone") which fell near
Ensisheirn, Upper Alsace, France, on November 16,
1492 at 11:30 p.m. It is the earliest meteorite the fall
of which was seen and recorded, and the substance
of which was preserved. The Emperor Maximilian,
arriving at Ensisheim shortly after the fall, presented a
fragment to the Archduke Sigismund, retained another
for himself, and deposited the remainder in the parish
church. This 260 pound fragment remained in the choir
of the parish church for centuries until during the French
Revolution the stone was taken and placed in the public
library of Colmar. Subsequently, fragments were broken
off and presented to various persons and institutions.
Fourcroy obtained a piece of 9.5 kilograms for the
Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. The remainder
weighing about 40 kilograms was afterwards returned
to Ensisheim.

BRARD, Cyprien Prosper. (Born: L'Aigle, Dép.
Orne, France, 21 November 1786; DIED: Lardin, France,
28 November 1838) French mineralogist.
Brard studied mineralogy under Bronignart, and
while still a student published his Manuel du Minéralogiste et
du Géologue Voyageur (Paris, 1805) for his friends. He made
an extensive tour by foot of the Alpes in Switzerland and
Central Europe, and in 1808 he became an aide to Faujas.
Brard was appointed director of the copper mines of Servoz
in 1813 where he was the first to use anthracite coal as a
fuel. In 1816, he entered into a franchise that created a
glassware factory in Lardin. The glass produced became
well known as the Brardville pattern. In 1828, for some
unknown reason, Brard abandoned this persuit. He retired
to Lardin in 1832.

BRAUNS, Reinhard Anton. (Born: Eiterfeld near
Kassel, Germany, 20 August 1861; DIED: Bonn,
Germany, 28 January 1937) German mineralogist,
petrologist & gemologist.
Brauns attended the University of Marburg from
1881 to 1885, receiving his Ph.D in 1884. From 1883 to
1894 he was an assistant at the Mineralogical Institute
in Marburg. In 1894, Brauns was appointed ordinary
professor of mineralogy and geology at the technical high
school in Karlsruhe, but in 1895 he took a similar post
at the University of Giessen. In 1904 Brauns moved on
to the University at Kiel, Germany, and in 1907 to the
University of Bonn where he spent the remainder of his
life. Brauns was a founding member of the Deutsche
Mineralogische Gesellschaft, as well as an honorary member
of many other societies. He was an editor of the Neues
Jahrbuch für Mineralogie und Geologie and the Zeitblatt für
Mineralogie. His major theoretical work centers upon the
optical anomalies in crystals, chemical mineralogy and the
production of synthetic gemstones.

VERY SCARCE. A classic work in popular
mineralogical literature. Braun's Das Mineralreich is a
large format, ambitious book sought after today for its
c900 color illustrations that show the most important
minerals in their natural form, color, and size on 73
chromolithographie and 14 black and white plates. But
when Brauns wrote the book, he was at the pinnacle
of his profession, and the text reflects his deep love
and technical knowledge of minerals, which surprisingly
can still be read with interest, especially for the details
on old European localities. However, the text is now
largely overlooked and thought to be obsolete due to
the incorporation in the book of the chromolithographie
plates.
These plates were at their publication a sensation
for their quality. It required much planning and great

Brauns
technical and artistic ability to produce the illustrations
that were modeled on actual specimens. So that no
damage would occur from transport, minerals from
various private and publish European collections were
carefully packed and hand delivered to the Schreiber's
studios in Stuttgart. Gustav Seligmann [1849-1920]
whose collection was renowned for the aesthetic quality
of its specimens was a strong supporter of the project
with 132 of the depicted pieces being from his collection.
Seligmann's collection was later incorporated into the
Carl Bosch [1874-1940] collection, which was ultimately
purchased in 1966 by the U.S. National Museum
(Smithsonian Institution) in Washington. Today, the
Seligmann specimens that are identifiable from the
plates are especially noted within the collection. Good
quality specimens were essential because the plates
were intended to be easily recognizable to collectors.
Medenbach notes that comparison between the actual
specimens with the plates show that the manual work
was implemented with much love and care, although
some details were not included. Even without the
lack of detail, the objective of depiction was met with
species easily distinguished. Unfortunately, Braun's
Mineralreich was among the last mineralogical works
to be illustrated by the chromolithographie process.
Technical advances in color photography and printing
would soon supplant the labor intensive lithographic
process.
This first edition was originally issued in 30 parts
or "Lieferungen," presumably to allow the publisher to
begin recovering costs for a very expensive production,
and allow the buyers to acquire an expensive volume
through a subscription spread over months. At the
conclusion of publication, the 30 parts could then be
bound into a single volume. That it was a successful
venture is displayed by the appearance of other German
editions, and translations sponsored by the publisher
utilizing the same plates into English, Italian, Czech
and Russian.

cheaper edition, they made the unfortunate decision to use
steel staples to bind the sections. Over time, these sections

cheaper grade of paper seems Co have been used for printing
the text.

BRAVAIS, Auguste. (BORN: Annonay, France, 23
Augus 1811; DIED: Le Chesnay, France, 30 March
1863) French crystallographer, botanist, astronomer &
physicist.
Bravais received a classical education at the Collège
Stanislas in Paris, graduating in 1827. In 1829, he won
first prize in mathematics in a general competition and
was accepted to the Ecole Polytechnique. He was first
in his class at the end of the first year which made
him eligible to select any technical field except mining.
Since his passion from youth was to explore the world,
he chose to enter the French navy. In 1832, Bravais
shipped out. He sailed the Mediterranean and in April
ofthat year was assigned to map the coast of Algeria. The
first of many expeditions he would accompany. Several
important publications on plant organography won him
membership in the Société Philomathique de Paris in 1835.
On an extended assignment in Norwegian Lapland from
1838 to 1839, Bravais made numerous observations in
astronomy, meteorology and terrestrial magnetism. Several
years later in 1845, he accepted an appointment as
professor of physics at the Ecole Polytechnique. There, he
became interested in symmetry and reticular groupings,
sending several important papers to the Académie de
Sciences. Among these were several important in the
development of crystallography [which see below]. Bravais
held membership in the Académie Royale des Sciences, Belles
Lettres et Arts de Lyons and the Académie de Sciences.

several monographs that appeared decades before but
that had a profound influence on crystallography in
morphological and structural studies. At the conclusion
of the volume are two papers by M. Cauchy [?????]
describing the importance of the previous reprints in
crystallography.
"Beginning in 1848, Auguste Bravais wrote a
series of papers in which he treated initially the types of
geometric figures formed by points distributed regularly
in space and then applied these considerations to
crystals, with the points viewed as being the centers of
gravity of the chemical molecules or as poles of forces.
With this approach, Bravais was able to explain the
cleavage and external symmetry of crystals as a function
of the reticular density. Most important, Bravais
demonstrated that there was a maximum of fourteen
space lattices or groups of points differing by symmetry
and geometry whose translational repetition in space
maintained the symmetrical arrangements of the points
of a unit cell. He perceived that these fourteen
space lattices denoted seven different lattice symmetries
which corresponded to the previously recognized seven
crystal systems. Hence, the external symmetry became
firmly grounded on the concept of the space lattice."

VERY SCARCE. Translation by Baron de François
René Jean Pommereul [which see note] from an
otherwise (?) unpublished manuscript. In the
volcanically active district of Solfatara near Naples,
mining and extraction of alum had probably occurred
since ancient times. However, it was under Breislak's
direction as inspector of mines for the Kingdom
of Naples that a vast works for the mining and
refining of sulphur was established. Sulfphur being
an important component of gun powder became an
important economic factor in the Naples ecomony of the
nineteenth century. In this Essai, Breislak describes the
minerals of the area.

RARE. The fossiliferous zone of Pietraroia has in
the past been the subject of important scientific studies
executed by foreign as well as Italian experts. The
first researcher to become interested in the zone was
the geologist Scipion Breislak. In his work entitled
Topografía física delia Campania, he cited for the first
time the Pietraroia fish: "Above Cerretto rises the high
mountain of Pietraroia, which is one of the peaks of
Mátese, very interesting for the materials it yields. This
mountain in some parts of is composed of calcareous
scissile rock with fish imprints. The hardness of the
shale, however, and the multiplicity of the crystalline
veins intersecting in all directions, are such that only
with difficulty it is possible to have beautiful specimens.
They are never of that beauty and precision that one
observes in the fish fossils of Bolea."

SCARCE. Translated by Baron de François René
Jean Pommereul [which see note] of Topografía Física delia
Campania (Firenze, 1798). This first edition if French
acts like a second edition to the original work, having
been enlarged and corrected by Breislak for the traslator.
Beyond that, Pommereul has added useful and insightful
notes to the original text, as well as several maps of the
regii hi.
The first great table is on strong paper and represents
the region around to Naples; the others show the Vesúvio,
the physical plant of the outskirtses of Rome, the extinct
craters of the vesuviana zone, the design of a machine
realized from the author in the crater of a Solfatara and
the crystallization of blocks of branch caused from the
action of washes during the eruption of 1794. " In the
1794 Breislak witnessed the eruption of Vesuvius and made
direct observations at the Fields Flegrei and Pozzuoli
sulfur mines. Physical topography of the Campania, which
discusses his studies on volcanoes, includes his opinion that
the volcanic systems of Latium and Campania to were
connected at the ancient volcano Roccamonfina, eruptive
whose apparatus and washes he had discovered. Considered
one of founders of vulcanology in Italy, Breislak was the
first to determine that basaltic rocks to were of extrusive
origin. He concluded that for to long Time Monte Sum,
the second summit of Vesuvius, had been active until A.D.
79; that it had been eroded; and that the cone of Vesuvius
had been set upon it within historical Time " (DSB, II, p.
439). " In 1801, Scipio Breislak published to descriptive
and geological work on the Phlegraean fields, the extinct
volcanoes near Rocca Monfino, on Mount Sum, Vesuvius,
the Baiae, Procida and Ischia. This work comprises
several maps, and is in many respects supplementary to
Spallanzani' s Travels. Breislak also contributed the first
researches on the geology and stratigraphy of Rome, and
ofthat part of the Apennines which surrounds the volcanic
area of the Italian mainland " (K.A. von Zittel, History
of Geology and Palaeontology, London, 1901, pp. 78-
79). With wide final index of the matters. The Breislak,
been born to Rome from Swedish, chierico father regular,
was premature much in the studies, becoming teaching
already in young age. In 1781 it was called to the
college of Urbino, therefore it passed after some years
to Rome to the Nazareno college, where it organized an
important mineralógico cabinet. From 1787 it taught to
Nola before, then to Naples. In 1798 it made return
Rome, where it had important part in the formation of
the republican government, of which minister of finances
was name. Fallen the Republic Roman, one joined to the
directed French troops to Marseilles. To Paris it had way
to know the greatest French scientists of the age, between
which Chaptal, Fourcroy and Cuvier. In 1802 it re-entered
in Italy. In the ' 05 member of the Italian Real Institute
was name and was already member of the Real Societies of
London, Kdinburgo, Berlin and Torino. In 1815 it founded,
with to the Giordani and Mounts, the Italian Library. In
the within of the controversy, that it then cracked the world
of the geologic studies between the A.G. supporters Werner
and those of J. Hutton, the position of the Breislak was
much critic in the first comparisons of and far from the
excesses of second (cfr. DBI, XIV, pp. 118-120).

Rare. Celebrated first appearance of this
important and influential geological textbook that
according to Zittel contained Breislak's "able criticism
of the Neptunian dogmas was largely instrumental in
eradicating them from the teaching of the universities
and colleges... Breislak gives a good account of
volcanic phenomena and volcanic rocks in Italy, and
contributes a number of valuable observations on
gaseous explosions, volcanic ejecta, and on lava and
basalt." It was translated into French and German
shortly after publication. Breislak is considered one of
the founders of volcanology in Italy. He was a critic
both of the theories of Plutonism and of Neptunism.

Breithaupt
where he received his instruction from A.G. WERNER. He
was granted an honorary doctorate by the Universities
of Jena and Marburg. Subsequently, he was appointed
Inspector of the Academy collections and also adjunct
professor of mineralogy and geology at Freiberg, 1813—26.
He became full professor in 1826, a position he retained
for 40 years. He held membership in many Kuropean
scientific academies. Throughout his career Breithaupt
independently discovered 47 mineral species, made over
3,000 measurements of calcite, studied amorphous crystal
structures, developed the law of paragensis in minerals,
and contributed to reforming mineralogical nomenclature.
In recognition of his mineralogical skills, an antimonickel
mineral was named "Breithaupt" in his honor by ??, 18??.

В REM В ATI
Although other mineralogists such as the Russian
Severgin had occassionally observed some regularity
in associations among different minerals, Breithaupt
was the first to actively conduct research in this area
as a separate study. He was well situated for this
purpose with the extensive mineral collection of the
Bergakademie readily available and the mining activity
along the Erzgebirge if full blossom. He collected
together his observations about mineral relationships
in the Paragenesis; the importance of which was
immediately recognized by others studing mineralogy,
petrology and geochemistry. For instance, Gustav
Bischoff frequently cites the Parag'ensis in the first
volume of his Textbook of Chemical and Physical
Geology (4 vols., London, 185?-??), and the study of
rnineralogical and geological relationships is today still
described by the term "paragenses." Oddly, Breithaupt
apparently failed to recognize his Paragenesis as an
important contribution. In summarizing his views
and accomplishments at the end of his career for
inclusion in the Festschrift published to commemorate
the centennial of the Bergakademie (1866), Breithaupt
does not even mention the paragensis of minerals.

VERY SCARCE. Brisson, an experimental physicist
of great skill, prepared this work, considered "The
first major tables of specific gravity." Inaccuracies in
previous compilations of specific gravities, including
the widely used and extensive tables of P. Van
Musschenbroek [1692-1761], led Brisson to determine
the specific gravity values of a large number of metal,
mineral, fluid, animal, and vegetable substances, using
clean water at a standard temperature. As Sinkankas
notes, Brisson was accurate enough to be able to
distinguish between authentic and fake precious stones
through the means of specific gravity. Brisson urged
that this method of identification together with other
commonly used features like color and hardness could be
a reliable diagnostic tool. Through his role as a teacher
and his writings, Brisson had considerable influence in
spreading scientific knowledge.

SCARCE. In the preface, Bristow writes of his
wish to create a work that could be used by those
wishing to study the mineral collections of the British
Museum and the Museum of Practical Geology. A short
technical introduction briefly defines crystallography,
physical and chemical properties, mineral classification,
and the floor plan of the Museum of Practical Geology
of London. The main text is an alphabetical dictionary
of hundreds of terms. Many of the definitions are
more detailed than a simple explanation by providing
historical and locality information.

VERY SCARCE. This is an author catalog,
covering the general library and the libraries attached
to the Departments of Zoology, Geology, Mineralogy
and Botany. It is particularly valuable for the
detailed bibliographical notes and tables of contents
of composite works, series, reports of scientific
expeditions, etc. The original catalog consists of the
first five volumes that were in later years supplmented
by three additional volumes. From its publication it has
been an important reference, listing titles of many rare
books in natural history, including mineralogy.

BROCCHI, Giovanni Battista. (Born: Bassano,
Italy, 18 Febrary 1772; DIED: Kartoum, Sudan, 23
September 1826) Italian geologist & mineralogist.
In 1801, Brocchi was named professor of natural
history at the Lyceum in Brescia. In 1809, he became
inspector of mines in Milan, and for this made an extensive
tour of Italy. At the request of the royal family, he made
in 1821 an tour of Egypt. Brocchi was a member of the
Institute of Milan.
It studied jurisprudence and theology to the
University of Padova, but very soon it began to be
interested to natural sciences and in particular to geology.
He was university professor of natural history to the
Grammar school of Brescia from 1801 to 1808, year in
which was called in the napoleónica administration of the
Reign of Italy like Inspector of the mines and it was
moved to Milan. Brocchi maintained this assignment until
the issolution of the Council of the Mines in 1814 and
published three deals to you mineralogici on some goes
them Lornbardic and tirolesi south. Between 1811 and 1819
comp! you attend geo-mineralogici travels in several regions
of Italy being interested in particular to vulcanici lands of
Lazio and Campania. It died during a travel in Africa.

VERY SCARCE. A beautifully illustrated mono-
graph being one of the fundamental works on the Ter-
tiary paleontology and stratigraphy of Italy. After a
long introduction the work continues with a summary of
the progress of paleontological science in Italy from 1300
to 1810. This is followed by an account of the formation
of the Apennines Mountains and the adjacent plains, in
which the Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments are clearly
distinguished and described. The second volume pro-
vides descriptions of shells from the Tertiary Epoch of
the whole country, which is illustrated by sixteen mas-
terly engraved plates. Of special interest are Brocchi's
ideas on the extinction and the duration of existence of
genera and species; he rejects the supposition of great
catastrophe, and inclines to the theory of a steady and
regular development.

BROCHANT DE VILLIERS, André Jean Marie.
(BORN: Villiers, near Mantes, France, 6 August 1772;
DlED: Paris, France, 16 May 1840) French geologist &
mineralogist.
From 1791 to '93, Brochant studied under A.G.
WERNER at Freiberg. In 1794 he entered the newly formed
Ecole des Mines. He won an appointment as an engineer
in the Agence des Mines in 1800 and became an editor
of the Journal des Mines in 1801. In 1804, Brochant was
named a professor of geology of mineralogy at the Ecole
des Mines. Eventually he became inspector general of
mines throughout France. Brochant was instrumental in
establishing a national survey to produce a geological map
of the country. He held membership in the Académie des
Sciences. In his honor, the mineral species "Brochantite"
was named in his honor by A. LEVY in 1824.

VERY SCARCE. A major exposition of Werner's
theories in the French language. Brochant writes that
he origionally concieved to write a work that provided a
concise view of the mineralogical principiais of Werner
accompanied by a list of synonyms. But after starting
the work, he decided that it was inadequate treatment
and therefore compiled a complete treatise, enriched
by his own observations. He perpared this work by
examining every systematic work of importance written
in the German language. Brochant has assimilated the
information into a subperb treatise. He has closely
followed the arrangement of Werner as delivered in
lectures in 1800. His descriptions are compiled from
the collected authorities of all authors consulted. A list
of synonyms is presented. In the second volume, the
author makes announcements of recent discoveries and
how they were made. He also includes species and other
information not contained in Werner's original ssytem.
Brochant has added a sketch of geological arrangement,
illustrated by descriptions of rocks, principally derived
from field notes compiled by Daubuisson. Brochant has
endeavoured to select from the knowledge others have
accumulated, rather present his own theories. When he
ventures a remark it is for illustration only. Thus, he
has made this work a vehicle for presenting Werner's
theories to the mineralogists of France for them to
determine the merits of the system he has expounded.
The directions to binder in vol. I instruct that the
tables are to be bound in vol. II, but the directions in
vol. II state that the additions to the volume have been
so great that they must be bound separately. They are in
fact sometimes bound into vol. II, but they are missing
in this copy as in the University of Illinois copy described
by Ward and Carozzi. Offered with a second copy of vol.
II, untrimmed (130 x 225mm) in the original blue boards,
rebacked, new endpapers, signature 'Ilchester' on half-title,
also without the tables.

VERY SCARCE. Discusses the crystallographic
theories of Weiss, Beudant, Leblanc, Gay— Lussac, etc.,
but especially the principles laid down by Haiiy, with
whom he collaborated. Observations on geometrical
and physical properties are included. This work is
an expansion of the article Brochant prepared for the
Dictionaire des Sciences Naturelle (Paris, ????). It is
written in such a manner as to provide the beginner
with a textbook but useful information to the expert as
well. The first part provides a geometrical description of
crystals based on Haiiy's theories. In this Brochant has
been helped by the careful examination of the collection
of the School of Mines. The second part theoretically
describes the physical phenomenon of crystallization,
which had occupied the authors studies for some time.

RARE. The first catalog describing objects of
natural history published in Sweden. It is written in
the form of a prospectus or proposal for a larger never
published work. It was based upon the author's own
cabinet of specimens, of which minerals were clearly a
major component.

March 1731) Swedish physician & mineralogist.
The son of the physician O. BROMELIUS, Magnus
choose the surname Bromell when he was raised to
the nobility. From 1697 to 1704, Magnus had a far
ranging education in Holland, England and France. Upon
his return home he displayed a thorough knowlege of
medicine, anatomy, chemistry and botany. Bromell became
a professor of anatomy at the Collegium Medicurn in
Stockholm, before being elected head of the Institute in
1724. Being an accomplished chemist and mineralogist,
Bromell was appointed to the Board of Mines, where in
1720 he was named assessor. On the death of U. HJARNE
in 1724, Bromell succeeded him as head of the chemical
laboratory.

VERY SCARCE. This modest, little mineralogy had
a profound influence upon the subsequent development
of mineral classification. Designed as a handbook
to help the Swedish naturalist in their mineralogical
studies it is written for a threefold purpose. First, to
distinguish and recognize the principal minerals, and
to instruct the reader upon the proper names of rocks
and ores, their nature, habit and use. Second, to
describe which types of useful minerals should be found
in Sweden, and third, which metals and minerals had
already been found in the kingdom. This last section
emphasises those minerals and ores for which additional
deposits needed to be located.
In this work, Bromell uses chapters to separate
the divisions of the minerals, ores and petrifications.
Within each chapter the properties of the group are
described. By this method, the author developed a
mineral classification that employs both physical and
chemical properties. He divides minerals into earths,
salts, sulphur and sulphurous rocks, stones, minerals
and semimetals, and ores and metals. These divisions
parallel the classifications of JOHN WOODWARD and
URBAN Hjärne. Like Agrícola, Bromell subdivides the
earths according to their use, into medicaments, earths
used by painters and dyers, earths used for cleaning and
polishing, earths used in ceramics, fertilizers, earthy
ores, and fuels. However, in this early attempt at
physical— chemical distinction, for the class of stones,
Bromell is the first mineralogist to group together
species according to the more consistant property of
the minerals behavior in fire.
Through his father, Bromell became a passionate
collector of minerals and fossils. He had inherited
the cabinet begun by his father and had considerablly
added to its numbers. While studying the collection,
he became curious about the effect fire had on various
specimens. Employing the crude qualitative techniques
of the era, various samples of what were classified
as stones by Bromell were placed in fire and the
resulting reactions recorded. This lead Bromell to
categorize stones into four subdivisions: fire— resistant
stones, stones that calcine, stones that become harder
and stones that fuse and become glass. Since a
stone's chemical composition ultimately determined its
reaction in the fire, and therefore the category to
which it was assigned, Bromell foreshadowed the more
elaborate chemical classification system to be developed
later by Friedrich Axel Cronstedt. Bromell
also demonstrates by his emphasis upon describing
the properties of minerals his interest in an orderly
description of their natural characters.

BRONGNIART, Alexandre. (Born: Paris, France, 5
February 1770; DIED: Paris, France, 7 October 1847)
French geologist & mineralogist.
Alexandre was the brother of the famous French
biologist, Adolphe-Theodore [1801-1876]. As a student,
Brongniart had studied chemistry with A. LAVOISIER. In
1794, he graduated with a degree in mine engineering. He
was appointed a professor of the Société Gymnastique from
1787 to 1794. From 1797, he was also a professor at the
Ecole Centrale, Collège des Quatre Nations. In 1800, he
accepted the directorship of a porcelain factory in Sèvres,
France. While there, he helped develop the science of
ceramic chemistry. From 1818, Brongniart was the chief
engineer of mines for the French nation.

SCARCE. Brongniart's Traité was the product
of a commission to prepare a text for use in the
mineralogical courses taught by RENÉ Just HaÜY
and the author at the Faculté des Sciences and the
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. For this purpose, the
author created a simple classification system based
primarily on physical properties, but also influenced by
Haüy's crystallographic theories. Brongniart insisted
that studying how minerals occurred as well as their
properties would lead to a better understanding of their
origin. The work is largely directed to economic aspects
of the science. The introduction is a thorough treatment
of mineralogical principles, which is followed by an
overview of the classification scheme, a table of the same

BRONN, Heinrich Georg. (BORN: Ziegelhausen
near Heidelberg, Germany, 3 March 1800; DIED:
Heidelberg, Germany, 5 July 1862) German geologist
& paleontologist.
Bronn studied at the University at Heidelberg where
he took his doctor's degree in the faculty of medicine in
1821. The following year he was appointed professor of
natural history. He now devoted himself to palaeontological
studies, and to field-work in various parts of Germany,
Italy and France. His principal work, Letkaea Geognostica
(2 vols., Stuttgart, 1834-8; 3rd ed. with F. Romer, 3
vols., 1851-6), has been regarded as one of the foundations
of German stratigraphical geology. In 1861 Bronn was
awarded the Wo Hast on medal by the Geological Society of
London.

BROOKE, Henry James. (BORN: Exeter, Devonshire,
England, 25 May 1771; DlED: London, England, 26
June 1857) English mineralogist & crystallographer.
Brooke first studied law, but eventually became a
merchant. He began in the Spanish wool trade, followed
by ventures in South American mining companies and the
London Life Assurance Association. As a pastime, he
began to collect minerals. This collection subsequently
passed to his son, who in 1857 presented it to Cambridge
University, Dept. of Mineralogy. Brooke was elected a
Fellow of the London Geological Society in 1815 and a
Fellow of the Linnean Society in 1818. Eventually, Brooke
was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1819. In
his honor, the mineral "Brookite" was named after him by
A. LEVY in 1825.

VERY SCARCE. Dedicated to William Wollaston,
inventor of the reflecting goniometer, this book proposes
a new system of crystallographic notation. Brooke uses
a method of letters and subscript figures to indicate
crystal forms. For the primary forms or primitive, he
chose the capitals P, M, T (from primitive). Secondary
and other faces were noted with other letters in small
type. Sweet (1978) suggests that this particular
nomenclature was developed by Brooke from Count
Bournon's treatise on calcite, which allocated numbers
to each form found.
This work had great influence on the course of
crystallography during its time.

VERY SCARCE. A very popular series, this
is a comprehensive encyclopedia of natural history,
contemporary but independent of Buffon's Histoire
Naturelle, which was started in 1763. Illustrated with
145 engravings, each showing several figures, Brooke
extracts from the works of previous authors in his
descriptions of the realms of nature, most notably
Linnaeus. The introduction to volume one tells that the
author had traveled to Africa and America, and that the
work utilizes the systems of Ray and Linnaeus. The fifth
volume is devoted to the earth and objects found within,
and includes studies of minerals, fossils, volcanoes,
earthquakes and magnets, which is illustrated with
engraved plates. Brookes basically follows the theories
of Linneaus in his description of how minerals are
classified.
The set has the following volume titles: Vol 1.

RARE. An observant traveler, Brown recorded all
the natural and historical objects and features he saw,
as well as anything the bore on his medical profession.
For his grand tour, he made a difficult tour through
the eastern regions of Europe. The present volume
is a pleasant account of his travels in the 1668-9s
through the mineral rich regions of Hungary, Austria,
and Carinthia, with observations on many gold, silver,
copper, mercury works. During 1668-9 Brown was
in Vienna and undertook the journeys he describes.
Like his near contemporary and fellow physician Martin
Lister (1638-1712), author of A Journey to Paris (1698),
Brown discourses on the geography, social customs and
history of the areas in which he traveled.

Browne studied medicine in Paris, graduating from
the University of Rheims in 1742. He found work at St.
Thomas' Hospital, London. Subsequently, he moved to the
Caribbean, where he lived in Antigua, Jamaica, Saint Croix
and Montserrat, before retiring to County Mayo in 1771.

parts. Containing, I. An accurate description of
that island ... with a brief account of its former
and present state, government, revenues, produce,
and trade. IL A history of the natural productions
... native fossils ... III. An account of the nature
of climates in general, and their different effects
upon the human body. By Patrick Browne, M.D.
London, Printed for the author, and sold by T.
Osborne and J. Shipton, 1756.
2°: [4], viii, 503, [2] p., one folding map of
Jamaica, a rare large folding map of Kingston and
49 copperplates (38 of flora, 11 of fauna) by George
Dionysius Ehret.
VERY SCARCE. While a student, Browne began
a lifelong correspondence with LINNAEUS, who inspired
his researches in natural science, especially botany.
When he moved to the West Indies, he made his
important observations on the flora, fauna and geology
of the island of Jamaica. Sabin reports that the print-
run of the first edition was limited to only 250 copies.
"All the copperplates as well as the original drawings
used in the work were consumed in the great fire in
Cornhill 7 Nov. 1765" (DNB). Most of the plates were
drawn by Georg Dionysius Ehret [1708-1770].

Patrick Browne was born c.1720 at Woodstock,
Claremorris, Co. Mayo and died at Woodstock in his native
county. The Brownes of Woodstock, near Crossboyne,
were a minor branch of the Brownes of Castlemacgarrett.
Patrick received, his early education in Mayo and at the
age of sixteen was sent to live with a relative in Antigua,
one of the English islands in the Caribbean, which at that
time had a substantial number of Irish-born landowners.
A year later he returned to Europe to study medicine at
the University of Paris. He graduated with the degree of
Doctor of Medicine and went to London where he practised
in St. Thomas's Hospital before returning to the West
Indies around 1746. After spending ten years in Jamaica
making his living as a physician, he returned to England,
and brought with him a substantial collection of dried
and pressed plants, preserved fishes and other zoological
specimens. While there he commissioned the renowned
botanical artist Georg Dionysius Ehret to prepare the
illustrations for his proposed book. The first edition
was published on 10 March, 1756, as Browne himself
tells us in a letter to Linnaeus. The Civil and Natural
History of Jamaica is considered one of the greatest natural
history books of the eighteenth century, and in many
respects second only to the earliest works of Carl Linnaeus,
who wrote of Browne " . you ought to be honoured
with a Golden Statue" . In this substantial work Browne

catalogued Jamaican plants and animals, classified the
rocks and soils, and recounted briefly the history of the
island and its government. More than half the book is
devoted to the description of the native and cultivated
plants of the island, with quite a substantial section on
animals.

BROWNE, Thomas, Sir. (Born: 1605; Died: 1682)
English physician & author.
Browne was one of the great English writers of
the seventeenth century as well as a physician. He is

his personal religious philosophy and the tenets by which
he lived.

VERY SCARCE. This is one of the author's great
works marked by enormous research and learning.
Browne attacks false traditions, superstitions and
folklore relating to the nature of plants, animals,
minerals, and man. Commonly refereed to as "Vulgar
errors" (from the running header), it probably owes its
creation to commonplace books compiled by Browne
when traveling in Ireland and the Continent. However,
the Pseudodoxia Epidemica also includes observations
on a number of topics including physics, comparative
anatomy and biology made by Browne himself. The
first use of the word "Electricity" occurs on page 51
and the first use of the word "Mineralogist" occurs on
page .

In 1721, Brückmann went to Helmstadt study
medicine. After graduating, he opened a practice in
Braunschweig, then in 1728 he moved to Wolffenbüttel.
From 1747 he was also held the position of Assessor for the
Collegium Medicum in Braunschweig. His son was URBAN

and for support of his studies, he accumulated both a
large library and collection of natural history objects. He
was a member of the Berlin Academy and the Leopoldian
Academy, to which he was elected on May 8, 1725.

VERY SCARCE. This work is an early geographi-
cally divided guide to mining throughout Europe with
references to mining in the New World. Part one uses
individual chapters to treat the countries of Portugal,
Spain, France, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland,
The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Turkey and Greece.
There is also considerable additional discussion of min-
ing activities in America and Spanish America. The
text recounts various descriptions of individual mines
and entire districts and the materials mined. These
descriptions include frequent mention of the individual
minerals processed, which in some cases are illustrated
on the accompanying plates. Details are also included
about the discovery and history of the mining oper-
ations. The second part retains the same format as
the first, but greatly expands information by including
much new material.
The very rare supplement describes the world fa-
mous mining works of Sweden and was published in
Wolff enbüttel in 1734.

RARE. This is an early description of the naturally
occurring fibrous substance generally called "Asbestos,"
that is now know to be one of the six minerals
chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophylitte
and actinolite. Asbestos was known to the ancients and
its miraculous property of resistance to burning was
widely thought to be magical. The ancient Greeks used
asbestos in their cloth and the Romans used it in their
building materials. Here, Brückmann provides a short
history and description of asbestos.

Germany. The first 72 letters give interesting and
diverse accounts of excursions throughout Germany,
with particular reference to paleontology. One
section describes Brückmann's Museum of Metallic
Specimens.
The Epistolse seems to have been originally
published separately, and each has an original title
page of earlier date that the complete collection.
Ferguson, J. (1906) says, "The Epistolse Itinerarias
in three hundred numbers appeared between 1726-
1753. They were afterwards collected in six volumes,
with title pages. A list of those referring to
mineralogy, etc., is contained in Leupold's Prodrornus
Bibliothecas Metallicse (Wolffenbuttel, 1732, p. 37)."
However, Ferguson was incorrect, only 275 epistola were
published, not 300.
Contents: The volumes comprise 275 separate "Epis-
tolorum" or letters on a wide variety of subjects, each with
their own title page and in many cases their own pagina-
tion. The general form for the title pages is they are printed
in black with Brückmann's name and accomplishments at
the top followed by the Epistola number, the title/subject
of the letter, the addresses name and accomplishments and
concluding with place of publication and year. For pur-
poses of brevity the following list provides details only on
the Epistola number, title, addressee, publication informa-
tion and pagination.

RARE. A remarkable book that incorporates
Brückmann's personal observations of gemstones,
minerals and fossils under an umbrella of a general
treatise on precious stones. Throughout the text, the
author displays his extensive knowledge the of subject,
incorporating numerous quotations and citations to the
mineralogical literature of the time, while giving his
own perceptive views on the subject under examination.
The classification he adopts to arrange the stones is an
innovation. Through his father's extensive collection,
Brückmann had considered mineralogical subjects his
entire life, and the insight he brings to his descriptions
shows the extent of gemological knowledge of the 18th
century. Sinkankas gives a full description.

RARE. Rewritten and enlarged edition with the ad-
dition of many new stones, and a valuable appendix, "Von
den größtentheils unbekannten sogenannten Edelsteinen"
(pp. 359-388), that attempts to identify the so-called gem-
stones of the ancient writers. As Sinkankas writes: "This
glossary is unique and deserves to be translated with an
interpretation in the light of modern knowledge; there are
hundreds of terms and I know of no other place in the
literature where a similar glossary of ancient gemologi-
cal/mineralogical terms exists." Brückmann also expands
his system of classification incorporating new categories
and ornamental materials such as marble, granite, etc.
Since the appearance of the first edition in 1757 the au-
thor had researched extensively to write this enormously
enlarged treatment. He carried on his research issuing two
supplemental parts that are described below.

VERY RARE. Auction sale catalog of Brückmann's
gem and mineral collection, which he had amassed
through over 60 years of collecting, with great effort and
much expense. As would be expected from his textbook
on gemology, Brückmann had a particular fondness for
gem minerals and these are represented throughout the
catalog in both cut and natural crystal specimens. Over
6,000 lots are described in the text. The sale took place
after Brückmann's death, and was initiated by his heirs.

SCARCE. Written for the beginner interested
in crystallography, this Elements of Crystallography
provides a good introduction to the science. The
first part (pp. 1-23) covers general material like
definitions, crystal measurement and projections. The
next section (pp. 24-116) describes the crystal forms
(cubic, tetragonal, hexagonal, trigonal, monoclinic, and
triclinic), and twinning. The final part (pp. 117-184)
describes physical crystallography, including cohesion,
etch figures, elastic deformation, hardness, and the
optical, thermal, magnetic and electrical properties of
crystals. At the conclusion are short discussion of the
relationship between chemistry and crystal form, an
overview of the 32 classes of crystal forms and an index
to the text.

Brunner's mineralogical system offered little that was
either new or interesting. Typical of the period, the
external characters play a great part, and the chief divisions
are Earths, Salts, Bitumens and Metals. The first of these
is subdivided according to structure into earthy or powdery,
fine bladed, leafy, star-like, fiberous, fine-grained and dense
or compact. The salts are split according to their taste
into sour and sweet assemblages. The volume begins with
discussions of color, external form, fracture, and luster.
An overview of the system is then presented, followed by
the complete system including a section devoted to new
minerals. The book concludes with an index to minerals
mentioned.

to mineralogy. It emulates the work of Johan Gotschalk
Wallerius [q.v.] upon which it is based by including in
the species descriptions notes on synonoymes, hardness,
physical appearance, origins, and uses. In addition,
every mineral listed has a reference to Wallerius'
system as presented in Systema. Mineralogierna (1st
ed., Holmiee, 1772-5). Brünnich adopts a classification
system founded on chemical principles that provides

a good foundation for the logical organization of the
species.
The preliminaries of the work include a short
passage on why this work should be used, a list
of literature cited, and a general introduction to
mineralogical science covering some definitions and
general remarks. The text then presents the
classification of the mineral species. This systematic
portion is divided into five classes: (1) earths and
stones, (2) salts, (3) flammable substances, like pitch
and amber, (4) metals and (5) petrifications. An index
in Danish to the mineral names and a page of errata
conclude the work.

Georgi established an apothecary in Stendal, but moved
his establishment in 1770 to St. Petersburg. Using this
as a home base he made many explorations in the Russian
territory. In 1783, he was elected a member of the Academy
of Science in St. Petersburg.

BRUSH, George Jarvis. (BORN: Brooklyn, New
York, U.S.A., 15 December 1831; DIED: New Haven,
Connecticut, U.S.A., 6 February 1912) American
mineralogist & university administrator.
Brush graduated from Yale in 1852. Having decided
upon a career in mineralogy and chemistry, he traveled to
Freiberg, enrolling at the Bergakademie in 1853. There
he was instructed by J.F. BREITHAUPT, who stimulated his
already intense interest in the composition of minerals.
Upon his return to America, Brush was made an assistant
in chemistry at the University of Virginia. However, this
was followed soon after by an appointment as professor of
metallurgy at Yale University, a post he held from 1855
to 1871. In 1868, he happily added the title of professor
of mineralogy, an appointment he retained throughout his
subsequent positions until his retirement in 1898. He
became director of the Sheffield Scientific School in 1872
and as administrator showed a gift for the position. Even
with his time stretched running the school, Brush still
found time to teach his favorite subject of mineralogy to
new pupils. Throughout his life he amassed a fine personal
collection of over 15,000 mineral specimens, which was
bequeathed to the Yale Peabody Museum. In 1983, the
family donated a large accumulation of Brush letters and
mementos to Yale University. Included in the collection are
a large number of letters from important mineralogists.

SCARCE. This is one of the best textbooks on
the subject of determinative mineralogy using the blow-
pipe. It was intended, in accordance with an original
plan between James Dwight Dana and Brush to be
the Determinative Part of Dana's System of Mineralogy
(5th ed., New York, 1868), for which Brush had
contributed the pyrognostic material. Certainly, from
its first issue it is was the mostly widely used text on the
subject within American universities and colleges. The
author calls this work a compilation based on the tenth
edition of Von Kobell's Tafeln zur Bestimmung der
Mineralien (München, 1873). While this is true, Brush
also added extensively from his own vast experience of
blow— pipe reactions in minerals. Moreover, in inspired
innovation, the species, with their blowpipe characters,
are arranged in a series of extended tables, which
when used properly lead the student to the name of
the mineral that was being examined based upon the
reactions observed. These tables include all species
known to the time of publication.

BUC'HOZ, Pierre Joseph. (Born: Metz, France, 27
January 1731; DIED: Paris, France, 30 January 1807)
French botanist & naturalist.
Buc'hoz was the son of Pierre Brughant, Bourgeois
of Metz. He was persuaded to follow his father's profession
and In- embarked on a carrer to practice law. However,
Buc'hoz did not find the profession agreeable and instead
moved to Nancy where he took up the study of medicine,
graduating on February 22, 1763. He was appointed
physician ordinary to King Stanislas of Poland, but was
accused of not fulfilling his duties and quit to devote his
full energy to the study of botany. He collaborated on the
founding of the Jardin des Plantes at Nancy, and for twelve
years со— edited a newspaper on agriculture.
Buc'hoz eventually settled in Paris where he made
a living by preparing many illustrated works about the
three realms of natural history. In 1788, to mend his
finances, Buc'hoz sold at auction his large library concerned
with natural history.!*! He petitioned the French goverment
for a pension, and to support his claim he published a
bibliography of his own works, Dissertation en forme de
catalogue des différents travaux de J.— P. Buchoz dans la carrière
botanique pendant plus de cinquante ans. (Paris, 1794).
Buc'hoz held membership in the academies of Metz, Nancy,
d'Angers, Béziers, Bordeaux, Châlons— Saint Marne, Lyon,
Rouen and Mayence.
Buc'hoz was a prolific author, who on the title pages
of his many publications, usually reversed his christian
names [i.e. Joseph Pierre, not Pierre Joseph]. However,
his writings in science and natural history developed a bad
reputation owing to their inaccuracies and the incomplete
understanding of the author about the subjects. This has
caused Buc'hoz to be labeled the Sir JOHN HILL of France.
Buc'hoz' reputation today is perhaps best summed up in
the Hunt Catalog: "Buc'hoz is not beloved of botanists,
bibliographer's or collectors of prints. He has a maddening
way of using the same plates again and again and again, in
book after book — sometimes colored, sometimes uncolored,
sometimes badly colored, sometimes reversed, sometimes
redrawn, sometimes with added details, sometimes with
changes to nomenclature." As can be seen from the
descriptions of his mineralogical works, this is a fair
assessment.

2 vols. Folio, consisting of a total of 20 suites
of plates, each with an engraved title page, engraved
table of contents, and 10 subjects each in uncolored
and colored impression. These plates are divided into
"centurie" of 100 subjects per volume for a total of 200
plates (colored and uncolored), making together 400
plates between the two vols. This remarkable work
has no general title page; however, each "decade" or
livraison has its own engraved title page, which varies
in minor detail and color from one decade to another.
The titles transcribed above being the title pages from
the first "decade" of the first "centurie," which dealt

with the animal kingdom. PAGE SIZE: 505 x 335 mm.
Rare. A little known, finely illustrated natural
history covering the three realms of plants, animals
and minerals. It is one of the best known works of
the prolific Buc'hoz, and because of the author's reuse
of the plates in later works, a difficult bibliographic
problem. The work contains no text, but consists of
a series of plates in royal folio. On unstated evidence,
both Brunet and the BMC date the work "(1775) 1778-
1781." Since no "decade" of the first volume contains
any date, there is no direct reason for dating the first
volume in 1775; however, the decades of the second
volume are dated Amsterdam, 1778 (nos. 1—3); Paris,
1778 (no. 4); Amsterdam, 1779 (no. 5) and 1780 (no.
6); Paris, 1780 (nos. 7, 8); and Paris, 1781 (nos. 9, 10).
Premier [Seconde] Centurie des Planches appears
to be the first appearance of any portion of the work
as it relates to mineralogy. Complete copies of the
book are usually bound in 2 volumes, each covering 100
subjects or one "centurie." It is from this grouping
that the designation of Premier or Seconde Centurie
as used in the title is derived. The two volumes
contain 20 suites of large folio engraved plates, each
with an engraved title page (most printed in colors
other than black), an engraved table of contents and
plates illustrating 10 subjects. Each of the subjects is
present in both uncolored and hand— colored impression
making the complete 2 volume work total 400 plates
(200 uncolored plates of subjects, 200 colored).
Each "decade" is devoted to a natural kingdom —
animal, vegetable or mineral, in that order — each
volume thus having "decades" 1, 4, 7 and 10 devoted
to animals, 2, 5, and 8 to plants, and 3, 6, and 9 to
minerals and fossils. Therefore, within this work there
are 80 different plates (in both colored and uncolored
state) depicting animals, and 60 each showing plants
and minerals. As there is essentially no accompanying
text, the merits of this book must rest on the quality
of the illustrations, and although sometimes crude they
are among the finest colored illustrations of minerals
created in the eighteenth century.
Unreserved praise must go to the numerous
artists who designed Buc'hoz' plates [see notes below].
Greatest among these was Jean Baptiste Desmoulins.
Buc'hoz was also fortunate in retaining several of the
foremost engravers of the times such as C. Bacquoy,
Dupin fils and C. Fessard. These artisans and others
engraved and magnificently hand— colored the plates of
this work. In fact it is reported that after he became a
widower, Buc'hoz married one of the lady coloriste who
had worked on this book. It can also be observed that a
number of the mineralogical specimens illustrated have
been copied directly from the works of other authors
like Knorr and Schmiedel.
Claude Mathieu Fessard. (BORN: Fontainebleau,
France, 1740; DIED: Paris, France, After 1803) French
engraver & etcher. Fessard was a student of the great
French artist Joseph de Longueil [1730-1792]. He travelled
to England in 1765 to expand his experience, after which he
illustrated several books of voyages and travels, including
P.S. Pallas' Voyage en Russie (Paris, 1788-93). Fessard
signed his work "Fessard jeune" in order to distinguish it
from the engravings of Etienne Fessard [1714-1777].
Jean Victor Dupin. (BORN: Paris, France, 1718; DIED:
Paris, France?, ) French engraver. Dupin was the son
of the renowned engraver Pierre Dupin [1690—1755?], with
whom he worked in his early career. Jean Victor usually
signed his work "Dupin fils."
Jean Baptiste Desmoulins. (BORN: Paris, France, 1740;
DIED: ) French engraver. French copper engraver who
worked in Paris and collaborated with Abbé de Saint— Non.
Jean Charles Baquoy. (BORN: Paris, France, 16
June 1721; DIED: Paris, France, 24 February 1777) French
engraver. French copper engraver who signed his work C.
Baquoy and belongs to the greatest vingette engravers of
the eighteenth century.

should be considered a separate, new work.
Brunet dates this work as "1782-97," which
indicates the work was issued in a series of parts.
However, no direct evidence has been uncovered
to support this contention. Although it would
seem likely that Buc'hoz would have sold this
work through a subscription system by periodically
preparing additional plates for the book, no wrappers,
advertisements or other evidence has been found. Only
circumstantial support comes from a relatively large
number of copies of this work being described as having
fewer than 100 plates; that number usually being 88. In
addition, the last 40 plates are new, with no indication
of "Decade." Instead, each plate although unnumbered,
has in its upper right-hand corner a "PI." designation.

Rare. Work of this eminent german geologist
including the first geological map of Schlesien from
the year 1797 with 10 different colours depicting the
"Riesen-Gebirge" near Breslau now in Poland, but
also dealing with the mineralogy and geology of the
"Salzkammergut" near Berchtesgaden and Salzburger
Land. The second volume begins as a mineralogical
letter from Leopold von Buch to K.G.L. Karsten, and
it deals with the Monte Albano and Puy de Dôme.
The illustrations and maps of the Puy de Dôme near
Clermont-Ferrand are especially of interest.

BUCKLAND, William, Reverend. (BORN: Axmin-
ster, England, 1784; DlED: Oxford, England, 14 August
1856) English geologist, mineralogist & clergyman.
He was dean of Westminster from 1845. First to note
in England the action of glacial ice on rocks, he did much to
bring physical and natural science into high repute and was
responsible for giving Oxford (where he was a student and
later a fellow) an international name in science. He wrote
Reliquiae Diluvianae (1823) and Geology and Mineralogy
Considered with Reference to Natural Theology (1836).
Francis T. Buckland, English surgeon and naturalist, was
his son.

History
Buckland
Buckland
Geology at Oxford, Buckland is responsible for the world's
first description of a recognized dinosaur fossil, although
the term "dinosaur" didn't exist at the time. In 1824,
Buckland published Notice on the Megalosaurus or Great
Fossil Lizard of Stonesfield.
In the same science meeting where he described
Megalosaurus Buckland also announced — reassured by
Cuvier that it was correct — the first fossil mammal from
the Age of Reptiles. In its own way, this tiny mammal
fossil was as surprising as the giant reptile he had just
named. Conventional wisdom of the time said mammals
came only after the great reptiles. Years later, Buckland
tried to resolve the controvery he had raised by suggesting
that the mammal was an "inferior" marsupial.
Buckland 's discoveries in paleontology were as varied
as they were distinguished. In 1822, in An Assemblage
of Fossil Teeth and Bones, he described a feeding frenzy
of ancient hyenas based on fossil remains. That same
year he discovered an ancient human skeleton. He initially
and correctly identified it as male, but later reversed the
decision and proclaimed the skeleton not only female but
also (perhaps in jest) a witch! After calling it the Red
Witch, he finally gave the skeleton the more palatable name
of the Red Lady of Paviland.
Unlike the scriptural geologists of his day, Buckland
did not hold to a literal interpretation of Genesis, especially
in terms of geologic time. Nevertheless, he was a
deeply religious man who devoted much of his life to
supporting scripture with geology, attracting criticism
from theologians and scientists alike. Buckland had an
open mind; persuaded by Louis Agassiz and his own
observations, he eventually traded his belief in the diluvial
theory for support of the Ice Age theory. And Buckland was
a fantastic popularizer of science who had the grace not to
take himself too seriously. One of his students recounted
how Buckland once
. . . rushed, skull in hand, at the first undergraduate
on the front bench — and shouted, "What rules the world?"
The youth, terrified, threw himself against the next back
seat, and answered not a word. He rushed then on me,
pointing the hyena full in my face — "What rules the
world?" "Haven't an idea," I answered. "The stomach, sir,"
he cried. In another lecture, Buckland happily strutted
about the room imitating the gait of giant birds he believed
left their footprints in ancient deposits. (The "birds" could
well have been bipedal dinosaurs.) Afterwards, one of
Buckland's high-minded colleages scoffed, "the grossness
of the Buffoonery acted on me like an emetic."

SCARCE. In this work, Buckland helped redefine
the role of science and theology. Geologists of the day
wanted to produce a detailed explanation that would
constitute a geological history, period by period, of the
events of a given locality ... Buckland was perhaps the
best able of the British geologists and probably the
most acute to build a careful local stratigraphy and
local dnamic expiations collobarated with the addition
of fossil evidence.

Buée was a French priest belonging to a large group
of émigrés, mainly aristocrats and clergymen who fled from
France into England from 1792 onwards as a result of the
French Revolution. He established himself in Bath, where
he supported himself by publishing leaflets and articles in
mathematics and science. By 1821, Buée was again in
Paris working on a new edition of Dictionnaire des termes de
la Révolution he had first published anonymously in 1792
before escaping to England.

by Robert Clifford of his translation first published
in the Philosophical Magazine (nos. 74-75, 1804)
under the title "A letter from Abbé Buée to Mr.
****, on Mr. Rome de l'lsle and the Abbé Haüy's
theories of crystallography." Originally written in
French, Buée had authored the letter in order to
contrast the differences between the crystallographic
systems of Rome de l'lsle and Haiiy, which at the
time were both considered similar in nature. It is an
important critique of Rome de l'Isle's system, which
Buée characterizes as primarily descriptive, as opposed
to Haüy's mathematically based system. Buée shows
that Rome's selection of primitive forms was arbitrary,
where as Haüy's was based upon direct observations
of the crystals. The original article was reprinted
in Nicholson's Journal (vol. 9, 1804) under the title
"Outlines of the Mineralogical Systems of Rome de l'lsle
and the Abbé Haüy: with Observations." There it is
introduced by a letter from R. Clifford who translated
it from Buée's original French. At that time Buée was
in England having fled Paris and the Reign of Terror.

BUFFON
BUFFON, Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de. (Born:
Montbard, Côte d'Or, France, 7 September 1707; DIED:
Paris, France, 16 April 1788) French naturalist &
biologist.
Buffon was from 1739 he was keeper of the Jardin du
Roi (later the Jardin des Plantes) in Paris and made it a
center of research during the Enlightenment. He devoted
his life to his monumental Histoire Naturelle (44 vol., 1749-
1804), a popular and brilliantly written compendium of
data on natural history interspersed with Buffons own
speculations and theories. Of this work, the volumes
Histoire Naturelle des Aanimaux and Epoques de la Nature
are of special interest. His famous Discours sur le Style was
delivered (1753) on his reception into the French Academy.
He also contributed to the mathematics of probability.

Histoire Générale
Button's Natural History, General and Particular for the first
time presented a survey of the whole of natural science
in a popular form. It is a monumental work, justifiably
praised, containing information on almost every topic of
18th century natural history. It is also brilliantly written
and through its diversity of topics, originality and richness
of thought, it became an authoritative voice until the time
of Darwin.
In 1739 Buffon became director of the Jardin du Roi
(now Jardin des Plantes). In this position he began a
catalog of the collections, but soone developed the project
into a complete study of nature that was unlike anything
perviously known in the literature. It is among the first
scientific works to present its ideas in an autonomous
way, free from religious influence. As such the idea
is developed that the earth and nature have developed
over a very long period of geological time, and with in
this intellectual framework, botany, paleontology, zoology,
geography, mineralogy, etc are described.
Beginning first with the help of his assistant, LOUIS
DAUBENTON, and later with other collaborators, but
always under his careful stewardship and control, this vast
publication was advertised in a prospectus circulated in
1749. In it Buffon outlines the scope of the project, the
method of preparation, the number of volumes (Buffon
envisioned 15 volumes, but the completed work is 44
volumes), the contents of each volume, their illustrations,
etc. Even though it was an expensive set to publish, the
Histoire Naturelle proved to be a financial and popular
success that is shown by the frequency with which the work
was reissued and translated. However, it is this popularity
that makes the bibliography of it various editions, issues,
and translations a torny problem. To the original work
were published supplemental volumes that are usually not
included in later printings of the text. Also, the individual
sections on birds, animals, minerals etc. were often times
published as stand alone works for buyers not interested in
purchasing the complete and expensive set. This all makes
the complete bibliography of Button's Histoire Naturelle
a knot that may never be fully unraveled.
In the first edition of the Histoire Naturelle
mineralogy is treated at the end of the work in five
volumes that were published between 1783 and 1788. In
addition 3 supplemental volumes dealing with mineralogy
were published. Xxx xxxxxx xx xxxxx xx xxxxxx. Xxx

EXTREMELY RARE. The Prospectus for the Histoire
Naturelle, written by Buffon himself, announcing to the
world the publication of his revolutionary natural history
work. It was to present "for the first time a complete
survey of natural history in a popular form... [Buffon] was
the first to present the universe as one complete whole
and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely
scientific explanation." (Printing and the Mind of Man).
Here the project is outlined, with Buffon envisioning 15
volumes to complete the text, the methodology followed,
the contents of each volume, types of illustrations, etc.
He emphasizes that the appearance of each volume will
resemble the prospectus. At the conclusion, are listed
the two booksellers — Durand and Pissot — through whom
copies of the work could be obtained.

plates including engraved portrait frontispiece (in vol.
I of Supplément), 12 maps, and 4 folding tables.
Very scarce. REWORK THIS ENTRY. Buff on
devoted his life to his monumental Histoire Naturelle,
a popular and brilliantly written compendium of data
on natural history interspersed with Buffon's own spec-
ulations and theories. Besides the comprehensive cov-
erage of natural history (including mankind) and min-
erals, the work incorporates Buffon's highly important
Théorie de la Terre, elaborated in the fifth volume of
the Supplement under the title Des Epoques de la. Na-
ture.
"Buffon's work is of exceptional importance be-
cause of its diversity, richness, originality, and influence.
Buffon was among the first to create an autonomous sci-
ence, free of any theological influence. He emphasized
the importance of natural history and the great length
of geological time. He envisioned the nature of science
and understood the roles of paleontology, zoological ge-
ography, and animal psychology. He realised both the
necessity of transformism and its difficulties. Although
his cosmogony was inadequate and his theory of animal
reproduction was weak, and although he did not under-
stand the problem of classification, he did establish the
intellectual framework within which most naturalists up
to Darwin worked." (DSB)
Buffon is considered the founder of evolutionary
theory. "Georges Buffon set forth his general views
on species classification in the first volume of his His-
toire Naturelle. Buffon objected to the so-called "ar-
tificial" classifications of Andrea Cesalpino and Caro-
lus Linnaeus, stating that in nature the chain of life
has small gradations from one type to another and
that the discontinuous categories are all artificially con-
structed by mankind. Buffon suggested that all organic
species may have descended form a small number of pri-
mordial types; this is an evolution predominantly from
more perfect to less perfect forms." (Parkinson, Break-
throughs)
Like that other great product of the enlighten-
ment, the Encyclopédie, the Histoire Naturelle was
a collaborative enterprise, outliving its instigator and
chief author. The two scientists who were foremost
among the several contributors were DAUBENTON and
Lacepede (first as Comte de, then as Citoyen): they
completed the work after Buffon's death in 1788.
Over 1,000 of the plates are the work of Jacques
de Seve, père et firs: a full list of the artists is provided
by Nissen. They range in style from exact anatomi-
cal drawings (skeletons, dissections, etc.) to settings of
animals in their natural habitat. The headpieces are
fanciful masterpieces of baroque decoration.
In spite of the costliness of the work, its numerous
editions and translations testify to its popularity. Most
sets lack some or all of the Supplement volumes, and/ or
various plates. For clarity, below is a breakdown of the
various sections of the work:
Histoire Naturelle, Generale et Paticuliere, avec
la Description du Cabinet du Roi, 15 vols., 1749-67.
Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux, 9 vols., 1770-83. His-
toire Naturelle des Minéraux, 6 vols, (the sixth vol.
is the maps bound separately), 1783-88. Supplement
a l'Histoire Naturelle, 7 vole., 1774-89. Histoire Na-
turelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens, 2
vole., 1788-89. Histoire Naturelle des Poissons, 5 vole.,
An VI- XI (1798-1803.) Histoire Naturelle des Cétacés,
1 vol., I8O4.
The Histoire Générale was a widely reprinted and
translated work. Sometimes only individual sections
were produced, other times the complete work ap-
peared. Listed below are a spattering of these editions
and translations known (or thought) to contain the min-
eralogical section.

Fritzch, B. de Bakker, C. Buys, J. van Schley and others.
All finely hand-colored. PAGE SIZE: 298 x 242 mm.
RARE. This item represents a tall set in its rarest
and most costly state, with the meticulous hand-coloring
adding another dimension to the fine plates. The periodic
avis to the subscribers mentions copies on grand papier, but
there is no mention of hand-coloring. Landwehr, in his
notes to the first edition in Dutch, quotes contemporary
source that mention four issues: normal paper, large paper,
copies with colored plates and (most expensive of all) copies
with plates and vignettes hand-colored.
The set was published and bound in five different
sections: Histoire Naturelle (15 vols.; Schneider, 1766-71),
Supplement (7 vols.; vols. I-VI, Schneider, 1774-79 Sc vol.
VII, Blussé, 1799), Oiseaux (9 vols.; Blussé, 1796-1795-
1799), Minéraux (5 vols.; Blussé, 1798-9), and Ovipares
et Serpens (2 vols.; Blussé, 1798-9). The correct number
of plates is problematic: Nissen calls for 1130 plates and
maps. Other sets have been sold with 1144 and 1156 plates
and maps.
With all the plates in beautiful Dutch contemporary
colouring, this work is one of the rarest and most
beautifully produced natural history works published in
the Netherlands. The list of subscribers which is found
in volume 8 lists only 2 coloured large paper copies, one for
Daum, banquier à Berlin (pour un expie sur grand Papier
Se enluminé) and the other one for M.L.P., all others were

uncoloured. The total number of copies printed did not
exceed 200, a few large paper copies were issued and even
fewer 'illuminated' copies. The price of a coloured copy
was about fl. 600 which makes it one of the most expensive
Dutch natural history books of the 18th century. The most
expensive work was a coloured copy of Seba at fl. 800.
The present 'l'Allemand' edition is the only quarto
edition to rival the original French Imprimerie Royale
edition (1749-1804) in 44 volumes. It does not contain the
later published volumes by Lacépède on fishes and whales,
as these were published after the date of above edition,
it however contains numerous additions by l'Allemand
which were included in the later French Buffon editions.
All plates are after drawings by de Sève, the famous
French landscape painter. The animals are depicted in
their natural habitat, amidst charming landscapes, villages,
rivers, mountains etc. These elaborately drawn plates, full
of elegance, became exceedingly popular and have often
been copied by later artists. They have an artistic liveliness
which is somehow lacking in the the work Martinet made
for Button's 'Planches Enluminées'. "Buffon's work is of
exceptional importance because of its diversity, richness,
originality, and influence. Buffon was among the first
to create an autonomous science, free of any theological
influence. He emphasized the importance of natural history
and the great length of geological time" (DSB).

VERY SCARCE. A French naturalist and
cosmologist; Buffon (1707-1788) is best noted for his
monumental work Histoire Naturelle, published in 44
vols, between 1749 and 1804. His writings contain
an evolutionary theory for animal and plant life, and
most importantly his volume "Epoques de la Nature"
contains the description of the origins of the earth and
other planets from comet impact with the sun and
solidification from a molten state. Buffon points out the
long chronological history of the earth that is recorded
in the rocks. Volumes in the set cover the histories of
the earth, man, animals, plants, and minerals. Many of
the volumes pertain to the quadrapeds. The volumes
offered above are the first edition of those which pertain
to the theory of the earth.

VERY SCARCE. Perhaps the greatest publication of
the French enlightenment of the 18th century was Buffon's
Histoire Générale et Particulière (1st ed., 44 vols., Paris,
1744—1804). "Buffon's work is of exceptional importance
because of its diversity, richness, originality, and influence.
Buffon was among the first to create an autonomous
science, free of any theological influence. He emphasized
the importance of natural history and the great length of
geological time. He envisioned the nature of science and
understood the roles of paleontology, zoological geography,
and animal psychology. He realized both the necessity of
transformism and its difficulties. Although his cosmogony
was inadequate and his theory of animal reproduction was
weak, and although he did not understand the problem of
classification, he did establish the intellectual framework
within which most naturalists up to Darwin worked"
(DSB).
This encyclopedia work provided comprehensive
coverage of all aspects of natural history, including the
realm of minerals. In the first edition, mineralogy
was covered in five original volumes together with three
supplemental tomes. In this 'Nouvelle Edition' the five
original volumes have been bound up into two physical
books. The minerals are arranged according to a scheme
that assigns them to three classes of rock. Namely, (1)
those created by primitive fire (=igneous rocks), (2) those
created by secondary actions of heat like basalts, lava
and ash deposits, and (3) those created by sedimentary
processes. The first volume begins with the classification
scheme and includes quartz, jasper, mica, talc, fluorite,
tourmaline, granite, schist, alabaster, marble, and others.
The second volume describes a wide variety of 'secondary'
types including volcanic ejecta, salts, sulfur, alkalis, niter,
borax, iron gold, etc. Volume three contains descriptions
various metals and their minerals including lead, copper,
silver, mercury, antimony, bismuth, zinc, platinum, cobalt,
etc., as well as descriptions of stalactites, quartz crystals,
various gemstones, and concluding the volume a tabular
arrangement of the minerals according to their physical
properties. Volume four contains descriptions of jaspers,
concretions, jade, serpentine, turquoise, petrifications &c
fossils, zeolites, pyrites, hematite, etc. The fifth volume
describes magnets and magnetism especially as it applies
to the earth's magnetic field. Accompanying this volume
are a large number of tables listing various voyages, dates,
longitude and latitudes.

VERY RARE. One of the great milestones in the
history of earth science, in which Buff on suggest for the
first time the great age of the earth. Buffon was an
extremely influential French natural philosopher whose
extensive works included one of the last speculative
cosmogonies: Les Epoques de 7a Nature (1778).
Beginning with the formation of the Earth, it covered
seven epochs in analogy to the seven days of Creation.
He proposed that the Earth was hot at its creation and,
from the rate of cooling, calculated its age to be more
than 100,000 years.
This is the first separate edition, of a text that
first appeared in quarto in the fifth volume of the
Supplements, to Buffon's Histoire Naturelle in 1778. In
this 12° edition the notes are incorporated as footnotes
(having been relegated to the end of the book in the
quarto edition), and there is a new Table Alphabétique.

1725) Italian theologian & conchologist.
Buonanni entered the Jesuits in 1654 and became
a pupil of Athanasius Kircher at the Collegio Romano.
After completing his education, Buonanni taught first in
the Jesuit college in Orvieta and then in the one in
Ancona. He was called back to Rome in 1676 to be the
Archivist of the Casa Professa, Il Gesua. He was appointed
Rector of the College of the Maronites in Rome, 1695-
1725. In 1698, he also accepted an appointment as the

curator of the Kircherian Museum at the Collegio Romano.
Buonanni collected shells of sea life, which he classified and
interpreted within an Aristotelian framework. He believed
in their spontaneous generation. Some of his observations
employed a microscope, which he had built himself.

RARE. First detailed and illustrated catalog of
the famous Museum Kircherianum of the Jesuit Colle-
gio Romano after its rebirth in the early 18th century.
GIORGIO DE Sepi had previously published a glimpse of
the Museum at its height in 1678. Kircher had originally
built the collection on a collection previously assembled
by Alfonso Donnino [ —1651], and utilized the net-
work of Jesuit missionaries to provide new specimens of
natural and ethnographic wonders from all the lands of
the world. Kircher also had a passion for Egyptian an-
tiquities including two authentic mummies, a collection
of exotic shoes, and the first cuneiform tablet recorded
in Europe. However, after Kircher's death in 1680 the
collection languished for years before Buonanni was ap-
pointed curator.
Buonanni resurrected the collection and revital-
ized its importance by moving it to a new building and
again adding extensively to its contents. Here he pro-
vides a detailed account of the objects and the genesis
of the museum. As a conchologist himself, he devotes a
large part of the text and 48 plates to illustrating 412
specimens of shells. There is also a section devoted to
microscopes and microscopic views. Buonanni's catalog
gives a good idea of the museum contents contained at
the time. It is a magnificent production and makes
it clear why scientific visitors continued to visit the
Museum Kircherianum. The plates comprise figures of
Greek, Roman, and Egyptian antiquities, fossils, shells,
animals, plants, waterworks, etc. Also illustrated is a
Magic Latern, the invention of which is attributed to
Kircher.

VERY SCARCE. Revised and edited by Giuseppe-
Antonio Battarra [see note below]. Kircher, the great
German Jesuit scholar, had formed during his life a
magnificent collection of antiquities and natural history
specimens. When he died in 1680, the collection was
bequeathed to the Collegio Romano. Although Buonanni
published a one volume account of the collection in
1709, this much enlarged work is the definitive edition.
The volumes cover mainly zoology, paleontology, and
conchology, and are superbly illustrated. It is one of the
most important accounts of a seventeenth century scientific
cabinet.
Volume 1 divides the text into classes of (1)
quadrapeds, (2) reptiles and insects, (3) fossils, minerals
and stones, (4) fish and sea creatures, and (5)
apparatus. Pages 94-152 describe the mineralogical
specimens, including gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin,
mercury, antimony, magnets, marcasite, salt, sulfur, amber,
dendrites, fossils, the Philosopher's stone, etc. Some of
these are illustrated on plates XXXV-XXXVI. Volume 2
deals almost exclusively with shell and bivalve descriptions.
Giuseppe- Antonio Battarra. (BORN: Coriano, Italy,
1714; DIED: Rimini, Italy, 1789) Italian cleric & botanist.
Born to a lower class, Battarra entered the seminary of
Rimini in 1738 to improve his prospects. After instruction
from Giovanni Bianchi, in 1741 he was called to teach
philosophy at Savignano. In 1748, he was transferred to
Rimini, where he remained.

VERY SCARCE. The first portion of the volume
comprises a general introduction to mineralogical
science, focusing on the applied aspects. This
introductory material is divided into 5 chapters
that provide overviews on the physical characters,
crystallography, applying crystallography in species
determination, chemical qualities, nomenclature and
classification. The remainder of the book provides a
descriptive mineralogy of the most common minerals
and those of economic importance. Complementing this
section are many fine steel engravings some being of
actual mineral specimens. These illustrations belong
to the finest black and white depictions of mineral
specimens ever produced by none photographic means.

BUSHELL
BUSHELL, Thomas. (BORN: Cleve Prior, Worcester-
shire, England, 1594; DIED: April 1674) English mining
expert.
Bushell was educated at Baliol College, Oxford. He
was afterwards in the service of Lord Chancellor Bacon, on
whose disgrace he retired into Oxfordshire, to reside on his
estate. He was strongly attached to the royal cause, and
had the honour to entertain Charles I. and his queen at his
seat at Road Enstone, near Woodstock, in 1636, when he
submitted his celebrated water-works to them with much
pageantry, and many speeches and songs took place. Dr.
Plot gives a long description of the place. For his services to
the king he was made Master of the Royal mines in Wales.
In this new appointment he, by permission, established a
mint at Aboresky in conjunction with Lord Godolphin, and
coined money, which he sent to his sovereign at Oxford.
Their mine yielded at one time one hundred pounds worth
a week of silver, besides half as much lead.

VERY RARE. This very curious book contains
a portrait and impression of Mr. Bushell's "Golden
Medal." In the Bookworm (1869), is a very interesting
notice of these tracts, which leaves no doubt in the mind
of the writer of the article that Bushell "was the canal
through which ran the fortunes of Lord Bacon to be
sunk in unprofitable mining schemes." The article is
illustrated by an engraving of the Golden Medal.

First edition, rare, of this study of the fossils of
Querfurt in Saxony, considered as 'relics of the universal
deluge'. Büttner (1660-1719) deacon of Querfurt, was a
theologian and naturalist, and wrote this work in order
to demonstrate that fossils were the remnants of the
Flood. 'Büttner... was firmly convinced of the diluvial
origin of fossils, and was strongly opposed to those
who attributed these "reliquiae diluvianae" to either the
"lusus naturae" or the spermatic principle. Büttner, in
his Treatise on the Deposits which are Evidence of the
Deluge, refers in surprisingly scurrilous terms to Lhwyd
and his animalculae' (Melvin E. Jahn and Daniel J.
Woolf in The Lying Stones of ... Beringer, p. 178).

PLATES: The work contains a engraved frontispiece
portrait of Byterneister and 28 other engraved plates. The
frontispiece is actually a smaller picture that has been
pasted down to the verso of the leave facing the title page,
and therefore does not constitute a true plate. However,
it is a finely executed picture of Byterneister within a
rectangular frame, showing his head and torso. It contains
the text immediately under the portait, "Henric, Johañes
Bytemeister | Libb. Artt. Met. Philos. D. Academic |
Julice Assessor. | Syrn. Ex verbo fides, ex fide salus. |
ad Rom. C. X. 17. et C. III. 28." The picture is signed
at the bottom, "Joh. Georg Schmidt sculpsit Brunsvig.
1734." Plates I— VIII show renderings of artifical items
such as mechanical apparatus, insturments, scales, looms,
and other man-made curiosities, while plates IX— XXVIII
illustrate items thought to be natural. These include
archological artifacts, corals, dendritic patterns, and fossil
shells and fish. Each individual illustration is numbered so
that its picture may be matched with the description in the
text. The plates are numbered Tab I to Tab XXVIII, with
Tab XVII folding. All of the plates at the end are signed in a
fashion similar to Ant. Aug. Beck delin, Io. Georg Schmidt
sculps. Brunvici. Tab I is dated 1734.
RARE. Apparently, Byterneister had a large and
extensive collection of both artifical and natural objects.
This edition of the collection catalog has been enlarged and
augmented with further descriptions and 28 fine plates. It
is divided into two parts. The first covers the artificial
or man-made objects, including insturments, tools and
old coins. This portion is further separated into sections
on arithmatic, geometry, optics, astronomy, economics,
mechanics, hydralics, physics, money and other curious
artifical devices. The second part of the work describes
the natural objects, including fossilized remains of animals
and plants, minerals, stones, and crystals. At its conclusion
a short text in German describes various ore specimens.
Enhancing the text is a fine portrait of Byterneister
that is utilized as a frontispiece, and 28 engraved plates
illustrating many of the more interesting items from the
collection. Plates 1 to 8 picture the artifical items, while
the remainder show the natural objects.

CALDERÓN Y ARANA, Salvador. (Born: Madrid,
Spain, 22 September 1851; DlED: Madrid, Spain, 3 July
1911) Spanish geologist, petrologist & mineralogist.
Calderón was professor in Las Palmas, but he was
deported for political reasons. He went back to Madrid,
where he founded the Institución Libre de Enseñanza.
After some time spent studying in Geneva, Vienna and
Munich, he went to Nicaragua, and in that country,
founded in León, with others, the Instituto de Occidente.
In 1883, Calderón was commissioned by the Spanish
government to visit the most important natural history
museums in Europe, to obtain the criteria by which the
reform of the Spanish museums should be made. He was a
teacher of geology in the University of Sevilla and, later, in
the University of Madrid. Calderón was an expert on the
geology of the Guadalajara region of Spain and the Canary
Islands.

SCARCE. Calderón's two volume classic work,
Los Adinérales de España, is the fundemental work on
Spanish mineralogy, and even today it is an essential
source of information. It was the first serious modern
attempt at a compilation of Spanish mineralogy, and
follows Groth's classification, describing the minerals
found in the Peninsula, province to province, together
with information about the deposits then known or
supposed.
Calderón compiled the information from his own
studies about Spanish minerals, adding historical notes,
new species and new deposits, because in those years,
the works of the Spanish institutions related to mining
and mineralogy (Escuela de Minas de Madrid, Real
Sociedad Española de Historia Natural) encouraged the
knowledge of the mineralogy of the country. Calderón's
work influenced most of the modern works that describe
the mineralogy of Spain.

tax, and the reduction of some privileges of the nobles and
clergy. To gain support, Calonne had King Louis XVI call
an Assembly of Notables, but the Assembly (1787) refused
to consider Calonnes proposals and criticized him bitterly.
Dismissed and replaced by Etienne Charles Loménie de
Brienne, Calonne fled (1787) to England, where he stayed
until 1802. Many of Calonnes official papers have been
published and two general works on politics have been
translated into English, Considerations on the Present and
Future State of France (1791) and The Political State of

Rare. First and only part published of a proposed
series describing Calonne's natural history cabinet.
Prepared by the conchologist GEORGE HUMPHREY,
Calonne's cabinet surely contained one of the largest
and best known selection of shells in pre- Revolutionary
France. This catalog is actually a pre-sale prospectus,
providing detailed descriptions of 1,439 items. It is
particularly rich in shell descriptions, but also contains
particulars of other natual curiosities including some
minerals. Being the finance minister of France, Calonne
was in a position before his exile to obtain early
information about the dispersal of other collector's
cabinets, as well as the arrival of ships bringing home
curiosities of the natural world from abroad. He had
the means to pay premium prices, and in this way,
Calonne built up a fine natural history collection that
was world wide in scope. In fact, many of the objects
were acquired by Calonne from major sales in France
and England, particularly the dispersal of the cabinets
of Prince Charles of Lorraine and the DUTCHESS OF
PORTLAND. At Calonne's sale, many items subsequently
passed into the collection of James Parkinson [see:
Organic Remains of a former Worid, 3, 344]. A full
sale catalog was subsequently published [which see next
item] but with far less detail.

RARE. Auctioned at a house sale by King,
the 3,037 lots consisted of shells, corals, minerals,
petrifications, birds, ethnographical objects, and
"artificial rarities." The sale was held in 1801 across
the dates, May 25-30, June 1-6, 8-13, 15-20 and 22. In
addition, a much smaller selection of 59 lots, including
minerals, was sold by Christie's on July 9, 1803.

Calzolari
CALZOLARI, Franciscus. (BORN: Verona, Italy,
1521; DIED: Verona, Italy, 1600) Italian pharmacist &
naturalist.
Calzolari was a pharmacist and a citizen of Verona,
in which he established an extensive museum of natural
history objects that became famous throughout Europe.
Francesco Calceolari was a famous pharmacist in
Verona and had a marvellous natural history collection
which rivalled those of Aldrovandi, Mercati or Imperato.
The cabinet is described by a contemporary as follows:
'a most abundant repository and true treasure of all
remarkable medicinal things, in which I observed each
one placed in wonderful order in most decorative and
elegant compartments and cases. First, (Calzolari) sought
exceptional herbs and then the rest from their own distant
places and regions, sent to him as gifts from the greatest
princes and rulers...' (Daston &c Park, Wonders and the
order of nature, 1150-1750, p. 154).

Rare. This is a collection of twenty letters,
written during Camerarius' stay in Italy, while
attending Prince Frederic-Louis de Württemberg, to
whom he was personal doctor. Despite great scholarship
and skepticism towards the work of others, Camerarius
was an exceptionally credulous man who devoted
himself zealously to mysticism and the secret arts,
including alchemy. He opposed innovation and progress
and was especially hostile to the iatrophysical methods
then being developed for the treatment of disease.
Among the letters published in this work is said to be
one that annotates the geological theories on the origin
of minerals and the earth of JOHN WOODWARD, which
was reissued in some editions of Woodward's geological
books.

Cancrin was descended from a mining family and
attended the University of Jena from 1759 to 1762. He
became clerk in the Hanau assessor office, 1764, to which he
was appointed assessor in the revenue office, 1767. Later,
he became professor of mathematics at the Hanau Military
Academy. In 1783, Cancrin entered the service of the
Russian Empress Catherine II, including management of
the Staraya Russa saltworks.

CANFIELD, Frederick Alexander. (Born: 7 April
1849; DIED: Dover, New Jersey, U.S.A., 3 July 1926)
American mining engineer & mineral collector.
Canfield grew up in an environment surrounded by
minerals. His father, Frederick Canfield, had gathered
together a choice selection of minerals of the Franklin zinc
mines and the son preserved them in their original cases
has his father had originally arranged them in 1856. Both
father and son were mining men, and their home was built
in the midst of the iron mines.
After the death of his father in 1865, Canfield began
his own collection of minerals and continued to add to it
throughout his lifetime. Early on he specialized in the
minerals of New Jersey, particularly those of the more
prolific localities like Franklin and the zeolites of Bergen

Hill and Paterson. Here were contained specimens of
franklinite and gahnite as sharp octahedra measuring 5
inches on the edge. Besides his unique and rich suites of
local minerals, Canfield's collection became a general one
and ultimately grew to between 8,000 and 9,000 specimens.
These he selected with great care and they were catalogued
and labeled with great accuracy. Special attention should
be given to the specimens he collected in Bolivia in 1885-
7, including a rough single crystal of argyrodite 6 inches
across and weighing 14 lb. Canfield bequeathed his mineral
collection to the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION together with an
endowment of $50,000 to insure its care and continued
growth. There it remains intact today. Few private
collections have exceeded it completeness of fine quality
of the its individual specimens. As regards the suites of
minerals from its native state it was unmatched, and as
a primary source of material it was used extensively by
Charles Palache [1869-1954] in his famous monograph of
the Franklin deposit which appeared in 1935.

magnifying glass, Cappeller concluded that a finite
set of basic crystal forms existed. These he defined
as the equivilent of dendritic, polyhedral, prismatic,
pyramidal, rounded, cylinderical, boytroidal and crust-
like. Any stone, salt, metal or earth he examined
could be classified under one of these forms. However,
since the author also believed the manner of origin
affected a substances' crystal shape, the same mineral
theoretically might appear in more than one category.
Although Cappeller misinterpreted physical form as the
equivalent of crystal form, his attempt at systematic
mineral description was better than any other of the
period because it emphasised crystal shape as the
primary distinguishing characteristic.

CARAFA, Giovanni, Duca di Noja. (BORN: Naples,
Italy, 1715; DIED: Naples, Italy, 1768) Italian Duke.
In his youth, Carafa studied grammar and literature,
learning how to write elegant Italian. His interests turned
to scientific matters, especially mathematics. Through the
use of private tutors, he advanced to the University level.
In 17.S», he was named a reader in optics and mathematics
at the University of Naples. While there, he became
interested in the natural sciences especially mineralogy,
geology and botany. He began collecting in these area,
creating an extraordinary garden at his Naples estate. In
1743, Carafa entered the military, and was rewarded for his
valor by royal appointments to civil service positions. From
1750 to 1760, he made extensive trips throughout Europe
and Russia, meeting many of the great scientists of the day.

tourmaline. By heating the mineral a weak electrical
field is generated. This field manifests itself in the
heated stone by attracting small bits of paper and ash
to it like a magnet. On his return to Italy in September,
1759 Carafa repeated the experiments he had witnessed
at the Società Colombaria in Florence, and this short
monograph records the results of that demonstration
in the form of a letter to Count Buffon. Aepinus
thought the work of enough merit that he reprints it
with commentary in his Recueil des Différents Mémoires
sur la Tourmaline (St. Petersburg, 1762).
Some libraries list this work under an author
heading of Noya Carafa, Duke de, pseud, [i.e., Michel
Adanson]; however this is incorrect. According to the

actually lived and authored this book.

Cardano
CARDANO, Girolamo. (Born: Pavia, Italy, 24
September 1501; DIED: Rome, Italy, 20 September
1576) Italian physician, mathematician & astrologer.
Cardano was educated at the University of Padua,
and became a public lecturer in geometry at Milan in
1534. In 1559, he was appointed professor of medicine at
Pavia and then Bologna in 1562. Cardano was arrested for
heresy or debt or both in 1570. Afterwards he moved to
Rome, where in 1571 he was pensioned by Pope Pius V.
Cardano was a self promoter, claiming more than was true
when he took credit for the cubic solution discovered by
Nicolò Tartaglia. During his life, however, he authored over
100 books on mathematics, medicine, physics, philosophy,
religion and music. For his mathematical innovations, "he
is justly considered the originator of the theory of algebraic
equations." (DSB). Cardano was also the first to write on
mathematical probability.

Rare. Cardano's famous and often reprinted
work, De Subtilitate [=The Subtlety] represented the
most advanced presentation of physical knowledge up
to its time, eclipsing the ancient works of Pliny and Al-
bertus Magnus. It was highly influential, though not
always stated, in directing scientific thought during the
late Renaissance. In fact, the Italian philosopher and
scholar Julius Caesar Scaliger [1484-1558] was disturbed
enough by its content that he violently criticized De
Subtilitate in his Exotericarvm Exercitationvm (Paris,
1557, and later editions), which was answered by Car-
dano in the 1560 Basel edition of De Subtilitate.
Essentially an encyclopedia, in De Su b tili ta te one
can find some article on almost every subject, including
substantial sections on technology, medicine, chemistry,
mathematics, various branches of the occult, mineral-
ogy, gemology, hydrodynamics, geology, electricity, etc,
and descriptions of numerous experiments and appara-
tus, including the pumps and the screw of Archimedes
and a system of Braille writing for the blind. It is
thought by some to be based on the manuscript notes
of Leonardo Da Vinci; however, it is more probably the
sole work of Cardano's penetrating but erratic genius.
The text also incorporates many woodcut illustrations
which add considerably to the descriptions.
Cardano organized his text along the same princi-
ple used in the arrangement of the writings of Aristotle,
dividing the work into twenty-one long books. The first
twelve deal with the physical world, beginning with the
principles and elements, air, light, proceeding to inan-
imate objects like metals, stones, plants, then to ani-
mals, and concluding with a discussion of man. The
subsequent nine books describe the immaterial world,
again in ascending order, starting with the senses, ac-
tivities of the intellect and concluding with the spiritual
powers, demons, angels, and finally God. The writing
style is sometimes clear, sometimes torturous, and in
some cases impossible to understand, which provides a
rambling dialog in the descriptions.
Of concern to mineralogy are principally book 6
(metals) and book 7 (stones). Cardano shows a mod-
ified Aristotelian idea of the physical world by omit-
ting fire and accepting only three elements: earth, air
and water. Repeating the facts and fantasies of the an-
cients, Cardano believed bodies found with in the earth
were divided into four genera: earths, juices, stones and
metals. Various actions of heat on mixtures of these
substances gave rise to all stones, minerals and metals.
Thus, clay and minum are grouped in the earths and di-
amonds, onyx, marble, jasper and quartz are considered
stones. The seven metals grow in the earth from seed
and are thought to have life. They are also each associ-
ated with one or more planets. Cardano also attempts
without much success to represent the hexagonal form
of quartz by close packing of spherical particles.

his famous statement (printed in the 2nd ed.), "Igitur his

SCARCE. The French translation of Cardano's De
Subtilitate was undertaken by Richard Le Blanc [1510?-
1574?] on behalf of his patron Marguerite de France,
Duchesse de Berry, the sister of Henri II, to whom it is
dedicated. Oddly, she did not finance the publication, this
was done instead the speculative venture was financed by
four publishers, who shared the high printing costs of this
densely illustrated volume. It was probably produced in
the standard print run of 1,200 copies, and protected by a
ten-year privilege. This first printing seems to have sold
well, which explains the renewed publication in 1566, using
the same plates, and another decade for the reprinting of
the 1578 edition. This reprinting seems not to have been
as successful, because the sheets of the 1578 were reissued
with a new title page in 1584.

SCARCE. Apparently a combined translation of both
of Cardano's chief works, De Subtilitate (1550), in an
abridged text, and De Rervm Varietate (1557). Tin/
translation was provided by Heinrich Pantaleon [1522-
1595], professor of medicine at Basel university, and
dedicated to the bishop of Basel. This was done to
ensure the publication of the work of an author who was
persecuted by the church and hardly printed in Italy.

Rare. The De nerum Vãrietate [=The Diverse
Facts] can be viewed as a supplement to the great
encyclopedia, De Subtilitate. It was published by Henri
Petri [see note below], who became Cardano's publisher
in 1554. It contains materials which Cardano had
gathered as supporting evidence to the ideas presented
in the popular De Subtilitate, but because of space
could not be included in its text. De nerum Varietate,
organized in 17 books, fleshes out the ideas about
the natural, man-made and spiritual world presented
in the 21 books of De Subtilitate with concrete and
specific examples. Thus, the work forms a sequel to De
Subtilitate, and, together with it, the 38 books contain
Cardano's observations and ideas about many topics of
nature, mankind and theology.
Henri Petri. (BORN: Nuremberg, Germany, ; DIED:
1579) German publisher & printer. Petri was the son of the
Adam Petri [1454-1527], a successful printer in Nuremberg.
He was a highly learned, shrewd and productive publisher,
and it is reported that he visited the Frankfurt Book Fair
more than a 100 times during his lifetime.

Propriis has a special title page.
Rare. This is Cardano's extensive treatise
on sleep and dreams, the most important such
interpretation of the 16th century. This work is
designed as an explanation of the De Somniis by the
famous neo-platonic philosopher Synesius of Cyrenne,
and was based upon the writings of Artemidorus which
he developed and elaborated. The second portion of the
volume contains most of Cardano's other philosophical
writings, including the chapters dealing with gemstones
and color. The most important of these is the De
Libris Propriis in defense of all his doctrines which had
been attacked on the ground of heterodoxy and magical
leanings. The Encomium Geometriae and De Secretis
deal with physics and alchemy. The Dialogus de Morte
relates the death of an English boy whose education
was entrusted to Cardano who felt responsible for his
death. There are other dissertations on astrology and
a vindication of Emperor Nero. There are some shorter
tracts of biobibliographical interest.

VERY SCARCE. In his capacity as general manager
of mines, Carosi carried out between 1778-1780 an
exploration of the Southwest regions of Poland. He
published the results of this, his most important work
in two volumes, Reisen durch verschiedene polnische
Provinzen mineralischen und anderen Inhalts (Leipzig
1781-1784). One of the goals of this expedition was to
locate a source or sources for mining salt. The saltworks
of Wieliczka and Bochnia had been lost to Austria
and the state required a new saltworks which could
replace it. Carosi also provides invaluable information
on the copper, iron, and black lead deposits that he
had visited. He also gives some information on mines of
the adjacent regions of Kielce and Ch§ciny. Carosi also
gives a lists of minerals collected, which he thoroughly
describes according to the "method of Werner" .

Spanish mining practice, including information on the
mines in the New World. This first edition of 1624 is
thought to be the first book in the Spanish language
on mining. It was reprinted and appended to the 1729
edition of Alvaro Alonso Barba's Arte de los Metales.

CARTHEUSER, Friedrich August. (Born: Halle,
Germany, 1734; DlED: Schierstein, Germany, 12
December 1796) German geologist & mineralogist.
Son of the German physician and apothecary, Johann
Freidrich Cartheuser [1704-1777], Friedrich August was
trained in the medical profession, but devoted himself
to natural history and especially mineralogy and geology.
Between 1754-66, he was a Docent in mineralogy, botany
and chemistry at the University of Frankfurt an der Oder.
Then he was named professor of natural studies at the
University of Giessen. He became an advisor on mining
and geological matters to the government.

Rare. This work describes the basis of
Cartheuser's system of classification in mineralogy.
It was innovative for its time in separating the
petrifications and figured stones into a separate class
of object away from true minerals. The system
described contained the seven principle divisions of (1)
Terree, which separated those substances that could be
dissolved in water and those that could not, (2) Lapides,
(3) Salia, including alkali and acid, (4) Inflammabilia,
(5) Semimetalla, (6) Metalla, and (7) Heteromorpha,
containing petrifications, fossils and figured stones.

work in 1636. He discusses astrology, physiognomy, and
natural magic. He adds a section on earthly questions —
the location of the terrestrial paradise, whether there
are springs on the highest mountains, herbs, metals, and
stones, and other natural phenomena. "It would appear
that there is more nature than magic in Castrillo's
book ... But he might answer that natural mague is
more concerned with nature than other sciences are"

Catullo
CATULLO, Tommaso Antonio. (Born: Belluno,
Italy, July 9 1782; DIED: Padua, Italy, 13 April 1869)
Italian physician, naturalist & mineralogist.
Trained in the medical profession, Catullo was
appointed in 1811 an instructor of natural history and
chemistry at Belluno, followed in 1815 at Verona and in
1822 at Venice. Soon thereafter, he was appointed a
professor in the same subjects at the University of Padua.
He held membership in the Società Italiana.

VERY SCARCE. After the introduction which
contains general explanations of the formation,
association, occurrence, alteration, decomposition, and
distribution of minerals, the author proposes his
own system of mineral classification based on Haiiy.
Each mineral arranged in the system has expansive
notes describing the usual chemical and physical
characteristics, localities, and uses in medicine. A
table of contents and an index to the mineral species
mentioned in the text concludes the work.

Italian physicist & acoustic expert.
Cavallo emigrated to England in 1771, where he
became generally interested in the science of physics, but
became particularly interested in the study of electrical
phenomen. Cavallo 's studies in this field culminated in the
publication of his most important work, A Complete Treatise
on Electricity in Theory and Practice (1st ed., London,
1777). He also published many other works on physical
phenomena, including magnetism, fluid and gas mechanics,
and musical sounds. Cavallo was elected a Fellow of the
Royal Society in 1779.

Rare. Co-authored with Andrea Chiocco [see
note below]. FRANCESCO Calzolar.I, a wealthy
Veronese pharmacist, created toward the end of the
16th century, one of the earliest natural history
collections, both competing and collaborating with his
colleagues and rival collectors ULISSE Aldrovandi in
Bologna and MICHELE Mercati in Rome. Calzolari's
collection was first described in 1584 by GIOVANNI
Battista OLIVA of Cremona, but it was his grandson,
Francesco junior, who inherited the accumulation, and
added to it, that history is indebted to for this
authoritative account of the collection. It was the heir
that hired the two physicians, Ceruti and Chiocco to
catalog the museum.
Francesco Calzolari senior was a native of Verona.
After studying under the naturalist Luca Ghini [1500—
1556], he went on to the University of Padua where he
learned the preparation of pharmaceutical prescriptions
using various plant, animal, and mineral substances. He
was an excellent student, and eventually left school to
open in the main square of Verona his own shop, called
"The Golden Bell."
In order to stock his shop with raw materials,
Calzolari would walk the mountains and valleys of the
surrounding area in order to collect plants, minerals
and animals. Soon he was driven by a fascination with
natural history, and he worked through dealers and
travellers to acquire all sorts of herbs, fruits, animals,
birds, minerals and fossils from throghout Europe and
Asia Minor. These specimens he added to a growing
collection displayed in a special room at the rear of his
pharmaceutical shop. Contemporary accounts indicate
that each specimen was accompanied by a detailed
label. As the nature of Calzolari's museum became
known, a steady stream of physicians, naturalists,
friends, and curiosity seekers began to visit. Eventually
the fame of "The Golden Bell" spread throughout
Europe, and it became a site to visit when travelling
through Verona.
Ceruto and Chiocco's catalog preserve a record
of the museum at its height. The exhibit room is
beautifully illustrated in the folding frontispiece. It
shows a room lined with nicely crafted open shelves
above a series of drawers at waist level. Underneath
the drawers are stored various urns and vases, while
stuffed birds rest on top of the shelves. From the
ceiling are hung numerous preserved animals, including
snakes, fish, lizards, a porcupine, and apparently
a human head(!). Many items that were typical
fare of ' Wunder karnmer' of the period are present in
Calzolari's museum. The strength of the collection lay
in the numerous botanical and mineralogical specimens,
some of which are illustrated on the finely engraved
plates. Within the section on minerals and fossils is
the first publication of Girolamo Fracastoro's [1483—
1553] idea proposed in 1517 that fossils originated
from once living animals. There creation being
caused by the changing positions of land and sea.
The catalog ends with a description of the library
and gallery of paintings of famous doctors, botanists,
philosophers, and mathematicians. In the 1640's the
collection was sold off, part going to a Veronese
pharmacist named Mario Sala, and part being acquired
by LODOVICO MOSCARDO and incorporated into his own
large collection.
The museum was divided into several sections:
(1) corals, (2) clays and earths, (3) crystal— lined
géodes, amethyst, fluorite, diamond, opal, cat's— eye,
emerald, topaz, malachite, jasper, beryl, sapphire, lapis
lazuli, turquoise, ruby, garnet, chalcedony, sardonyx,
carnelian, agate, magnetite, hematite, dolomite,
gypsum, and some fossils, (4) gold, silver, cinnabar,
copper, and iron minerals, antimony minerals, coal,
talc, alum, cassiterite and others, (5) the herbarium,
and (6) preserved animals, birds and snakes, including
a supposed horn of a unicorn.

CESALPINO, Andrea. (BORN: Tuscany, Italy, 6 June
1519; DIED: Rome, Italy, 23 February 1603) Italian
physician.
Cesalpino was physician to Pope Clement VIII. He
made original contributions to the fields of physiology,
botany, geology and chemistry, and his theory on the
circulation of the blood anticipated William Harvey's
[1578—1657] in important ways. Cesalpino's De Plantis
(Florentise, 1583) laid out principles of arrangement and
classification of botany that were developed through
Joachim Jung and John Ray into the system designed by
Linneaus.

RARE. Cesalpino's last work, dedicated to his
major patron, Pope Clement VII. It is a famous
compendium on metals and minerals by a remarkable
Renaissance scientist celebrated for achievements in
several branches of science. It was written as a
companion to the author's famous botanical work, De
Plantis (Florentige, 1583), and was intended to extend
his visionary theory of botanical classification to the
mineral kingdom. In addition, at the end of the 16th
century, Michèle Mercati had begun to classify and
catalog the metallic specimens held in the Vatican's
mineralogical collection, but died before the manuscript
was published. Cesalpino had been Mercati's teacher,
and after the later's premature death, succeeded him
as papal physician in Rome where he researched the
De Metallicis. Cesalpino intended his treatise to
supplement Mercati's work by not only describing

Cesàro
metals but also focusing on the papal collection of gems
and marbles.
Cesalpino divides his work into 3 major sections.
Book I deals with the genesis of minerals and sketches
a theory of classification according to their admixtures
of the four elements. Book II treats limestone, marble,
precious stones, crystals and salts, and the processes
by which crystallization gives minerals their regular
form, while Book III is devoted to metals and mining.
Throughout the author provides commentary from
ancient and contemporary sources, together with his
own insightful observations.
De Metallicis is an important book for giving an
early recognition to the true organic nature of fossils,
the phenomenon of crystallization, speculating on the
existence of oxygen and observing that gases have
weight. In addition, along with GEORG Agr.ICOLA's
De Re Metallica (1st ed., Basel, 1556), this work
provided scholarly background for William Gilbert's De
Magnete (1st ed., London, 1600). A whole chapter is
devoted to the magnet, and there is material on the
increase of weight on the calcination of lead, which
foreshadowed the famous experiments on oxidation in
the 18th century.
De Metallicis is also of interest, however, as a
compendium of fantastic lore culled from ancient and
contemporary sources: "Not only do we hear of a
lynx stone near Naples that bears mushrooms, which
Cesalpino regards as a great marvel but which may
be a fact, but we have the gem jasper suspended as
an amulet or are regaled with the virtues of bezaar or
bezoar stones. One from Persia that grows in goats is
tested in this wise. They smear a thread with poison
such as the juice of a white hellebore and draw it with
a needle through the foot of a dog or other part of
an animal, leaving the thread in the wound. When
symptoms of poisoning aggravate, they bring the stone
near, and if it is genuine, the animal feels relief from
that remedy ... " (Thorndike).

CESARO, Giuseppe Raimondo Pio. (Born: Naples,
Italy, 6 September 1849; DIED: Liège, Belgium, 20
January 1939) Italian mineralogist & crystallographer.
Cesàro was the brother of the distinguished
mathematician Ernesto (??—??). Although he began by
studing engineering, Cesàro early abandoned this field,
and began to search for his true vocation. Ultimately
he discovered mineralogy, and it was the pursuit of this
science that became his profession. He eventually found an
appointment in Belgium where he worked as assistant to
the mineralogist Gustav Dewalque [q.v.] at the University
of Liège. Upon Dewalque's retirement in 1891, Cesàro was
appointed professor of mineralogy and crystallography. In
1919, he was nominated as director of the mineralogical
museum in Liège. Among his publications, Cesàro authored
many papers usually published in the journals of various
Belgium Scientific Societies centered around describing the
minerals of Vesuvius, Italy and Belgium, as well as the
forms of calcite.

CESI, Bernardo (Federico). (Born: Mantua, Italy,
1581; DIED: Modena, Italy, 4 September 1630) Italian
Jesuit & naturalist.
Cesi was professor of philosophy, theology and morals
first at the University of Parma, then later at Modena. He
died during an outbreak of the plague. He may have been
related to an illustrious and powerful Italian family of the
time. They had several members rise to the highest ranks
of the Catholic church during the 16th and 17th centuries.

VERY SCARCE. Compendium of all the author ever
discovered or read about the subject of mineralogy. It
was published posthumously from notes he left by his
Order at Lyon six years after his death. Printed in
a double column format in a relatively small type-size,
the work is a vast storehouse of all things rnineralogical,
including new ideas, restatements of earlier authors,
observations and superstitious belief. The uncritical
selection of material lead Webster in his Metallographia
(London, 1671, p. 29) to criticize the author as
too digressive and as mixing tares with the wheat.
Partington thinks the use of the term "Mineralogia"
in the title is the first modern usage of the word.
The work opens by listing the evils and benefits of
mineralogy. Mining is considered dangerous because of
the lurking underground spirits. Mining also destroys
fields and forests. So asks Cesi, why destroy mother
Earth? The evil consequences from riches, iron weapons
and especially gold are described, with much poetical
quotation in the case of gold and silver. However, the
author notes that the study of mineralogy helps one
to understand the bible. It provides medicines and

Chambón
money, ornaments for religious purposes, tools used in
agriculture, industry, painting, music and alchemy. Cesi
then answers the question he posed earlier and declares
mineralogy to be a true philosophy, worthy of careful
study.
The numerous citations to earlier authors provide
evidence of Cesi's wide reading. Commonly, many
authors are referenced on single points. For example,
in describing the generation of minerals he closely
follows Aristotle but also cites Theophrastus, Avicenna,
Albertus Magnus, Agrícola, Gregorius Reisch, Pliny,
Boodt, Francis Rueus, Marbode, the Bible, and
numerous church fathers. The author is uncritical of
the views he presents, and accepts the authority of
the ancient and medieval authors as his own. He
believes that the Sun, Moon and stars influence the
subterranean world of minerals and metals, and that
gems have miraculous curative powers. He includes a
chapter on the magnet, and although widely read, omits
to mention Gilbert's De Magnete published in 1600.
As one progresses throughout the volume, citations to
references become less frequent, perhaps indicating the
author was still preparing the manuscript when death
unexpectedly occurred.
Cesi divides his work into five sections: the first,
treats mineralogy proper, the second the economic and
commercial aspects, for example colors and pigments,
the third, lapidifying juices of the earth that congeal
into minerals, the fourth gems and the fifth metals. At
the conclusion is a long and thankfully comprehensive
index. Much insight about ancient philosophy and its
affect in the 17th century can be gained from studying
Cesi's Mineralogia but one must sift through a large
amount of superfluous information to reach those gems.

medical uses of mineral substances, especially the
preparation of remedies. Information on the properties
and uses of minerals, other than medical, of many
substances like borax, alum, nitre, coffee, chocolate,
tea, tobacco, teeth, etc. are also discussed. A chapter
on gout and remedies to help reduce the inflammation
is also included.
Other issues fc editions: Based on entries in other
bibliographies, the original text appears to have been
reissued several times. However, existence of some of these
books has not been confirmed. The Wellcome Catalogue, (2,
p. 324) lists an issue: Paris, C. Jombert 1750 (10 [11?]11.,
547 p., 211.). A reported "Second Edition" of 1780 with
reportedly the same pagination as the 1714 appearance
is also likely to be a reprint, but no actual copy of this
edition has been located. Nicolas Gobet in his Les Anciens
Minéralogistes du Royaume de France (Paris, 1779) reprints
parts of Chambon's text.

1862 and an LL.D. from Queen's University, Kingston
in 1867. He was professor of mineralogy in University
College, London from 1850 to 1853. In 1853 he went to
Canada to become the first professor of mineralogy and
geology at University College, Toronto. He held that post
until 1898 when he retired and subsequently returned to
England. From 1883, Chapman was a charter member of
the Royal Society of Canada. Besides many books and
papers concerned with geology and mineralogy, he also
authored a volume of poetry, A Song of Charity (1st ed.,
Toronto, 1857; 2nd ed., London, 1858).

VERY RARE. This uncommon textbook is a manual
of mineralogy designed for practical field work, and
it is aimed towards students, prospectors and mine
operators so that they might determine through field
analysis the name of an unknown mineral. The
text is divided into three major chapters: I. The
distinctive characters of minerals. II. An artificial
arrangement of simple minerals based on chemical and
blowpipe characteristics (i.e. a combination of the
classification systems of Mohs, Beudant and Berzelius).
III. A natural arrangement of simple minerals. At the
conclusion is a long index that was written to form a
complete table of synonyms for all English, German,
and French authors.

VERY SCARCE. Apart from certain questions
bearing more or less directly on the subject, the present
Essay concerns itself entirely with the Classification
of Minerals. It is not intended to serve in any way
as an introduction to the actual study of Mineralogy:
nor, indeed, can its argument be properly understood
except by those who have already some knowledge of the
subject to which it refers. It is published as a protest
against the system of classification now so greatly in
vogue, by which Mineralogy is practically dethroned
as a natural science; and secondly, in the hope that
it may induce some of our younger workers in this field
of research to develop, sooner or later, a truly natural
system that may be acceptable to all. The writer's own
day has gone by for this. The inevitable "Thus far and
no farther" that awaits the coming years of all, is, in
his case wellnigh reached. In his discussion of past and
present classifications, he is constrained, it will be seen,
to differ somewhat widely from the views and opinions
of others: but, in contesting these views, he has striven
to do so without undue discourtesy. — Preface.

Charleton
CHARLETON, Walther. (Born: Shepton Mallet,
Somerset, England, 13 February 1619; DIED: London,
England, 6 May 1707) English physician & naturalist.
Charleton received early education at home. He
entered Oxford University, 1635; awarded degree of doctor
of physick, 1643; considered an extraordinary genius during
his lifetime, he turned his talents to writing about a variety
of subjects including Stonehenge, Epicurean ethics, and
medical topics; his importance as a scientist rests on "his
role as expositor of the atomic philosphy in a period during
which its reception as a viable doctrine was in doubt"
(DSB); original founding member of the Royal Society of
London; member of Royal College of Physicians, 1676.

VERY SCARCE. Onomasticon Zoicon, the title of
this important and celebrated natural history classic
means a dictionary of living things. It is a work of
natural taxonomy, and Charleton gives the English,
Latin and Greek names of all manner of natural things.
It is the first English book to provide illustrations of
the English birds it describes. In addition to listings of
quadrupeds, insects, birds and fish, the text includes in
the third and final section an early and important list
of fossils.
In Charleton's time, fossil referred to anything
dug from the earth, and consequently many of the

Among those fossils listed are fossilized fish and shells,
agate, chalcedony, sardonyx, diamond, bezoar stone,
carbuncle, garnet, sapphire, emerald, gold, silver,
copper, tin, iron. Under a heading of mixed metals
mention is made of galena, pyrite, chrysocholla, minum,

VERY SCARCE. Second edition, substantially enlarged,
with much of the work new and in every part improved
and additionally illustrated. The change to the larger folio
size from the quarto of the 1668 edition provided more
descriptive space for Charleton and he makes good use of
it. This is a truly splendid volume. The text flows along
the lines of the earlier edition, but with the addition of
an appendix, 'Colorum Differentiis et Nominibus.' This
remarkable section which only appears in this edition,
classifies various shades of colors by their English and Latin
names. For example, there are 11 shades of white, 18 of
yellow and 16 of red.

VERY SCARCE. A classic text in the early geological
literature of Germany. The Mineralogische Geographie
gives an excellent description of the veins and other
mineral occurrences of Saxony and some of the adjacent
areas, and in the last few pages of the book the question
of the probable origin of the ores is discussed. It is an
admirable presentation of the facts gathered during the
author's long years of mining experience. He considers
in succession those facts which have a definite bearing
on the question of the genesis of the ore deposits, and,
based on them, he offers an explanation of their origin,
which, he says, cannot be considered as more than a
conjecture but which he believes represents the closest
approximation to the truth attainable at that time.
Next to G. Gläser and the map that appeared in
his Versuch einer mineralogischen Beschreibung (1775)
the map of Saxony in Charpentier's book is the earliest
colored geological map of Germany. He uses eight tints
to distinguish granite, gneiss, schist, limestone, gypsum,
sandstone, river sand, clay and loam. He uses symbols
to show the location of basalt, serpentine, etc.

Chenevix
CHENEVIX, Richard. (BORN: Ballycommon, near
Dublin, Ireland, 1774; DIED: Paris, France, 5 April
1830) Irish chemist & mineralogist.
Of Huguenot ancestry, Chenevix was educated at
the University of Glasgow. Soon thereafter, in 1801,
he published an analysis of a new variety of lead
ore [=anglesite] and of various arsenates of copper.
The publication of Remaries upon Chemical Nomenclature.
According to the Principles of the French Neologists (London,
1802) built him a reputation as an expert in the field. In
this same time, he also built a reputation for viciously
attacking the German school of Naturphilosophie, which
won him some enemies. In 1803, an anonymous handbill
was circulated among British scientists. It announced
the discovery of a new chemical element called palladium.
Chenevix, believing the substance to be a complex alloy
purchased the entire stock and began experimenting.
Subsequently, he reported to the Royal Society that
palladium was simply a mixture of platinum and mercury.
Soon after, Wollaston announced himself the author of the
handbill and discoverer of two new elements, palladium
and rhodium. After it was shown that these were infact
new elements, Chenevix's reputation was badly damaged.
Subsequently, he emmigrated to France, where he became
a disciple of Haüy. In later years, Chenevix wrote several
novels, plays, and books of poems. He was a Fellow of the
Royal Society of London.

VERY SCARCE. First separate edition. Originally
published as "Suite des Réflexions sur quelques
méthodes minéralogiques," in the Annales de Chemie
[see: 65 (1808), pp. 225—276], when Chenevix returned
to England he was asked to prepare a translation. He
declined, but offered assistance to anyone that would be
willing to persue the work. A member of the Geological
Society [who??] took up the challange, and work on
the translation began. However, about the time the
manuscript was ready for the press, another translation
began appearing in serialized form in the Philosophical
Magazine [see: ?? (18??) pp. ???-???]. This almost
derailed the publication of the Observations, but it was
decided that the other translation was inadequate, and
so publication proceeded, although it would appear that
not many copies were printed.
The text takes the form of a point/counter-point
discussion of the merits between the mineralogical
theories of Haüy and Werner. Although purporting to
be objective in its discussion, Chenevix is prejudiced to
the Haiiyian view of mineralogy. An additional section
has been included where Chenevix rebutts the criticisms
of D'Aubuisson, a Werner disciple, against the original
article.

SCARCE. A valuable compilation to the history
of mineralogical nomenclature. Besides describing the
difficulties in compiling a work of this type, Chester in
the introduction provides a highly interesting essay on
the history of mineralogical names. The long lists of
corresponents and cited references reflect the careful,
patient labor the author exercised in compiling this
book, the most comprehensive history of the names
of minerals ever published. The text lists in an
alphabetical sequence nearly five thousand names that
have been applied to minerals. Included are minerals
still considered actual species, as well as those that
are varieties or that have through history become
discredited or had the priority for their name, given to
another researcher. All except about one hundred and
fifty entries contain a complete reference to the original
authority and a derivation of the the names meaning.
At the conclusion of the text there is a very useful index
to the various mineralogists that have named minerals
contained within the body.

History
Childrey
Chiarugi received his medical degree from the
University of Pisa in 1780. He practiced medicine in
Florence, becoming the personal physician to Achispedoli
of St. Maria Nuova. In 1785, he was appointed director of
a new mental hospital recently built in Florence. He was
named professor of skin and mental diseases of Santa Maria
Nuova in 1802, becoming superintendent in 1818. Chiarugi
is considered the father of Italian clinical psychiatry. He
was the first in Europe to stop using chains and fetters in
treating the insane, instead developing new methods and
reforming the old methods.

Rare. Although this title was published
anonymously, it is generally attributed to be the work of
Chiarugi. It is a treatise of mineralogical classification
designed for use by the late eighteenth century collector
of minerals. The text is based upon the natural history
method, then prevailing throughout the science, and
consists of a synopsis of the classification scheme. From
the text it is inferred that the author had classified
his own mineral collection according to the outlined
method.

CHILDREY, Joshua. (BORN: Rochester, Kent,
England, 1623; DIED: Upwey, Dorsetshire, England, 26
August 1670) English naturalist.
Childrey graduated from Oxford University; Mag-
dalen Colleger, B.A., 1646. Childrey was expelled by the
Parliamentary Visitors in 1648. M.A., 1661; D.D., 1661.
Both of these degrees were mandated upon the Restoration.
Childrey's first books were on astrology: Imago astrológica,
1652, and Syzygiasticon instauratum, 1653. In attempting
to elaborate an experimental astrology, he confirmed an
old idea that there was a 35 year cycle in the weather.
He made numberous observations on the weather and the
tides.
He was clerk of Magdalen College, 1640-8. School-
master of Faversham, 1648-61. Later, appointed chaplain
to the Lord Herbert, 1660-4. Archdeaconry of Sarurn, 1664,
and a prebend in Salisbury Cathedral that same year. Rec-
tor of Upwey, 1664-70. Lord Herbert offered him a chap-
lainship in 1660. It is clear that he languished until the
Restoration and then received a living. Childrey made and
improved telescopes.

happen to pertain either to mineralogy or geology. These
include references to minerals, fossils, rocks, and mineral
waters. Typical of the period, this work contains an
incredible amount of information, and as such constitutes
an important historical work.

CHLADNI, Ernst Florenz Friedrich. (Born:
Wittenberg, Germany, 30 November 1756; DlED:
Breslau, Germany, 3 April 1827) German physicist.
At the urging of his father, until 1778 Chladni
studied philosophy and jurisprudence in Wittenberg and
Leipzig. After the death of his father however, he turned
to the natural sciences. His hopes of becoming a professor
of mathematics at the University of Wittenberg were
not realized. He turned to experimental acoustics and
discovered the Chladni sound figures, which are named
for him. To support himself, he invented a musical
instrument called the Euphon, which he took on lecture
tours to Dresden (1791), to Göttingen and Berlin (1792).
Eventually, Chladni was appointed professor of philosophy
and jurisprudence at Kemberg near Wittenberg.

at the start of the text Chladni asserts unequivocally
that the fireballs sometimes seen in the sky consisted
of compact and heavy matter, which came from cosmic
space, and that the iron mass found by Pallas in Siberia
was a meteorite similar to others that had sporadically
fallen in other parts of Europe. Chladni then
convincingly presents his evidence for this assertion.
At the time, meteorites and the fireballs that
preceded them were thought to be of atmospheric origin
and not necessarily connected to one another. To
support his theory that meteorites and the fireballs
that preceded their impact were of cosmic origin,
Chladni compiled accounts from about two dozen
reports. From this Chladni concluded the fireballs
could not be connected to the northern lights, because
of their high altitude they could not be electrical
in nature, and they were unlike lightning in having
a distinctive shape and following a parabolic path
in the sky while they were also subject of repeated
explosions. Chladni next turned his attention to reports
of falls, documenting a total of nineteen. The most
impressive, certainly, was Hraschina, which had been
preceded by a fireball that had exploded into several
parts and attested to by the sworn statements of
seven eyewitnesses. Eight of the nineteen falls cited
had occurred in the eighteenth-century: Ploschkovitz,
Nicorps, Hraschina, Tabor, Albareto, Luce, Aire-sur-la-
Lys, and Eichstädt. Chladni next examined meteoritic
iron discussing principally the Pallas iron [Krasnojarsk],
although he provides brief accounts of other iron

masses. Chladni concludes that there are bodies outside
the earth's atmosphere that occasionally fall to earth as
meteorites.
The impact of Chladni's work was to document
in a well reasoned manner (1) that stones do fall from
the sky, (2) that the stones (or irons) are the substance
composing fireballs, and (3) that the fireballs have a
cosmic origin. The first two ideas took hold in the
scientific community soon after publication; however,
it would be many decades before the cosmic origin of
meteorites was definitively proven.

RARE. After the appearance of his 1794 work,
Chladni continued his interest in meteorites. His
employment as a journeying lecturer provided him
with the opportunity to scour libraries for rare books
and papers that documented fireballs and accounts of
stones falling from the sky. In particular, Chladni
concentrated on eyewitness accounts that were recorded
in the old literature. The years 1816 to 1819
were particular productive for this purpose, as he
began delivering a series of lectures on fireballs and
meteorites — the first such popular lectures ever given on
the subject. Using his own collection of meteorites that
he had acquired through donation, purchase or trade, he
traveled from Paris to Vienna thrilling his audience with
the accounts of the sky raining stone. As a consequence,
he also had the opportunity to examine the meteorite
specimens held in many private and public collections,
most notably those at Vienna, the largest holding of the
time. This allowed Chladni to complete his final book
on the subject of meteorities, About Fire Meteors and
their Fallen Masses, which was published in Vienna in
1819.
Following the same formula as his 1794 work,
Chladni provides a detailed description of the meteorite
theory, adding comprehensive documentation of all
reports of fireballs and meteorites. The importance and
authority of the work in meteorities was immediately
recognized, although Chladni's evidence was still
not sufficient to convince the scientific community
of the cosmic origin of the stones. At Chladni's
request, the director of the K.K. Hof-Mineralien-
Cabinette of Vienna, Karl von Schreibers [1775-1852]
added a supplement, documenting the meteorite falls
represented in that collection.

CLARKE, Edward Daniel. (Born: Willingdon, Eng-
land, 5 June 1769; DIED: Pall Mall, England, 9 March
1822) English traveler, antiquary & mineralogist.
Clarke was Senior Tutor of Jesus College, Cambridge.
Beginning in the 1790's and lasting until near his death,
he traveled extensively. Between 1799 and 1802, these
tours included a long ranging excursion throughout Asia
and Asia Minor. In 1808, he was appointed the first
professor of mineralogy at Cambridge University. He also
accepted a posts as Vicar of Harleton in 1805 and Rector
of Yeldharn in 1809, both of which he retained until his
death. He built up a substantial mineral collection of
worldwide localities, which was purchased after his death
by Cambridge University in 1823 for ¿1,500. Clarke's
Traveis in Various Parts of Europe. Asia and Africa (6 vols.,
London, 1810-20) was a work said to be reliable in its
descriptions and popular within English society.

University in the early part of the nineteenth century.
The author follows the Linnaean natural history model
in his classification, by placing minerals into a Class,
Order, Genus, Species, Variety schematic. This text
would have been used by students attending the lectures
and consequently many copies were probably badly
damaged or destroyed by their owners.

version of the hydrogen-oxygen blow-pipe. The author
provides a short history of the problem, a review of
his new apparatus design, and descriptions of a large
number of experiments that were completed before the
extremely high temperature of the blow-pipe. Included
in the discussion are Clarke's successful experiments
in reducing apparently non-metallic mineral substances
to their metallic state. These include the reduction
of lime, Iceland Spar, Aragonite, common chalk, and
limestone from various world locations, to elemental
Calcium, various Apatite specimens to Phosphorus,

aluminum containing minerals to elemental Aluminum,
etc. In another part, Clarke describes the unsuccessful
experiments in reduction. Included are Barite,
strontium earth, Cerite, Columbite, Chromite, Titanite,
Scheelite, meteoritic stones, etc. As can be judged, this
work was important step in high temperature analysis
of mineral substances.

RARE. The literary tool of writing philosophical
essays as a paradox was a great success in the
sixteenth century. De Clave's Paradoxes, ou Traitez
Philosophiques der Pierres et Pierreries follows this
tradition. Within this mineralogical work, the nature of
precious stones and minerals and the definition of their
formation are discussed, much as De Boodt wrote in his
classic tome.
In the foreword to the work, de Clave outlines
an ambitious goal of the book, which was to write
forty treatises outlining the fruits of over thirty years
of research. However, only the two books contained
in the Paradoxes were ever published. The first of
these in 18 chapters discusses the opinions of previous
researchers on the definitions of stones, their material
cause (chap, iii-x) and their efficient cause (chap, xi-
xviii). Here the principle authorities are Aristotle,
Theophrastus, Avicenne, Albertus Magnus, Agricola
Gabriel Fallopio, Jules-César Scaliger and Girolamo
Cardano, which reflects the importance as well as the
tradition of Aristotelian philosophy in the mineralogical
science of the time. De Clave however attacks their
opinions on the formation of stones and metals. The
second book in 28 chapters describes the generation
(chap, iii-viii), the seeds (chap, xi-xvii), the definition
(chap, xx-xxiv) and the nutrition (chap, xxv-xxviii) of
stones. At this time it was popular to believe that
stones formed from seeds, much as plants, found in the
earth.

CLEAVELAND, Parker. (Born: Byefield, Mas-
sachuesetts, U.S.A., 15 January 1780; DIED: Brunswick,
Maine, U.S.A., 15 October 1858) American physician,
geologist, mineralogist & educator.
Cleaveland graduated with an M.A. from Harvard in
1802, receiving his M.D. from Dartmouth in 1823, and
his LL.D. from Bowdoin College on 1824. From 1799 to
1802, he taught school in York, Maine, then he became
a tutor in math and natural philosophy at Harvard until
1805. Cleveland was then appointed professor of math and
natural philosophy at Bowdoin College where he remained
the rest of his life. He was also was from 1820 to '58,
professor of materia medica at the Medical School of
(Brunswick) Maine. Cleaveland held membership in many
scientific societies including the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. A
variety of the mineral albite was named "Cleave land ite"
after him by H.J. BROOKE in 1823.

SCARCE. This is the first textbook authored by an
American, which focused on the mineralogy and geol-
ogy of America. From the outset Cleaveland had set as
his task to write a textbook of mineralogy and geology
particularly suited to American readers. All other min-
eralogies prior to this volume had been European in ori-
gin, and no one had described the minerals of America
in a comprehensive way. The task for Cleaveland was
daunting. America was a large area which he could not
hope to completely explore. Even so Cleaveland took
the first step. Starting in 1809 he began to develop a
network of correspondents and informants throughout
the Eastern United States with the goal of developing a
377

list of American mineral localities. Through persever-
ing diligence he slowly accumulated the necessary in-
formation. Even the War of 1812 did not unduly delay
the project, although Cleaveland did prepare his notes
for rapid evacuation in the event the British soldiers
encamped several miles away did pillage Bowdoin Col-
lege. Throughout this research Benjamin Silliman of
Yale University was a tower of strength to Cleaveland
and his project; Silliman supplied specimens, preformed
chemical analyses and experiments and advised Cleave-
land as to the general plan the book should follow.
The work is divided into three sections: Introduc-
tion, Descriptive Mineralogy and Geology. The Intro-
duction is made up of four chapters. The first cover-
ing definitions and preliminary observations is derived
from the German school of mineralogy, most notably
Werner's philosophies. The second chapter concerns
crystallography, external characters and chemical com-
position of minerals. Chapter three outlines the classi-
fication system by which the minerals will be arranged.
It is a composite system with its roots in the schemes
developed by Haüy and Bronigart. The final chapter
of the introduction describes the nomenclature of min-
eralogy. Following the introduction, a "Tabular View
of the Simple Minerals" is presented. This section the
largest of the work is essentially a descriptive miner-
alogy. It emphasizes American localities but is also
one of the great descriptive mineralogies of the time.
Cleaveland had not studied in Europe, and so his only
knowledge of mineralogy had been self learned from the
principle mineralogical works of Kirwan, Haüy, Jame-
son, Thomson, Bronigart, Werner, etc. In his descrip-
tions, Cleaveland syntheses the ideas of these varied au-
thors into a description for each mineral that is however
his own statement. The final section of Cleaveland's
Treatise is devoted to the geology of the United States,
and includes as illustration a geological map of the At-
lantic seaboard. This was a composite of a geographical
map prepared by his publisher, Cummings and Hilliard,
and a geological map previously published by William
Maclure.
Upon its publication the Treatise was deservedly
praised both in America and Europe as the definitive
statement on American mineralogy. Reviewers on both
sides of the Atlantic praised its content, and the tireless
efforts of the author in acquiring locality information.
His peers also acknowledged the value of the work. No
less a personage the famous Haüy is reported to have
called it, "the best elementary work on the science ex-
tant." It was due to this welcome reception that the
first printing of 1000 copies was nearly sold out by the
summer of 1818.

SCARCE. The first edition of the Treatise had sold out
in 1818. Cleaveland at the behest of his publisher under-
took the preparation of a second edition. For this work he
decided to focus even more on American localities. This
lead him to send out an announcement of his intention to
produce a second edition, adding an appeal for descriptions
of mineral localités in the United States.
"I am preparing a new edition of my Mineralogy, and
solicit from you accounts of new Localities, and such other
remarks, as may tend to render the work more useful."
"I wish to connect with the account of the Local-
ity some brief Geological notice, viz. whether the mineral
occurs in veins, or in beds, or is disseminated — the associ-
ated minerals — and the rocíe, which contains them. In most
cases, the form, structure, and prevailing color of the min-
eral may be mentioned."
"I also wish to obtain as accurate information, as
possible, in regard to all minerals explored for useful or
ornamentai purposes, such as Nitre, Common Salt, Mar-
ble, Marl, Gypsum, Precious Stones, Steatite, Roof Slate,
Clays, Pigments, Anthracite, Graphite, Coal, Ores of met-
als, Chromate of Lead, ice. The quanitity of the aforemen-
tioned substances annually obtained or manufactured, the
quality, including the per cent, of metal yielded by ores, and
the price are particularly requested." [Quoted by Greene,
J. С ic Burke, J.G. (1978), p. 90-91.]
The response to Cleaveland's request was extraordi-
nary. His colleagues were eager to supply all the informa-
tion they could to insure the second editon was a success.
More than any revisions Cleaveland made to the text, it
was the inclusion of this data that balloned the size of the
Treatise an additional 150 pages.
This work with minor revision follows the scheme of
the first edition. It contains a frontispiece geological map
prepared from William Maclure's earlier map of 1817 and
written communications with H.H. Hayden. It was the sec-
ond major geological map of the United States. Of the
text, the first part treats crystallography, physical and op-
tical properties, chemistry, systematics of mineralogy, and
nomenclature. This is followed by the descriptive miner-
alogy, which begins in volume one and is carried well into
the second. The introduction to geology then commences.
A vocabulary, explanation of the five plates, and an index
conclude the work.

COLLINS, Joseph Henry. (Born: London, England,
1841; DIED: London, England, 1916) English mining
expert.
Collins had his early education in Derbyshire, which
influenced his life long interest in minerals. He was
apprenticed to the sculpture R. Underwood, but instead
chose to continue his education. While attending the
Royal School of Mines in 1868, Collins together with his
classmate, A. LlVERSIDGE successfully carried off one of the
Royal exhibitions, much to the embarrassment of the school
authorities. In 1869, Collins was offered a position as
lecturer and assistant secretary to the Miner's Association
of Cornwall and Devon. In accepting the post, he moved to
Truro, where he became well versed in the Cornish mining
methods. In 1873, Collins returned to London and began
working as a consulting engineer. From 1880 to 1884 he
was employed in Spain, but returned to London for health
reasons. Collins was elected a Fellow of the Geological
Society, London in 1869, and he was also instrumental in
founding the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and
Ireland in 1876.

found in the pennisula of Cornwall in the north— west of
the island of England. This extraordinary area though
small in size has produced an abundance of different
mineral species. Part one provides a determinative
mineralogy, gives a nomenclature of Cornish minerals,
provides a systematic overview, distribution in the area
and the paragensis of the species ??. Part two is an
alphabetical list of minerals found in Cornwall and

RARE. The third edition of the Encyclopaedia Bri-
tannica (15 vols., London, 1787-97), which included bi-
ographical sketches and accounts of historical events, is
known to have sold over 13,000 copies in the British Em-
pire. The Philadelphia publisher Thomas Dobson [see
note below] thought he saw a business opportunity and
issued a call for subscribers for an American version.
Part of Dobson's incitement was that all materials from
paper and ink to type and binding would be of American
origin. This brought out a sufficient subscription and
publication began in 1790 and was completed 18 vol-
umes later in 1798. However, from the beginning, the
venture was strapped for cash and in late 1793 a fire at
Dobson's shop further strained the publisher's finances.
Beginning in 1794 several publications appeared that
are extracts of long articles from the complete Ency-
clopaedia. These rare books were probably published
to help keep Dobson solvent.
The Compendious System of Mineralogy and Met-
allurgy was one of several books separately published
that contain articles from Dobson's Encyclopaedia. The
original articles were authored by the famous Scot-
tish mineralogist ROBERT JAMESON, and give a good
overview and description of the subjects at the end of
eighteenth century. Because of its early date this is the
first book published on these subjects in America in En-
glish and is preceded only by the 1763 German edition
of Barba published at Ephrata, Pennsylvania [which see

second mineralogical work published in America in En-
glish [see next entry]. However, both editions are rare
items and infrequently encountered.

9 March 1823) American publisher, printer & bookseller.
Dobson married in Scotland but emigrated to the United
States in the spring of 1784. He opened a bookshop in
Philadelphia in 1785 and was soon established as one of
the leading dealers of medical, professional and scientific
books in the United States. In the post Revolutionary
period he was noted for printing America editions of recent
British publications. To sell his merchandise, he cultivated
close relationships with the local scientific societies and the
faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where Dobson
met many potential customers. Several set backs through
the years caused his business to fail and for Dobson to die
in obscurity.

COMSTOCK, John Lee. (Born: East Lyme,
Connecticut, U.S.A., 25 September 1789; DIED:
Hartford, Connecticut, U.S.A., 21 November 1858)
American author.
Little is known of his life until the war of 1812-
15. Then he worked as a surgeon in the army and
thereafter added M.D. to his name. Comstock was a
self educated man, and upon his discharge from military
service, he returned to Connecticut where he lived the
remainder of his life in Hartford. As a means of livelihood,
Comstock prepared texts for the use of schools on a large
spectrum of subjects, including chemistry, mineralogy,
botany, natural history, geography, and physiology. His
Natural Philosophy became a standard, and its world
wide sales approached nearly a. million copies — evenmore
remarkable in the nineteenth century, than it is today. It
is recorded that Comstock possessed a good mechanical
skill that allowed him to construct whatever apparatus
might be required in his various studies, and being an able
draftsman, create the illustrations used in his numerous
books.

MDCCCIXT1I.
Elements of Mineralogy, 1827
of A Manual of Mineralogy by J.L. Comstock in which
"the science is illustrated by cuts in the text, and a
considerable number of colored engravings ..." Since no
copies are recorded in the libraries of the United States
or Great Britain, this particular title would seem never
to have been published. In the next year, however,
Comstock's Elements of Mineralogy did appear, and
although containing no plates, colored or plain, the
work is illustrated throughout with woodcuts. Elements
would therefore appear to be the rechristened Manual
announced in 1826.
Elements is a volume that was designed as a
less expensive and weighty alternative to PARKER
Cleaveland's landmark Treatise. It was intended to be
used as a textbook in the schools and higher seminars in
America, which were instructing students in mineralogy.
Therefore, Comstock begins the volume with the basics,
including preliminary definitions of mineralogy and
geology and the characters of minerals, and continues
into slightly expanded definitions of external characters,
color, luster, cleavage, transparency, etc. The greater
majority of the volume is then given over to the
describing of specific mineral species. Comstock
described his Elements in an advertisement as a volume
"... of such a size as to come within the means of almost
everyone ... and if well done, [it] would facilitate the
progress of science in our country." It is well worth
noting that Elements was not kindly received in its only
review. Here the anonymous writer berates Comstock
for appearing to know little or nothing of the science
of mineralogy and its current state of advancement in
America. The review ends with a classic poison pen:
"This work is as full of errors of the press, as of the
pen, and so far from facilitating the progress of science,
carries us back something like ten years."

VERY SCARCE. Introduction to Mineralogy is
written in a similar though distinct style from its
forebearer, Elements. The first noticeable difference
is that the woodcuts are of a cruder, less refined
character; however, the cuts do depict the same
subjects as did Elements. Unlike the eariler work
though, Introduction to Mineralogy enjoyed for many
years a broad popularity as a textbook and fieldguide,
which also created its peculiar bibliography. Oddly,
Introduction to Mineralogy was never reviewed or even
noticed in the journals of the period. This fact
undoubtedly contributed to its success as it contains
many flaws. In addition, no reference to either of
Comstock's works appears in any other American
mineralogy. Yet, the legacy of these textbooks is that
they were usually the first mineralogical work that
exposed American students to the science, and during
the gold rush, Comstock's Introduction was a title
carried west by many a forty-niner.

SCARCE. This text is divided into two parts. The
first is an introduction to mineralogical science. It
covers crystallography, predominate forms of crystals,
mechanical division of crystal angles, primitive forms,
most common forms, double refraction, colors of minerals,
luster, hardness, electricity, specific gravity, and chemistry.
The second is a descriptive mineralogy which emphasises
localities in the United States. Closing the work are
an explanation of terms, and a table of goniometeric
measurements according to WILLIAM PHILLIPS. This is
the third, and last revision of the text by the author.
Comstock updated the book by additions of new species
and an appendix "containing the description of minerals
not embraced in the body of the work." Locality
information was also updated. Although no other additions
or corrections were ever made to the text again, this
book was issued over and over until the middle of the
ninteenth century. After the eleventh issue, the publisher,
perhaps sensing buyer reluctance, replaced the words
"Third edition, improved" on the title page, with an edition
note [perhaps noting the edition of the title page itself!].
The twenty-sixth and probably final "edition" appeared in
1852.

CORNWALL, Henry Bedinger. (Born: Southport,
Connecticut, U.S.A., 29 July 1844; DIED: Princeton,
New Jersey, U.S.A., 1 April 1917) American mining
engineer & chemist.
Cornwall was a graduate of Columbia College in 1864,
and its School of Mines in 1867 as a mining engineer.
From 1865 till 1873, he was an assistant in the School
of Mines, with the exception of two years spent in study
at the Freiburg Bergakademie. In 1873 he was elected to
the chair of analytical chemistry and mineralogy in the
school of science of the College of New Jersey. In 1865
he was appointed superintendent of the Continental Zinc
and Lead company, of New York. During 1870-'l he filled
a similar office in the General Silver-Mining Company,
and spent fifteen months while in their employ examining
the Batopilas mines, in Mexico. Cornwall has published
numerous scientific papers, and has paid special attention
to water-analysis.

chemistry. He visited England in 1738 to 1739, then the
Erzgebirge in Saxony, becoming in 1743 Kammerrath of
mines and smelters for Brunswick at Blankenburg. He lost
this post in 1773 through the actions of his enemies. In
1775 he visited the Hungarian mines before returning in
1777 to Germany.

SCARCE. Translation of Elementa Artis Docimasticee
(1st ed., Leipzig, 1739), the most famous metallurgical
textbook of its time. Cramer was the best assayer of his
time, and he brings all of his practical experience into his
books. It was the first work to reduce the art of assaying
in metallurgy into a system, and Cramer's textbook is the
first of its kind. It divides the subject into two sections:
one theoretical, the other practical. Cramer acknowledges
the prior work in the area of Agrícola, Ercker and Stahl.
Cramer was the first to recommend the use of the blowpipe
in assaying small quantities of ores on a charcoal block with
borax acting as a flux. He describes his blowpipe as being
made of copper with a ball included to condense moisture
in the breath. Cramer is equally meticulous in describing
the other tools of the trade, many of which are depicted on
some of the finely engraved plates.

VERY SCARCE. The last edition of the famous Elementa
Artis Docimasticas (1st ed., Leipzig, 1739) to be revised by
the author. It has been expanded and revised through out
by Cramer's significant additions to the original text and
the inclusion of a third section describing metallurgical
processes on a large, industrial scale. Many more plates
showing equipment and processes have also been added,
and while the title page of the third part calls for 22 plates,
only 20 appear to have been issued.

physician.
Crichton recieved his M.D. from Leyden in 1785. He
perfected his medical skills by studying throughout Europe.
In 1804 came an appointment as personal physician to Tsar
Alexander I of Russia. Upon retiring from this post, he
returned to England. Crichton wrote several books dealing
with medical and geological subjects, and held membership
in many societies, including F.L.S., 1793, F.R.S., 1800 &
F.G.S, 1819. While living in Russia he contiuned to add
to his mineral collection begun years before. It eventually
consisted of over 4,000 specimens of the highest quality
from localities throughout the world

RARE. This notice was printed in anticipation of
a unique auction of minerals in the upcoming spring.
Crichton had decided to retire from public life, and he
commissioned G.B. Sowerby [see note below] to sell his
large mineral collection. Efforts were made by Sowerby
to sell the accumulation en block, but no purchaser was
forthcoming. This notice was published to tantalize
prospective bidders at the auction to be held in the
coming spring. It lists highlights of the collection, most
notably rare crystallized specimens from Russia.

Cronstedt
CRONSTEDT, Axel Fredrik. (Born: Stropsta,
Turinge Parish, Södermanland, Sweden, 23 December
1722; DIED: Säter, Sweden, 19 August 1765) Swedish
mineralogist & chemist.
Cronstedt studied mathematics at Uppsala, where
he came under the influence of J.G. Wallerius and S.
RlNMAN and became interested in mining and mineralogy.
He served in the Swedish army from 1741 to '43, but
afterwards, he became a mining expert by visiting the
various mines and smelters throughout Sweden. In 1747,
He was appointed assistant to D. TlLAS, before becoming
in 1748, director of the East and West Bergslagen mining
district. Cronstedt discovered the element Nickel while
analyzing the mineral "kupfernickel" [niccolite] in 1751. He
is also among the first researchers to use the blow-pipe in
mineral analyses, generating better results than anyone up
to that time. Berzelius said of him, "Cronstedt, the founder
of the chemical system of mineralogy, a man who by his
acuteness in that science rose so far above his age that
he was never correctly understood by it." During his life
he accumulated a large mineral collection of 3,000 items
which was inherited by his son. The collection and its
manuscript catalog were purchased by a wealthy Danish
landowner and collector who moved it to Paris where it
was lost. Cronstedt was elected in 1754 a member of the
Kungliga Vetenskaps Akademiens, Stockholm (Academy of
Sciences, Stockholm), and the mineral "Cronstedtite" was
named in his honor by J. Steinmann in 1821.

Försök till Mineralogie, 1758
SCARCE. Published anonymously. This is one of
the most important and influential works in mineralogy.
By precise chemical analysis, Cronstedt first realized
that every mineral is created from a specific set of
chemical constituents; he further realized that the
chemical uniqueness of minerals formed an ideal concept
on which a system mineralogy could be built. Pursuing
this insight with all his great skill and perseverance,
he applied every test at his disposal to determine a
mineral's chemical composition more accurately than
had any other previous investigator. In fact, Cronstedt
was so successful using the blowpipe in making his
determinations that he can rightly be called the
founder of systematic blowpipe analysis. Using the
results of his various tests, Cronstedt arranged minerals
according to their contained chemical elements, thus
creating the first mineralogical system to rely almost
exclusively on chemical determinations. This new
method had very wide appeal among mineralogists, and
many subsequent systems would copy Cronstedt's lead.
Another innovation was to distinguish, for the first
time, between true minerals of homogeneous chemical
composition and rocks, which are a mixture of several
minerals; the later, together with fossils, the author
separately classified in an appendix.

VERY SCARCE. A partial translation of the 1758
Swedish edition. Believing that Cronstedt's work
represented the best chemical classification available, the
noted mineralogist, Abraham Gottlob Werner translated
the section dealing with earths and stones; however, Werner
so expanded the work by incorporating his own theories on
the external characteristics of minerals that this translation
rapidly became accepted throughout Europe as the best
reference and textbook of contemporary mineralogical
science.

of earths, salts, inflammables, and metals. An appendix
is present, containing an account of composed stones and
petrifications; a treatise on the use of the blowpipe; a
description of the three pocket laboratories; a method
for analyzing earths; a description of an instrument to
determine specific gravity; and a new method for making
general weights.

Jean Hyacinth de Magellan [Portuguese: João Jacinto de
Magalhães]. (BORN: Aveiro, Portugal, 1723; DIED: London,
England, 1790) Portuguese naturalist & author. Magellan
entered the Catholic College of the Sapiência in Coimbra,
where he studied for 11 years. During his classical
education he became proficient in Latin, Greek, Spanish,
French, German and English as well as the studies of
mathematics, chemistry and physics. After graduation,
he entered into a religious life. However, his scientific
interests caused him to abandon the monastery in 1754 and
make a "philosophical trip." He witnessed the devastating
Lisbon earthquake of 1 November 1755, before leaving
for France in 1756. From there he traveled extensively
in throughout Europe meeting the leading scientists of
the time. He arrived in London in 1763, and remained.

Cronstedt
His chief contribution to science were his mathematical,
scientific and geodetic instruments, which are of the highest
caliber. He supplied these instruments to the governments
of Portugal, Spain, France and Russia. Magellan was a
Fellow of the Royal Society of London and elected on
Benjamin Franklin's recommendation to the Philadelphia
Academy of Science.

SCARCE. The Illinois State Museum of Springfield,
Illinois was created by act of the state Legislature in
1877. It accumulated a menagerie of objects including
a large mineral collection. This Guide is a fine work
that is more than a catalog, being in fact a well written
and popular textbook of mineralogy. The text has
chapters on nomenclature, the uses of minerals, history
of mineralogy, chemistry, etc., which is richly illustrated
with text figures and 31 photographic plates showing
specimens from the museum.

CROSS, Roselle Theodore. (Born: Richville, New
York, U.S.A., 21 August 1844; DIED: Denver, Colorado,
USA, 1924) American theologian & mineralogist.
Cross graduated from Oberlin College in 1867, and
studied theology at Union Theological Seminary and
Andover. Oberlin and York Colleges both awarded him
the Doctor of Divinity degree. He assumed the pastorate
of a church in Hamilton, New York where he served from
1874-1876. In 1876, Cross came to Colorado at the
request of the Home Mission Board to discover the reasons
for the short pastorates of young men who came to the
west. He became the first pastor of the Congregational
church in Colorado Springs who was not directly involved
with Colorado College. He served in that position for
five years. He founded the short-lived The Congregational
News in 1879. After Colorado Springs, he became pastor
of the Congregational church in West Denver, followed
by Minneapolis, York, Nebraska, Eugene, Oregon before
returning to Denver. While pastoring in Colorado Springs
he organized a group of boys into an exploring association.
The group is credited with the discovery of the "Cave of
the Winds" in 1880.

SCARCE. Co-authored with Fernand Robellaz.
This is the premier fascicule of which no more
were published of what was to be an authoritative
work on metals. The text describes gold and its
associated minerals. The first portion covers native gold
and provides information on the physical properties,
crystallography, and chemical and thermal properties.
Specimens of native gold are described and illustrated
on the plates as are mineral species and rock types
that are associated with native metal. The second part
describes mineral species that contain gold, such as
electum, amalgam, calaverite, petzite, sylvanite, etc. A
third section provides an historical introduction to gold
and its history in Africa, Asia and Europe. Modern
uses and discoveries are then described and include

CUPANI
CUPANI, Francesco. (BORN: Mirto, Messina, Sicily,
21 January 1657; DIED: Mirto, Messina, Sicily, 19
January 1710/11) Italian botanist.
Cupani studied medicine and became a Franciscan.
He dedicated himself to the study of natural history,
and most especially botany. In particular he studied the
Sicilian flora and was the friend and student of SILVIO
BOCCONE, who was a pioneer naturalist in Sicily. Due to
a huge correspondence among his contemporaries, Cupani
became very famous throughout all of Europe. He founded
a botanical garden 'Garden of Misilmeri' in 1692 where
native and exotic plants were cultivated.

It illustrates the plants, animals, and minerals of that
island. There is little or no text as the work was still
in preparation when Cupani died. Never the less, the
Panphyton Siculum contains the first descriptions of
several plant species new to science.

CUVIER
CUVIER, George. (BORN: Montbéliard, France, 23
August 1769; DIED: Paris, France, 13 May 1832) French
naturalist.
Baron Georges Leopold Chretien Frédéric Dagobert
Cuvier, French naturalist, was born at Montbéliard, and
was the son of a retired officer on half-pay belonging to
a Protestant family which had emigrated from the Jura
mountains on the French-Swiss border as a consequence of
religious persecution.
He early showed a bent towards the investigation of
natural phenomena, and was noted for his studious habits
and marvellous memory. After spending four years at the
Academy of Stuttgart, he accepted the position of tutor in
the family of the Comte d'Héricy, who was in the habit of
spending the summer near Fecamp. It thus came about
that he made the acquaintance of the agriculturist, AH
Tessier, who was then living at Fecamp, and who wrote
strongly in favour of his protégé to his friends in Paris
— with the result that Cuvier, after corresponding with
the well-known naturalist E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, was
appointed in 1795 assistant to the professor of comparative
anatomy at the Museum dHistoire Naturelle.

VERY SCARCE. This lavishly illustrated and
brillantly written work collects together Cuvier 's many
separate publications on fossil remains, essentially
founding the science of modern paleontology, and
greatly advancing the development of comparative
anatomy. His presentation of evidence of progressive
development he destroyed the view of immutability
of speices and contributed to the Darwinian theory
of evolution. The Discours Préliminaire published in
volume one (later published as the much discussed
Discours sur les Révolutions du Globe) contains the
author's famous theory of the remote history of the
earth. "In the whole literature of comparative anatomy
and paleontology there is scarcely any work that can
rank with this great masterpiece" (Zittel).

established on a basis of accurate observation the prin-

enormous advances which have since been made in this

they deserve an honoured place among the founders of

VERY SCARCE. This splendid and unsurpassed
topographical mineralogy describes the rich geological
region of Tuscany in Italy. Each species known to occur
within the area is provided a full description, including
known occurrences, mineralogical associations, and
occasional notes on the history of that species in
Tuscany. The text principally treats these descriptions,
while the three indexes at the end reference the localities
where species are found, the principal mines and caves
of the region, and a list of all mineral species mentioned.

Rare. This work describing the progress of geology
from 1834 to 1845 can today still be consulted with profit
for the geological historian. Originally it was to consist
of four volumes, but D'Archiardi finally gave up writing
at volume eight. The work is divided into the following
volumes. 1. Cosmogeny and géogénie, physique of the
earth. 2. Le part. Terrain quaternary or torrential. 2.
2nd share. Tertiary ground. 3. Nummulitic formation.
Rocks igneous or pyrogenic of the quaternary and tertiary
times. 4. and 5. Cretaceous formation. 6. and 7. Jurassic
formation. 8. Triassic formation. Illustrated by 4 plates.
These volumes are a remarkable collection of learning that
is still highly appreciated by geologists.

Memoire, 1766
author here examines the fusibilités of many minerals,
including talc, various carbonates, gypsum, quartz, etc.
The results of these experiments are contained in this
paper, Mémoire sur l'Action d'un Feu Egal, which
was in large measure responsible for the growth of the
French glass and pottery industry. D'Arcet in fact was
the first in France to manufacture true porcelain. Also,
contained with in this book, is the author's description
of the combustibility of diamond, and an account of his
classification system of minerals.

37-101) treats medicinal waters, minerals and stones.
Brief descriptions with supposed curative properties
are reported for about 40 species including clay,
marl, sulfur, arsenic, bitumen, various salts, magnet,
hematite, cinnabar, cobalt, bismuth, antimony, iron,
tin, gold, silver, lead, copper, pumice, chrysocolla,
carbuncle, lapis lazuli, diamond, talc, selenite,
alabaster, ¿Etite, sardonyx, nephrite, garnet, ruby,
amethyst, sapphire, topaz, beryl, emerald, opal, etc.
Book two covers "Phytologia" (pp. 102-523) and
includes cures derived from corals, fungus, sponges,
etc. The third book contains zoology (pp. 524-642),
while book four discusses "Anthropologia" (pp. 643-
649). An appendix concludes the text. The book was a
very popular work going through at least five editions
by 1751. Interestingly, it contains the first use of the
word Pharmacology, which Dale derived from two Greek

VERY SCARCE. To this work by Silas Taylor [see
note below] on the history and antiquities of Harwich
and Dovercourt, Dale has added a long appendix
dealing with the natural history of the region, including
a study of the mineralogy. In "To The Reader"
Dale notes that this is the first printing of Taylor's
History, which had been written in 1676. Dale then
provides a biographical sketch of Taylor's life and
continues the book with a bibliography of about 200
works consulted in his notes (about 20 of these are
mineralogical in content). The history of Harwick is
then presented covering from antiquity through the
middle of the 17th century. The text is divided
into the five sections of topography, natural history,
dynastic history of the town, municipal, political or civil
constitution of the town, and historical notes. Dale felt
however that Taylor's section on natural history was
somewhat lacking and so he included a long appendix
that describes all aspects of the natural history of
the area, including its geology and mineralogy. Dale
provides descriptions of the fossil shells and teeth, pyrite
and quartz crystals found in the area, some of which are
pictured on plates 10 to 13.
Silas Taylor. (BORN: Harley, Shropshire, England,
16 July 1624; DIED: Harwick, England, 4 November 1678)
English antiquarian. Taylor fought on Cromwell's side in the
English Civil War, and he was rewarded. However, after
the restoration of the King, he lost all that he had gained,
but due to obligations owed him by connected persons, he
was appointed Keeper of the King's storehouses in Harwick.
He was a collector of all objects, especially manuscripts and
antiquites.

Scarce. Written with the help of J AMES DwiGHT
Dana, this work was executed with the science student
in mind. One half of the text is occupied with
descriptions of crystallography, physical, chemical and
determinative mineralogy, while the other half contains
the descriptions of species and a catalogue of American
mineral localities. The subjects of crystallography and
optical mineralogy are treated at length so that the
student may acquire the special knowledge needed for
complete mineral investigations. For this section fine
illustrations and descriptions of the best instruments
are given, as well as numerous diagrams and figures
of crystals. Descriptive crystallography is covered
with sections concerning mathematical crystallography
following the systems of Nauman and Miller's. Each of
these subjects is also very fully illustrated by figures.
In addition, a chapter covering the optical characters of
minerals, is among the finest treatments ever printed in
the English language. Besides there is a bibliography of
the subjects considered under physical mineralogy.
The descriptive mineralogy of the volume follows
in essence the classification set forth in James D. Dana's
System of Mineralogy (5th ed., New York, 1868), and
is in fact an abridgement of that work. All new species
reported since the publication of the System have been
included. However, of the species listed, the most
common are given lengthy descriptions, while rarer ones
are described only briefly. For fuller information, the
student is referred to the more comprehensive System
of Mineralogy.
Other issues: The Textboofc was immensely popular in
American schools of higher education and this first edition
was reissued each year from 1877 to 1896, with no major
changes to the text.

SCARCE. The first major revision of the Textbook,
occurred in 1898 bringing the text up to date and making
it a good companion to the author's System of Mineralogy
(New York, 1892).
Other editions and issues: The second edition of the
Textbook continued to be very popular in mineralogy
classes in colleges and universities throughout America. It
was reissued almost every year from its first appearance
to 1920. Then, the text was again revised by William E.
Ford, and published as a "Third Edition" in 1922 (8°: ix,
720 p., illus., diagrs.) and in 1932 as a "Fourth Edition"
(8 : [4], iii-xi, 851 p., illus., diagrs.) when Ford did his last
revision.

SCARCE. Often called the sixth edition of Dana,
this book was at its publication the single most com-
prehensive mineralogy treatise ever published and the
measure to which many subsequent works would be
compared. As the author states in the preface, in the
twenty-four years since the appearance of the previ-
ous edition, the science of mineralogy had made rapid
progress. This was evident in the many new period-
icals and journals recently founded that were devoted
in whole or in part to mineralogical pursuits, and the
nearly one thousand new mineral species added to this
edition of the System.
Edward erected this comprehensive work on the
solid foundation of the fifth edition of the System (New
York, 1868), written by his father, J AMES DwiGHT
DANA and GEORGE Jarvis BRUSH. From there he added
all the latest knowledge about species and mineralogi-
cal investigation, and created a mineralogical reference
that rarely was supplanted by other works. In fact,
the larger page format allowed Dana to increase the
amount of text by about a third over the previous edi-
tion. It was the best mineralogical work published since
the inception of the science and soon became a standard
in every library and geological department throughout
America and Europe. However, it was the comprehen-
sive nature that created its downfall. The science was
rapidly changing because new technologies were adding
new mineral species and invalidating many others. Al-
though several appendices were published to keep this
massive and at the time unique reference up to date
[which see below], this reference became outdated by
the rapid progress of the science.
The introduction begins by listing the form each
mineral species description will take. This is followed by
comprehensive reviews of crystallography, physical min-
eralogy, chemical mineralogy, and nomenclature. The
introduction concludes with an extensive and impor-
tant bibliography of mineralogy and crystallography
[pp. xlv-lxi]. The descriptive mineralogy then com-
mences. For each mineral, comprehensive details are
given about the name and variants, its first description,
the crystalline form and structure, the physical charac-
ters such as hardness, specific gravity, optics, taste and
odor, the chemical composition, the pyrognostic (blow-
pipe analyses), the occurrences and associated minerals,
alteration forms, artificial production, and references.
Other issues: The System was very popular. The
second printing declaring "Second Thousand" on the title
page appeared in 1893. Consequently, the text whs issued
many times over the next years. Like the previous fifth
edition, three appendices were written in an attempt to
keep the text up to date. They appeared in 1899, 1909
and 1915 [see their descriptions below]. Although these
appendices were bound and sold separately, in some cases
they were also bound up at the end of the sixth edition's
text, creating a comprehensive, though bulky book. The
last such issue was cl937. The following list provides the
first year and make up of these issues.
1899, bound with 1 appendix.
1909, bound with 2 appendices.
1915, bound with 3 appendices.

DANA, James Dwight. (Born: Utica, New
York, U.S.A., 2 February 1813; DIED: New Haven,
Connecticut, U.S.A., 14 April 1895) American
mineralogist & geologist.
Dana was born into a merchant's family of modest
means. Through determination and a zeal for learning he
was able to enter Yale college where he came under the
influence of Benjamin Silliman, professor of chemistry. It
was this close association that nurtured Dana's interest
in natural history and most particularly mineralogy and
geology. Upon his graduation from Yale in 1833, Dana
accepted the post of instructor to midshipmen aboard
the U.S.S. Delaware. In 1836, two years after his return
home, Silliman was able to offer Dana an assistant-ship in
the chemical laboratory at Yale. In this position, Dana
made many scientific contacts and doubtless this lead to
an invitation to join the Wilkes expedition of 1838-1842.
This enterprise is one of the great episodes in the history
of American science. The purpose was to circumnavigate
the globe, charting and conducting natural history surveys
in Polynesia and confirming the existence of the Antarctic
continent. Dana shipped out as a geologist, and when the
expedition's conchologist was dismissed at Sydney, Dana
took on the role of marine biologist as well. For four
years the world was his laboratory, an experience that
gave "Dana a competence in natural history matched in
his own day only by Darwin's on the Beagle' [DSB]. Upon
his return to New Haven, Dana commenced publishing
his observations made on this remarkable voyage. This
appeared as Zoophytes. Crustacea and Geology, a work that
although very specialized was none the less very popular
reading among the general public. His global experience
also gave great merit to his arguments in support of
Darwin's theory of evolution. When a position opened, he
was made professor of mineralogy and geology at Yale. In
1844, Dana married Henriette Frances Silliman [1823-1907],
daughter of his Yale collaborator, Benjamin Silliman.
Together they had four children, one of whom, EDWARD
SALISBURY Dana also became a renowned mineralogist.
Subsequently, James Dwight Dana became editor of the
American Journal of Science, which had been founded by
Silliman in 1818. Through this oracle, as well as teachings,
many articles and books, Dana devoted his life to the
expansion of scientific knowledge. Dana held membership
in every important scientific throughout the world. He was
the recipient of both the Copley Medal (Royal Society of
London) and the Wollaston Medal (Geological Society of
London), a feat few others have accomplished. In 1866,
the silicate mineral "Danalite" was named in his honor by
J. P. Cooke.

VERY SCARCE. One of the most significant
contributions to American mineralogy and the science
as a whole was made when Dana, at the youthful age
of 24 published his System of Mineralogy. Benjamin
Silliman reviewing the work, wrote: "On the whole, we
believe this to be decidedly among the best treatises
upon this subject that have ever been circulated in the
United States, and we are of the opinion that even a
slight examination of it, will be sufficient to commend it
to the favor of every cultivator and lover of mineralogy."
The text is a very complete and readable compendium
of all mineralogical data available to that time. Thus
this book is a fitting first entry into an extraordinary
publishing history that would see the System's fourth
edition define modern systematic mineralogy and see
the System 's sixth edition become arguably the greatest
mineralogy ever published as a single volume.
The body of the text is divided into six distinct
parts. Part I, titled "Crystallology" treats all manner
of crystallographic subjects including primitive forms,
systems of crystallization, nomenclature, and notation
for lettering crystal drawings. A section on the
theoretical aspects of crystals begins with a brief
history of the science, after which Dana unfolds his
own original views about the internal structure of
crystals. A brief chapter on the practical aspects of
"Crystallogeny" concludes this section. Part II, treats
the physical characters of minerals. These include
light, electricity, magnetism, specific gravity, hardness,
type of fracture, color, and odor. Part III, which
purportedly covers the chemical properties of minerals
in essence only contains directions for the use of acids
and the application of the blowpipe. In 1837, with a
flood of data becoming available about the chemistry
of minerals, it is surprising that more is not written
about that topic in this work. Part IV treats the
classification and nomenclature of minerals. Within
this exposition are discussed the relative importance
of crystallographic, physical and chemical properties in
identifying a mineral species. Dana also discusses in
detail the classes and orders of his natural classification,
for which genra and species are described in the sixth
section. Part V, "Determinative Mineralogy" contains
two tabular classifications the objective of which is to
enable the unaided student to arrive at the correct name
of a mineral. The first table is arranged according
to the system of crystallization as described in part
I. The second table, independent of crystallographic
data, distributes the minerals according to metallic or
nonmetallic luster and their colored or uncolored streak.
The species in these subdivisions are then arranged in
the order of their hardness.
The largest portion of the book is devoted to
part VI, "Descriptive Mineralogy." This portion
relies very heavily upon the system and information
contained in Fr.EDR.ICH Mohs Grundriß der Mineralogie
(2 vols., Dresden, 1822-24; English transi., 3 vols.,
Edinburgh, 1825). It begins with a tabular view of
the natural classification that lists the mineral species
under the appropriate class and order. Next comes the
detailed description of the species, with information on
synonyms, nomenclature, crystallization, localities with
particular attention paid to American occurrences, and
references to the mineralogical literature. Appendix
A titled "Mathematical Crystallography" begins with
the basics of geometry and relates this study of
points, lines and planes to its practical application in
crystallography. Appendix В gives brief remarks on
the chemical classification of minerals. An important
though error riddled mineralogical bibliography follows
the appendices. A good general index and an errata
page conclude the work. Through out the book and on
four copper plates are figured over 250 woodcut crystal
figures.

VERY SCARCE. The System's first edition of 1837 had
sold out by 1842. A new edition had to be prepared and for
this Dana retained the original format and updated the text
with the latest discoveries. This increased the size of the
work only slightly. The long appendix on "Mathematical
Crystallography" was dropped in most copies. However,
the most important change was in the appendix dealing
with chemical classification. It has been increased from 6
to 23 pages and it now includes a chemical formula for
each species. Strangely, chemistry is omitted from the
descriptive part. Also introduced in the second edition and
a part of all subsequent nineteenth century editions was a
"Catalogue of American Localities of Minerals." The first
one ran to 13 pages and included localities in 25 states.
This edition was published by Wiley and Putman as
the "Second Edition" in 1844. A note in the preface to
the fifth edition of Dana's System (New York, 1868) says
it: "This edition, failing to find a publisher in New York,
was printed at the expense of the author." However, this
appears to have been a misstatement. In the early 1840s,
Dana was not in a position to finance the publication of the
second edition. Instead, Dana might have misremembered
the circumstances. He did finance the reprinting of an 80
page mathematical appendix that had appeared in the 1837
edition, and had it bound up in a very few copies of the
second edition of the System. Mention of this is made in
the American Journal of Science review: "The mathematical
appendix of the first edition is omitted in most of the
present one; only a few are bound up with it for the
satisfaction of those who wish to pursue that portion of
the subject." The expanded work is otherwise identical to
the more common issue, which is described above.

SCARCE. This, the third edition of the System, is a
transitional work, clearly marking the end to the eighteenth
century ideas that relied on a "natural history" method to
organize mineral species, and bringing to light the use of
chemistry in a modern classification scheme. Not beating
around the bush, Dana announced this break in his preface:
"To change is always seeming fickleness. But not to change
with the advance of the science, is worse; it is persistence in
error; and therefore, notwithstanding the former adoption
of what has been called the "Natural History System," and
the pledge to its support given by the author, in supplying
it with a Latin Nomenclature, the whole system, its classes,
orders, genera, and Latin names, have been rejected; and
even the trace of it, which the synonymy might perhaps
rightly bear, has been discarded."
This cleared the slate for another classification, which
would rely heavily on a mineral's chemistry for ordering
the species. Dana was well aware of the difficulties this
approach would involve in the middle of the nineteenth
century, but he also realized that a better correlation
of chemistry and crystallography soon would be possible.
Therefore, he offered his new classification "simply as a
convenient arrangement."
In accord with this fundamental revision, Dana
made many other changes. Chemical formulas, derived
principally from the work of Rammelsberg, were included
in each of the species descriptions. The crystallization
descriptions based on Haüy were removed, although the
Naumann indices remained, as did the stated crystal
system. The extensive mineralogical bibliographies found
in the first and second editions was replaced by a short
list of major works in the subject. But some references
to the original literature was still included in the species
descriptions. Reading the text, it is clear that Dana had
not yet settled in his own mind all the points of this new
method, but the basic foundation was laid in this work.
Supplements: Published in the American Journal of
Science. 2nd Series were separate "Mineralogical Notices"

SCARCE. Four years after the appearance of the prior
edition, the fourth edition of the System was published. In
it, Dana introduces the classification of minerals which in
its major divisions is followed to this day, and is commem-
orated with the description, "Dana Classification." It is
based upon a combination of chemical and crystallographic
information, with the major divisions of species determined
by their chemistry, while ordering within these divisions is
determined either by isomorphism or similarity of chemical
formula or both.
As a necessary component of this system, the crys-
tallographic descriptions have been overhauled. Although
Naumann indices for crystal forms were mentioned in the
previous editions, the method of designating forms by in-
dices was not employed in the mineral descriptions. In this
edition for the first time, Dana has included extensive infor-
mation on the forms of crystals. For species rich in crystal
forms, a diagrammatic summary of the observed forms is
provided.
Also included in the descriptions were extensive
chemical information. Much of this data was based upon
the studies of Rammelsberg's Handwörterbuch des chemis-
chen Theils der Mineralogie (Berlin, 1841; 5 supplements,
1843-1851), but, the chemical studies of Dana, Genth, and
Shepard can also be found in the mineral descriptions.
Other issues: The work was reissued in 1855 and 1858
with no changes to the text.

Scarce. Assisted by George Jarvis Brush with
regards to the blow pipe characteristics, the fifth edition
of the System has a form that is familiar to present day
mineralogists. The previous editions had included an
extensive introduction describing the various phases of
mineralogical and crystallographic science in addition to
the descriptive mineralogy. In the fifth edition all but the
descriptive part was dropped and this was provided with
only a short introduction designed to aid the descriptive
part. This had now grown to 805 pages, three times the
length of the first edition published only 31 years earlier.
In addition to fundamentally changing the character
of the work, many improvements were made in the mineral
descriptions. The number of references to the original
literature was greatly increased, while the bibliography
in the introduction was enlarged. For the first time,
optical data was included in the mineral descriptions, but
was limited to statements of orientation, optic sign and
birefringence, but no indices of refraction were given.
The publication of the fifth edition marked the end of
James Dana's active connection with the System. The first
appendix was brought out in 1872 by Brush. It covered
the progress of mineralogy from 1868 to 1872, but was
not considered to be up to the standard set by the text
of the fifth edition. Dana's son, Edward took over the
management of the remaining appendices, and the System
as a whole in 1875.
Other issues: The fifth edition of the System was
reissued more than a dozen times. In fact, the appearance
of the three separate appendices allowed the publisher to
bind them with the text and reissue the combined work
with an updated title page. This update usually consisted
of placing the term "Sub- Edition" on the title, but with
the pending publication of the sixth edition of the System
in 1892, "Fifth Edition" was replaced with ever higher
numbering in an effort to entice customers to purchase the
remaining stock of what would soon be an obsolete text.

edition number if any.

VERY RARE. Another of those curious works
designed to be destroyed by the purchaser in labeling
his mineral collection. It lists by number Dana's mineral
species, following the natural history classification and
nomenclature utilized in the first edition of his System
of Mineralogy (New Haven, 1837). For each mineral
the class, order, genus, and species are given in Latin.
The text is printed on only one side of the paper and
is widely separated vertically to allow buyers of the
book to clip out the separate entries as labels for their
specimens.

VERY SCARCE. This volume was designed as
a textbook for practical mineralogy, aimed especially
at American students. Its first pages treat the
mineralogical science with regard to physical and
chemical characters. Following this are the descriptions
of the mineral species. All American minerals and
other species considered important are described, while
rarer species are set in smaller type and only briefly
noticed. The arrangement adopted, places the ores
of the same metal together. The descriptions of
the ores of a metal are preceded by a paragraph
giving brief general remarks about their characteristics.
Information is provided about assay and reduction,
the uses of the metal, and facts of a historical and
statistical nature. At the end of the text are chapters
on rocks, a catalogue of American localities of minerals,
a table of weights, measures and coins, and a table
for the determination of minerals. For more detailed
information on the localities of minerals and their
associations, the reader is directed to the author's
comprehensive, System of Mineralogy (2nd ed., New
York, 1844), which contains full lists of synonyms,
complete tables for the determination of minerals, a
more complete crystallography, and numerous chemical
analyses with their authorities.
Of particular interest in this volume is the
classification scheme. The first and second edition
of Dana's System of Mineralogy (1837 &; 1844) had
used a natural history method, yet the classification
adopted in the Man uai "throws together ores of the
same metals, and associates the earthy species as far as
possible in natural groups." Dana writes that he chose
this method because "this order is preferred by very
many teachers of science, and has advantages which for
many purposes counterbalance those of a more perfectly
natural system." It is here in the Manual then that
Dana first breaks away from the prevailing natural
history classification systems of mineralogy and begins
to develop a chemically based one. Dana would switch
to a system based solely on chemistry in the fourth
edition of his System (New York, 1854), and rewrite
mineral classification to the present time.
Other issues: The discovery of gold in California in
1849 caused the Manual to be in great demand. Many a

"forty-niner" carried a copy of Dana's Manual in their trek
to the California and Colorado gold fields. Subsequently,
many reissues of the work appeared. The first was in
1849, which although the title page calls it a "Second
edition," it is in fact a reissue of the first edition with the
same pagination as the first. These reissues with modified
title pages (title editions) also occurred in 1850 ("Third
edition"), 1851 ("Fourth edition"), 1853 ("Fifth edition"),
1854 ("Sixth edition"), and 1855 ("Seventh edition").

SCARCE. Due to the great demand for the book, Dana
prepared a "New Edition, Revised and Enlarged" that first
appeared in 1857. The text was increased by 22 pages
mostly dealing with minerals of economic importance, but
especially gold and its mineral associations. This "New
Edition", which became a standard in schools in The
United States, was then reissued with little or no alteration
to the text each year from 1858 until 1876.

SCARCE. This is the third major revision of the
basic book that Dana made. The book declares this
on the title page with "Rearranged and Rewritten" and
correctly calls it the "Third edition." Included was an
extensive chapter on rocks (showing the rise in the science
of petrology), and the title was changed to Manual of
Mineralogy and Lithology. As before, the work became
popular in classrooms throughout the United States and
consequently the book was reissued each year from 1879
through 1886, with varying "Editions" mentioned on the
title page.

SCARCE. In 1887, Dana made his fourth thorough
revision of the text bringing it current to 1886, which was
reflected with the book being called the "Fourth Edition,
Revised throughout and Enlarged." As with the other
editions, this volume was aimed toward the needs of miners
and practical mineralogists by placing together the ores of
the same metal. Reissues of this text with varying edition
information printed on the title pages occurred in 1887
("Fifth edition"), 1888 ("Sixth edition"), 1889 ("Seventh

DANA, James Freeman. (Born: Amherst, New
Hampshire, U.S.A., 23 September 1793; DIED: New
York, New York, U.S.A., 14 April 1827) American
mineralogist & chemist.
In 1809, when Dana entered Harvard, he was
particularly interested in natural history and already
advanced in his chemical studies. During his student
years and after his graduation in 1813, he was regarded
as a superlative chemist and mineralogist. Consequently,
Dana was regularly asked to analysis minerals and devise
particular tests. In 1815 he received the Boylston prize for
an essay on tests for arsenic. In 1815, Harvard sent Dana
to England as a purchasing agent for chemical apparatus.
While there, he studied for several months under Fredrich
ACCUM. Returning in 1816, he was appointed to supervise
the the renovation of Harvard's laboratory. In 1817, Dana
completed advanced studies and received an M.D. from
Harvard. Subsequently, he was hired by Harvard as an
instructor. In 1826, Dana moved to New York to become
professor of chemistry at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons. He died suddenly at the early age of 33.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored with Samuel
Luther Dana [see note below], this early American
topographical mineralogy is a reset, reissue of a work
that first appeared in Mémoires of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston (see, 4 1818,
129-224). The Danas provide in this work a detailed
and comprehensive introduction to the geology and
mineralogy of the Boston area. The authors describe
their reasons for writing the book thusly: "It is a
common remark, that the vicinity of Boston is no field
for the mineralogist. To this opinion we must ascribe
the coldness and indifference, with which mineralogy
is here treated. On great object which we have had
in view, in preparing the following work, has been, to
induce an examination of this opinion. It will be found,
that more than forty simple minerals, and several rocks
occur within a few miles of Boston; and that, if we
cannot boast the fertility and variety of mining districts,
we may reap a richer harvest, than can be gathered in
many portions of our country."
The Danas' account of the mineralogy and geology
of Boston and vicinity grouped the minerals into
four classes: earthy fossils, saline fossils, inflammable
substances and metallic fossils. Among the species
identified were lime, quartz, mica, feldspar, basalt,
garnet, epidote, asbestos, chlorite, clay, and ores of
copper, lead, iron, manganese. Each mineral is given
a concise description and locality. Although it is clear
from the text that the Danas understood the difference
between rocks and minerals, they followed the practice
of the time and included the rocks and soils with in
the mineral classification. A section on the geology
of the area, which faithfully follows Werner, has an
accompanying a remarkably accurate map of Boston
and its vicinity, indicating in color the surface location
of various rock types.
Samuel Luther Dana. (BORN: Amherst, New Hamp-
shire, U.S.A., 11 July 1795; DIED: Lowell, Massacheusetts,
U.S.A., 11 March 1868) American physician. Dana was the
son of a merchant and sea captain and brother of James
Freeman Dana. He attended Harvard, receiving his M.D.
in 1818. He opened a medical practice, but gave it up in
1826 to concentrate on the manufacture of sulphuric acid
and bleaching salts. From 1830 to 1840, he was associated
with the geological surveys of Massachusetts under Edward
Hitchcock. Dana was considered a leading American au-
thority on technical and agricultural chemistry.

Daubenton
DAUBENTON, Louis-Jean-Marie. (Born: Mont-
bard, Côte d'Or, France, 29 May 1716; DIED: Paris,
France, 1 January 1800) French physician, anatomist
& mineralogist.
Daubenton was sent to Paris to study theology,
but he preferred medicine. After receiving his M.D. in
1741, he intended to return to his birth city to open
a practice; however, Buffon, a school mate from his
hometown, engaged Daubenton to assist him at the Jardin
du Roi in Paris and his projected scientific works. In 1745,
he was appointed curator and demonstrator at the cabinet
of natural history. In 1778, he was appointed to a chair in
natural history at the College de France. For the fifty years
he was in charge of the cabinet of natural history, he made
a great many improvements. When the Jardin du Roi was
converted to a school in 1794, Daubenton was appointed
professor of mineralogy.

Rare. As we learn from the 'Avertissement',
these tables were exhibited in manuscript form during
Daubenton's lectures in 1779 and were printed on rectos
only so that they could be mounted on canvas. They
were used to clarify Daubenton's classification system
of minerals during his lectures at the Jardin du Roi.
It is from these tables that one learns Daubenton
divided the mineral kingdom into four orders: (1)
stones, including precious and semiprecious, (2) fossils,
(3) combustible substances, and (4) metallic substances.
Classes of species within each order are derived from the
physical and chemical properties of the minerals. As an
appendix to this system, he included a list of volcanic
products.
These tables were updated and issued through
seven editions. See their descriptions below.

DAUBREE, Gabriel-Auguste. (Born: Metz, France,
25 June 1814; DIED: Paris, France, 29 April 1896)
French mineralogist & geologist.
Daubrée studied at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris,
becoming a qualified mining engineer in 1834. He was
placed in charge of the mines at Bas— Rhin, Alsace in
1838. Later he was appointed professor of mineralogy and
geology at the University of Strasbourg. In 1859, Daubrée
became engineer of all mining operations in France. Named
professor of geology at the Museum of Natural History in
Paris in 1861, he also became a professor of mineralogy
at the École des Mines in Paris. Daubrée was appointed
the director of this institution in 1872. Recipient of many
honors including the Wollaston Medal from the Geological
Society of London, 1880. F.R.S., 1881. Member of the
French Academy of Science to which he was elected a vice

(pp. 115-148) describes the mineralogy of iron, while the
fifth section (pp. 149-228) concerns the mineralogy of
other metals besides iron. The sixth part (pp. 229-292)
is on the minerals that serve in the chemical industry.
Part seven (pp. 295-505) concerns minerals used as
ornaments, including gemstones. Section eight (pp.
506-524) describes various industrial minerals, including
quartz, kaolin, feldspar, mica, graphite, etc. Finally,
chapter ten (pp. 525-331) provides an overview of rocks
and petrology. Through out the mineralogical sections,
localities of specific minerals around the world are

VERY SCARCE. This is Daubree's most important
work. It is the summary of his research into
geochemical processes. The chapters deal with
different topics: geochemical processes, applications of
engineering principles to the understanding of geological
structures and mechanical problems, e.g., the folding
and torsion of land structures. This work was of
lasting significance and is still referred to today.
There are very interesting chapters devoted to the
effects of dyanamite explosions, mineralization patterns
(beautifully illustrated), meteors, artificial minerals,

VERY SCARCE. Pedro Francisco Dávila, possessor
of the largest collection of natural history specimens in
Paris, and wishing to establish an institution in Spain
to preserve it, approached King Carlos III of Spain.
But political difficulties and a approaching war with
England distracted the king, who declined the purchase.
Because of debts incurred building the collection,
creditors forced Dávila to put the accumulation up for
auction in Paris. For this purpose, a detailed collection
catalog was required. Dávila had already written
many descriptions, but it was his introduction through
Balthasar Sage to the young Rome de l'Isle that
created this remarkable record of the collection. Rome
de l'Isle took the existing material, added considerably
to the mineralogical descriptions, and put the catalog
into publishable form. In this task he was assisted
by Abbé Duguat who helped with the mineralogical
descriptions and Abbé Gua de Malves [1712-1786] who
described the shells. Through their efforts, two volumes
describing natural history specimens were produced,
one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In
addition, a third volume written by Rome de l'Isle
probably with assistance from P IERRE REM Y, describes
the fossils, artwork and books. The Dávila catalog
(as it has become known) describes 8,096 mineral
specimens that encompass a large range of localities,
including a suite of specimens from Potosí in Spanish
America. In addition, the catalog lists 5,253 shells, 600
preserved animals, 101 plants, 3,915 fossils, 154 bezoars
and calculi, and 402 books. Over 12,000 prints and
engravings, 1,741 original artworks, 441 maps, as well
as various scientific instruments and precious stones are
also described. Thus Dávila's collection was certainly
one of the largest ever formed, and a major auction
event of the 18th century.
The published catalog provides a detailed insight
into his collection, his special tastes and preferences.
The major value of the collection lay in its superb
mineral specimens, many of which were finely
crystallized examples. Rome de l'Isle fully described
the many fine mineralogical specimens, which included
examples of native silver from Norway, cassiterite
from the Dutch East Indies, crocoite from Siberia,
pyrite from Columbia, and calcite from Saxony, etc.
Dávila had been a collector for over 20 years when
his accumulation was auctioned. In that time, he or
his agents had acquired specimens at other auctions,
including those that liquidated the collections of
ALBERTUS Seba in 1752, the Abbé Joly de Fleury in
1755, Claude Geoffroy in 1753 and others. Dávila's
catalog received wide distribution in Paris, London,
Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Basle. This helped push
the total realized by Dávila to over 800,000 Spanish
reales, more than enough to pay of his creditors, and
to finance a second collection, which he immediately
began to build. Within two or three years he had again
amassed a sizable collection, specializing in minerals,
and selected with more knowledge and experience than
his first collection had been. Once again he dreamed
of establishing the cabinet in Madrid. In October 1771
this became reality when King Carlos III agreed to take
over his collections, with Dávila serving as director for
life. This enormous collection eventually passed into
the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid,
where Dávila's specimens are still preserved today.

DELAFOSSE, Gabriel. (BORN: San Quentin, France,
24 February 1796; DIED: Paris, France, 13 October
1878) French mineralogist, geologist & chemist.
However, Gabriel Delafosse (1796-1878) , not
stopping with the only numerical data, considers that their
chemical composition should be studied. It thus defines
Che difference between the "integral molecule" (molecule)
and the "chemical molecule" (atom) of the crystals. By
seeking the provision of the atoms inside the physical
molecule, Delafosse is one of the first, in mineralogy,
to apply the atomic theory. From this study on the
chemical composition of minerals result from many work
on the conditions of crystallization. Thus isomorphism
and polymorphism with Eilhardt Mitscherlich (1794-1863)
will be discovered , then will appear the concepts of
dimorphism, homeomorphism, etc.

VERY SCARCE. One of Delamétherie's major
works, which enjoyed considerable popularity during
his lifetime in spite of its ultra-Neptunian theories.
Théorie de la Terre covers all aspects of the author's
cosmological theory, with respect to the earth. A
firm believer in Wernerian theory, he postulates that
all things including living organisms were originally
crystallized from a liquid medium. He also believed that
the broad features of the earth's surface like mountains
and ocean basins were caused by the action of irregular

crystallizations deep with in the earth, moving water
and the planetary motion of the earth. Erosion, he
thought, played no significant role in geological history,
and no major alterations to the crust had occurred
since the main valleys and mountains were created
by a primordial crystallization process. Despite these
theories, Delamétherie had a wide influence among his
contemporaries. If the refusal of the author to accept
the significant role erosion plays in shaping the earth
has lessened his reputation to historians of geology, he
was innovative in his idea about evolution, speculating
that man was a kind of monkey improved by social
state.
The text of volume one is mostly mineralogical
in character with discussions about the crystallization
from fire of various substances, including the earths,
airs, waters, ores, salts, stones, and precious stones.
The general form of the earth is speculated on, as is the
nature of electricity, magnetism, and light. Volume two
could be considered an early volume on petrology, and
includes discussions about various rock types including
porphyrite, breccia, obsidian, lava, amber, coal, fossils,
gypsum deposits, granite, as well as theories about
volcanoes, rivers, seas and oceans. Volume three draws
conclusions from the first two volumes and presents
Delamétherie's overall theory.

Forster providing a commentary on ideas presented in
Delamétherie's work.
Johann Reinhold Forster. (BORN: Dirschau, Germany,
22 October 1729; DIED: Halle/Saale, Germany, 9 December
1798) German naturalist of Scottish heritage. Father of the
renowned naturalist Johann Georg Adam Forster [1754-
1794], Johann Reinhold was a man of great scientific
attainments, but an intractable temper. Commissioned
by empress Catherine to survey the Russian colonies of
Saratov province, Forster quarreled with the government
and left with his family for England. There he obtained
a position as instructor of natural history and modern
languages at the nonconformist academy at Warrington.
His temper soon compelled him to resign this appointment,
and was forced for several years to earn a living publishing
translations. An invitation to accompany Captain Cook
on his third voyage around the world was accepted on
the condition that his son, Johann Georg Adam be his
assistant. The account of these travels was published by the
son as A Voyage round the World (London, 1777; German,
Berlin, 1778-80), which is considered the "first example of
the glowing yet faithful description of natural phenomena
which has since made a knowledge of them the common

Des Cloizeaux
DES CLOIZEAUX, Alfred-Louis-Olivier Legrand.
(BORN: Beauvais, France, 17 October 1817; DlED:
Paris, France, 6 May 1897) French mineralogist &
crystallographer.
Des Cloizeaux was born into a family with a long
tradition in the legal profession. He studied at the Lycée
Charlemagne in Paris where he came under the influence
of A. LEVY. This association introduced Des Cloizeaux
to the study of minerals and crystals, and influenced
his attendance of courses on mineralogy taught by A.
Brongniart at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle and A.
DUFRÉNOY at the École des Mines. A friendship with Jean-
Baptiste Biot [1774-1862], gave Des Closieaux the chance
to become a member of a government sponsored expedition
to Iceland to visit the sources of Iceland spar. During this
trip, he visited many English geologists and mineralogists.
In 1876, he was made professor of mineralogy at the
Muséum, replacing G. Delafosse, who he had assisted
since 1873. Des Cloizeaux remained at the Muséum until
1892. He made major studies in the optical properties
of minerals, particularly the chondrodites, zoisite and
rhombic pyroxenes and amphiboles.

printed on 42 leaves, and showing 514 figures.
PLATES: The forty plates contained in the text
volumes consist of stereo net projections of various crystal
forms of the mineral species. None are signed. The unsigned
plates of the atlas are numbered I— LXXXIV. The first
shows a polarizing microscope and crystal diagrams, while
the remaining plates illustrate crystal drawings of various
mineral species described within the text. The plates of the
atlas are printed on both sides of the leave.
RARE. An ambitious work that attempts to
give a comprehensive view of the internal structure
of minerals through the use of optical properties.
Des Cloizeaux was an expert practioner in mineral
optics, and his original plan had been a simple
translation of HENRY James Br.OOKE and WILLIAM
Hallowes Miller's edition of William Phillip's
An Elementary Introduction to Mineralogy (6th ed.,
London, 1852). However the project grew much more
complex as Des Cloizeaux augmented the text with
his own copious observations on the crystallography
and optical characteristics of the species. A large
portion of this augmentation involved his attempt to
firmly establish the optical properties for all known
crystalizing minerals. Although the task was to large
for him alone to complete, he was able to assemble
parameters for over 500 substances, or about half of the
mineral species known at the time. In the process, he
was conclusively able to show some supposed species to
be mere varieties and to discredit many other minerals
as identical to species previously described. This
research is included in mineralogical descriptions of the
Manuel de Minéralogie. For a period, Des Cloizeaux's
adoption of the crystallographic notation invented by
René Just Haüy and enlarged by Armand Levy was
copied in other French crystallographic works; however,
Miller's notation eventually prevailed. Although the

author worked on this book for over thirty-five years,
this book was never totally completed, with only the
two volumes described being published. He was among
the first investigators to recognize the utility of the
polarizing microscope for mineral analysis.

VERY SCARCE. This is the last and most
comprehensive work in a series of studies Des Cloizeaux
published concerning the effect of heat on natural
and artificial crystalline bodies. He discovered that
sustained heating at a certain temperature would
permanently alter the positions of the optic axes
of certain crystals (notably the orthoclase minerals),
thereby giving the geologist a method to determine if
a certain rock had been subjected to high temperature
deformation. It was published as, Institute Impérial de
France, Mémoires, vol. 18.

DEZALLIER D'ARGENVILLE, Antoine Joseph.
(BORN: Paris, France, 4 July 1680; DlED: Paris, France,
29 November 1765) French naturalist.
Dezallier was born the son of a prosperous Paris
bookseller. He studied at the College du Plessis, and
from 1713 to '16 in Italy. After his return to France,
he purchased the post of secretary to the King, and
became Maitre des Comptes in 1733 and counselor to
the King in 1748. In 1716, he settled in Paris where he
acquired a reputation as an expert collector of objects of
art and curiosities of nature. Further travels to Germany,
Holland, and England widened his circle of acquaintance
and enlarged his collection of objects. Besides his works
in natural history, D'Argenville is most well-known for his
work on the life of artists, Abrégé de la Vie des plus Fameux
Peintres (Paris, 1745-52, 1762). Dezallier became member
of the Société Royale des Sciences de Montpellier in 1740, of
the Royal Society of London in 1750, and of the Académie
de La Rochelle in 1758.

SCARCE. An impressive compilation of 18th century
mineral knowledge. Dezallier's introduction provides a
critical review of past authors and their books. This is
followed by a précis of his mineralogical system that gives
a tabular arrangement of minerals, stones and precious
gems, that is immediately followed by a detailed discussion
of the classification. Dezallier recognized three classes
of minerals: Terres (earths), Pierres (stones), and all
others. Within each, groupings are differentiated primarily
by physical properties such as color, form, weight, etc.
The author claims this method was new because it
follows the natural and apparent qualities of the species
it distributes; however, its principles were set forth by
several predecessors, the earliest of whom was AGRÍCOLA.
A final section provides an excellent and detailed account
of the mineralogy of France. Accompanying and scattered
throughout the text are 26 finely engraved plates. These
illustrations that rank among the best natural history
engravings of the 18th century show minerals, stones,
fossils, coral, birds and fish.
L'Histoire Naturelle was first printed in 1742, in
a single volume that dealt with both mineralogy and
conchology; however, in later editions, these two subjects
were split into individual books, revised and expanded,
and issued as independent works. Therefore, the second,
third and fourth editions of the volume concerning minerals
and petrifaction's appeared respectively in this second
edition of 1755, 1760 and 1775, and the part dealing with
conchology had second and third editions in 1757 and 1780.

History of
DlOSCORIDES
DlOSCORIDES, Pedacius. Greek botanist.
According to tradition, Dioscorides from the Greek
city of Anazarbus, studied botany in Tarsus in Asia
Minor. He appears to have been a physician to the Roman
military, and had wide practical experience in pharmacy
and medicine. He traveled extensively through the regions
surrounding the Mediterranean. Around the year A.D. 65
he composed in Greek a treatise on medicinal substances
that was to have a profound influence in the history of
medicine. The treatise became the basis of subsequent
books on materia medica for centuries. The treatise
consisted of five books, to which two books (on poisonous
plants and animals) was later added and falsely attributed
to Dioscorides.

the most important classical work on medicines
derived from animal, vegetable and mineral sources.
Dioscorides, a Greek, lived in the age of Claudius
and Nero about the middle of the first century.
A botanist, military physician and pharmacologist
of wide personal experience, he wrote in Greek an
encyclopedia of Materia Medica in five books (| X
Xj( x), which embodied all his knowledge of pharmacy
and applied botany in a better arrangement and more
completeness than earlier compilations. Dioscorides
descriptions cover more than 600 plants, 35 animals
and in Book V 90 minerals, with explanations on their
pharmaceutical preparation and medical properties.
This work remained authoritative for over fifteen
centuries through numerous manuscript copies and
Middle Age translations into Latin, Armenian and
Arabic. Many of the preserved manuscript copies are

De Materia Medica, 1478
richly illustrated with fine paintings of plants and other
medical substances. Occasionally, especially in 13th-
century Baghdad, manuscripts also included paintings
of physicians preparing the medicinals. With the advent
of printing it became a popular and standard desk
reference for the physician and the laymen alike, with
many different editions appearing to modern times.
So many editions and issues in fact appeared that
Dioscorides single work could be the subject of a
substantial bibliography by itself.
Other editions & translations: Dioscorides who had
always been a popular authority, was printed twice in
the fifteenth century. The first of these appearances was
the Latin editio princeps printed from the translation
with commentary prepared by Peter of Abano [cl250-
1316]. It was printed in 1478 by John of Medemblick
at Colle di Val d'Eisa, located in the province of Siena
about thirty miles south of Florence. This translation
and commentary appeared again at Lyons in 1512, but
subsequently were succeeded by two new Latin translations
made directly from the Greek. These were published in
1516 in Venice and Paris, the first prepared by Ermolao
Bárbaro [1454-1495], who added a commentary entitled
Corollarium and the second done by Jean Ruel [cl447-
1537]. Between 1478 and 1600 there were thirty-six
Latin commentaries involving ninety-six separate printings.
During this same time, forty-three separate books were
rendered in translation to the modern languages of Italian,
French, German, Czech, Spanish, Dutch, English, and
Arabic. The second appearance of Dioscorides during the
incunabula period was a Greek edition published at Aldus
press in July 1499. During the next century five more
editions of the Greek text appeared. These statistics reflect
only the direct impact. If the imitators of Dioscorides or
those who based part of their work on his work are included,
hundreds of additional titles could be included.

VERY RARE. Preface by Antoine de Toledo. Second
edition of the translation in alphabetical order attributed
to Constantinus Africanus, with the commentary of Petrus
de Abano, used for the first printed edition of Dioscorides
printed by Johannes de Medemblick in Colle di Val
d'Eisa in 1478. Considering the overwhelming dominance
over pre-Renaissance herbal writings of the Dioscordean
corpus of medicinal plants and "associative" classification
of plants by similarities of form or medicinal application
(cf. Grolier/Norman, pp. 18-19), it is surprising that
Medemblick's edition and the Aldine edino prineeps (1499)
were the only editions of the text to appear in the fifteenth
century and that the first illustrated edition did not appear
until 1543. The first Latin translation of Dioscorides,
which followed his original non-alphabetic arrangement, is
thought to date back to the sixth century or earlier. The
present translation, ascribed in a 13th century Bamberg
manuscript to Constantine the African (d. 1087) is a
reworking of this early Latin version, with the entries
rearranged in serni alphabetical order (by first letter only)
and some material discarded, and with approximately a
third of the text taken from other Latin, Greek and
Arabic sources. Peter of Abano 's glosses were added in the
fourteenth century. This medieval translation was soon
to be superseded by the Latin translations of Errnolao
Bárbaro and Jean Ruel, both first published in 1516,
and both of which returned to the original Dioscordean
text, with its explicit rejection of alphabetical order as
antithetical to the proper understanding of the particular
qualities and applications of plants.

First Edition of Barbaro"s commentary. Dioscorides
was a Greek physician who lived in the first century of the
Christian era. He became a military surgeon under the
Roman Emperor Nero and was a contemporary of Pliny.
He wrote De Materia Medica (about 77 A.D.) which gave
medicinal properties and some botanical information for
about 600 plants. For about 1500 years, it was the supreme
authority due to the practical nature of its contents,
and it has been called the "most successful botanical
textbook ever written." Dioscorides was believed to have
had his medical training in Alexandria. He traveled widely
and made observations on plants from the standpoint of
their medical uses. He described roots, stems, leaves
and sometimes flowers.. For centuries no drug plant was
considered genuine unless it could be identified by the
descriptions given by Dioscorides. " Errnolao Bárbaro
(1454Ñ1493), Italian humanist scholar, was born at Venice
on the 21st of May 1454. At an early age he was sent
to Rome, where he studied under Pomponius Laetus.
He completed his education at the university of Padua,
where he was appointed professor of philosophy in 1477.
"Errnolao Bárbaro was a humanist of the first generation:
not only did he translate several Greek texts into Latin
imitating CiceroOs prose, but also, before translating a
text, he gathered as many manuscripts as possible to
check the text, avoiding the mistakes provoked by manual
copying. At the same time, Bárbaro commented on the
classical texts of the Naturalis Historia by Pliny and the De
Materia Medica by Dioscorides. Like his contemporaries,
he compared the two works and noticed that they present
similar data." Marcello Vergilio "There was extraordinary
charm in this man" s winning expression and cultivated
speech and, when he was lecturing to his young pupils
from the platform or speaking to a group of listeners, he
displayed a wide learning remarkable from its very variety.
Moreover, he served the state as Chancellor, an office which
Aretino and Poggio had held before him, and, when he
had the leisure, he was accustomed to devote it to a third
occupation. For at the urgent request of the Medici he had
undertaken to translate all Dioscorides and he hoped to win
from this task no mean glory, since from early youth he had
toiled with most painstaking industry at the very difficult
subject of botany. " VD 16 D 1998 & В 349. Adams D655.

"Ruelle was one of the earliest French botanists. ..He
was of importance especially for this translation of Diosko-
rides." [Hunt] "If to have written the most serviceable book
of botany that the world of learning knew of during siix-
teen centuries were the best title to botanical greatness,
to Dioskorides would readily be concorded the absolute
supremacy over al other botanists, not only of antiquity
but for all time. ..One may fairly say that the greater part
of all the new botanical matter published during the whole
of the 16th century, and a part of the 17th, came out in
the form of annotations upon the text of Dioskorides." [E.

and Gessner's Herbarum nomenclaturae. Dioscorides' book
served as a basis and inspiration for Western botanists,
whose commentaries and observations often amplified,

qualified, or sometimes opposed Dioscorides' teachings.
'Until well into the seventeenth century ... all botanical
studies were based on this book, and the greater part of
any new botanical matter published in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries was in the form of a commentary on
Dioscorides' (Printing and the mind of man). Already in
1543 (the same printer; 595 woodcuts) Ryff had edited Jean
Ruel's standard translation (first, 1516), which was con-
sidered the most reliable over the following four centuries,
together with commentaries by Lonicer, and Ryff himself.
Valerius Cordus 'had wrought out more results than had
his older contemporaries Brunfels, Tragus, and Fuchs com-
bined. In his repeated journeyings to the great forests and
wildest mountain districts, it is estimated that he discov-
ered several hundred new plants ... Cordus took his degree
in medicine at the University of Wittemberg [1531], and
there shortly after gave regular lectures on Dioscorides, and
with such marked acceptance that to the audience of med-
ical students certain professors joined themselves ... The
Annotations on Dioscorides [pp 449-533], being a kind of
abstract of his Wittemberg lectures, were not published
until five years after his death [in 1544], and were never
prepared for the press by Cordus himself; perhaps not
even so much as once written down by him at any time,
for the printer's copy, when it came to the printing, con-
sisted of the notes of a student who had been his audi-
tor, whose notebook was found available' (Greene, Land-
marks of Botanical Science p 370). In these Wittemberg
lecture notes Cordus adds many details to Dioscorides' de-
scriptions, distinguishes between variants and their differ-
ent habitats, and points out errors in the ancient botanical
and pharmacological literature, frequently referring to his
own, and sometimes to his father's observations. Having
discovered and described many species for the first time in
the Historia plantarurn, of which the first four books seem
to have been completed by 1540 (printed first in 1561),
Greene calls Cordus 'the first in all history to have formu-
lated for himself a definitive plan or model of botanical de-
scription ... The boldest innovation that was made by any
botanist of the whole sixteenth century, in whatever part
of Europe, was that of Valerius Cordus when he proceeded
to describe anew, and according to his own phytographic
scheme, some of the best-known and even best-described
plants of Dioscorides' (pp. 375-6). In 1534 Valerius' fa-
ther, Euricius, had published the 'Botanologicon, [which]
is generally considered to be the first attempt at a scien-
tific systematization of plants' (DSB). The index of this
groundbreaking work is printed here, on pages 534 to 541,
for the first time. Gessner's Nomenclature (starting on p
541) clarifies obscure plant names used by Dioscorides by
giving their synonyms used in other texts. 'Gessner's ap-
pendix Herbarum nomenclaturae which contained names
of plants according to Dioscorides was added because ...
[Dioscorides' work] had by then become known as a botani-
cal reference work' (Wellisch). The majority of illustrations
in this edition are taken from Rösslin's herbal; about 200
are from Fuchs. The depictions of kitchen and pharmaceu-
tical utensils, foodstuffs and processed materia medica are
modelled on those of sixteenth-century Regimens.

VERY SCARCE. First Edition prepared by Jacques
Goupyl. It is based on Paris manuscripts with
scholia. "Diese Ausgabe wird wegen guten Textes,
Correctheit, netter und bequemer Ausstattung sehr
geschätzt" (Ghoulant). "For fifteen hundred years, the
writings of Dioscorides - were regarded as the ultimate
authority on materia medica. Dioscorides described more
than six hundred plants - was the first to write about
its [opium's] virtues, to point out its great benefits
in the relief of pain, insomnia, and chronic cough -
the first to describe the medicinal usefulness of aloes,
ammoniac, aconite, and ginger - HE WAS THE FIRST
TO STATE THE NEED FOR TESTING THE PURITY
OF DRUGS - DIOSCORIDES RECOGNIZED FAMILY
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PLANTS SEVENTEEN
CENTURIES BEFORE LINN^US - The revival of the
teachings of Dioscorides during the Renaissance laid the
foundations for scientic botany and pharmacy" (Notable
Medical Books p. 21). Physician Jean Ruel's Latin
translation parallels the complete Greek text, which was
printed once more in the 16th century and not again until
1829. Undoubtedly of interest to courtiers, BOOK VI

RARE. At the beginning of the nineteenth century,
there was a debate concerning the origins of meteorites.
Many believed they were developed in the earth's upper
atmosphere through some unknown process, while a
minority supposed they originated outside the earth's
atmosphere. In this monograph, Diruf supports the
theory of formation in the earth's atmosphere, referring
to meteorites as "Luftsteine" (=air- stones).

Dobson married in Scotland but emigrated to the
United States in the spring of 1784. He opened a bookshop
in Philadelphia in 1785 and was soon established as one of
the leading dealers of medical, professional and scientific
books in the United States. In the post Revolutionary
period he was noted for printing America editions of recent
British publications. To sell his merchandise, he cultivated
close relationships with the local scientific societies and the
faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where Dobson
met many potential customers. Several set backs through
the years caused his business to fail and for Dobson to die
in obscurity.

Doelter's father emigrated to Puerto Rico where he
married his mother, a wealthy plantation owner. With his
mother he moved to Karlsruhe, Baden in 1855, entering the
lyceum in 1860. He studied chemistry, physics, mineralogy
and geology at the University of Freiburg in Breisgau and
at Heidelberg. In 1876, Doelter was appointed assistant
professor of mineralogy and petrology at the University
of Graz. He was named full professor in 1883. He
succeeded G. TSCHERMAK at the University of Vienna in
1911. Through his work in physical-chemical mineralogy,
he is considered one of the founders of modern petrology.

he presents basic ideas and gives numerous examples
that illustrate the application of chemistry to mineral
science. Allgemeine chemische Mineralogie collects
together all facts pertaining to chemical mineralogy
and presents the information in a logical order. After
a discussion of crystal structure and its relation
to chemistry and isomorphism, simple methods of
chemical analysis are described. Then the author
presents the subject of mineral synthesis in a lengthy
section. He defines his terminology carefully and
carries it forward in his text. He divides the synthesis
into two parts: recrystallization of mineral substances
already prepared, and production of minerals and
their crystallization. Under each are given practical
methods, followed by brief comments on the results of
experimentation. Nearly every synthesis that had been
published up to the time may be traced with the aid
of this book. The last sections of the volume deal with
chemical changes affected by temperature, the action
of solvents, the forms of minerals in nature, and the
chemical constitution of minerals.

SCARCE. A pioneering textbook covering physical
and chemical mineralogy. Along with J.H.L. Vogt,
Doelter is credited with cofounding a new discipline
which can be directly traced to the modern day
studies of geochemistry and to a lesser extent petrology.
Topics of the volume include cystal structure, size
of crystal molecules, polymorphism, isomorphism,
relationship between chemistry and crystallography,
and the relationship between a mineral's hardness and
its chemistry.

RARE, especially in complete sets. One of the
great compilations in mineralogy, this work published
over the course of twenty years included chemical-
mineralogical descriptions from many collaborators, but
Doelter authored about half of the material. Originally
the work was intended to be completed by 1914 in two
or three volumes, but the good reception of the first
sections and the large number of new mineral species
discovered during its publication, caused the Handbuch
der Mineralchernie to balloon. The series' focus was on
the chemistry of the minerals with little attention paid
the natural occurrences of the species, and although of
interest to mineralogists it is actually more important
as a compilation in the early history of geochemistry
studies. Each volume has its own author and subject
index, while the final volume contains a general index
to the complete work. H. Leitmeier became a coeditor
in 1925 and after Doelter's death full editor on the last
volume.

RARE. Compiled by Dionysius van de Wijnpersse
and Sebald J. Brugmans. This is a sales catalog of
the large collection of natural history specimens and
minerals formed by the Dutch gynecologist Wouter
van Doeveren, together with smaller collections of
surgical and scientific instruments. It lists items sold at
public auction on April 18, 1785 and subsequent days,
and includes upwards of 500 specimens of mammals,
amphibia, insects, etc., 2,660 specimens of minerals, 58
lots of obstetric, ophthalmological and other surgical
instruments, and 114 lots of various objects including
scientific apparatus. The 4-page introduction by
Dionysius van de Wijnpersse deals with the collection
of minerals, by far the richest of the selections. Engel
records that some of these minerals went to the
University of Leiden.

DOLOMIEU, Dieudonné Sylvain Guy Tancrède.
(BORN: La Tour-Du-Pin, France, 23 June 1750; DlED:
16 November 1801) French mineralogist.
DOLOMIEU
Dolomieu was born to aristocratic French parents on
June 24, 1750. His father got him inducted into the Order
of Malta at age 2 and enlisted in the army at the age of
4. By 16, he was a second lieutenant and shipping out
with the Order of Malta. In 1768 he killed a man in
a duel and was sentenced to life in prison. Intercession
on the part of government officials and the Pope gained
his release to a regiment at Metz. Dolomieu learned the
natural sciences from a pharmacist there and fell in love
with his daughter, Mademoiselle Thyrion. By the late
1770s, Dolomieu had published some essays and established
himself as a mineralogist and geologist. He resigned from
the military in 1779, aged 29.
In the 1780s, Dolomieu traveled extensively in Spain,
Sicily, Italy, and France. He became an authority on
volcanism and his 1788-1789 expedition in the Trentino
and Tyrol districts resulted in naming of the particular
type of rock found in this region dolomite. Dolomieu's
life was a little different from the average MIT geologist's,
though. In 1786 he wrote "Every moment that is not spent
in the company of the most loving of women is spent at the
Laboratory of Natural Science."
In 1797, Dolomieu sailed for Egypt with Bonaparte.
In failing health, he left Alexandria in 1799 to return to
France. A storm forced the boat into port at Taranto
(in the south of Italy) which happened to be part of the
Kingdom of Two Sicilies, with which France was at war.
The prevailing state of hostilities landed Dolomieu in prison
for 21 months, during which he was mistreated due to
a denunciation by angry rivals in the Order of Malta.
Bonaparte's victory over the Court of Naples in Feburary
1801 finally resulted in Dolomieu's freedom and return to
Paris. He died on November 28, 1801 of a "putrid fever."

Lipari Islands in southern Italy. This account of the
volcanic activity in the Lipari Islands was, with his
other volcanic researches, 'a worthy continuation' of
Sir William Hamilton's work. Unlike his predecessors,
Dolomieu did not confine himself to describing the
superficial aspects of volcanic mountains and their
eruption but studied lavas, loose ejecta, sublimations,
etc., and compared these volcanic products with other
rocks. He showed that all transitional stages exist
between the coarsely crystalline lavas and the glassy
rocks and confirmed the igneous origin of basalt. The
Dolomites are named after him (Zittel pp. 96-97).

Rare. This book, Dolomieu's last, examines the
defects in previously published mineral classification
systems and attempts to define the direction mineralogy
should take to frame a correct system. When it was
written, practical mineralogy was distinguished from
philosophical mineralogy. The latter term as used in
the title of this work refers to the investigation of
mineralogical properties such that general truths about
all minerals may be deduced.
After a short introduction, in which the
philosophy of mineralogy is defined, Dolornieu considers
in this work the nature, concept and definition of
"mineral species." In the text he reflects upon
the pervailing knowledge and theories, and discusses
mineralogical species in general, why do species exist,
the chemical makeup of minerals, what represents a
mineral species, what modifies a species, the properties
of minerals, analogsto mineral species, the classification
of mineral species, improper mineralogical species and
Dolomieu's definition of a mineral species.

DOMEYKO, Ignacio. (BORN: Niedzwiadka, Near
Nowogrodck, Poland, 31 July 1802; DlED: Santiago,
Chile, 23 January 1889) Polish mineralogist &
naturalist.
Domekyo's original Polish name was Zegota Dornejko.
He studied natural history at the University of Wilno
from 1817 to 1822; however, after taking part in a Polish
insurrection against the Russian authorities, he was obliged
in 1831 to emigrate to France. There he continued his
education at the Sorbonne under Jean Dumas [1800-1884]
and F.S. Beudant and at the École des Mines under
O.P. A. P. DUFRENOY and Jean Elié de Beaumont [1798-
1874]. He was appointed professor of chemistry and
mineralogy at the college in Coquimbo, Chile in 1838.
Then in 1846 he accepted an appointment to the University
of Santiago, 1846, rising to the position of University
Chancellor in 1867. He made many excursions throughout
South America studying natural history and mineralogy.

VERY SCARCE. Since the appearance of the second
edition of Domeyko's Mineralojia, six appendixes and
numerous articles had appeared to keep the work up
to date. At the time, this was the best authority on
the mineralogy of Chile, Peru, Bolivia and portions of
Argentina, and when this edition became available it
was immediately recognized as a major work. It is
written as a textbook with the preliminaries covering the
basic definitions, morphological crystallography, fracture,
cleavage, texture, color, and chemical characters. The
second part of the work is a standard descriptive
mineralogy, arranged on the four classes of (1) metals, (2)
minerals with no contained metals, (3) silicates and (4)
combustibles. The text incorporates a large number of
new facts, due mostly to the labors of the author himself.

first volume was ever issued; however, see the next
entry. Otherwise this monumental work is a remarkable
and largely unkown book that has a comprehensive
description of the principal minerals and geology of
Chile, Bolivia, Peru and several provinces of Argentina.
The first two volumes concern mineralogy and act as a
general text book on the science, together with a long
descriptive mineralogy. Here the various mineral species
known to occur in these region of South America are
given together with physical and chemical details and
notes on their localities. Volumes four and five treat
methods of assaying and the geology of the region.

some attack from Jesuits of Venice - much marginal part

VERY RARE. This is Drapiez' classification
scheme for ores and minerals. The preliminary text
briefly describes physical and chemical properties before
reviewing previous methods of mineral classification.
This is followed by a discussion of the physical
characteristics, such as elasticity, ductility, electrical
and magnetic properties that can be used to classify
minerals and ores. Drapiez then employs Lamarck's
tabular method to mineralogy by segregating the
mineral species into a series of ten very large (67 x
55 cm), double page tables. The tables are: (a)
Distribution des Minéraux selon Haüy, (b) Tableau
Analytique des Minéraux, Substances Acidifères, (c)
Substances Terreuses, (d) Substances Combustibles
non Métalliques, (e) Substances Métalliques, consisting
of three tables, and three Appendices. Throughout
Drapiez uses Haüy's classification system as a
foundation.
Other issues fc editions: Cole (1988) believes that the
work went "through a number of éditons." They are most
likely reissues of the original text. They include, Paris,

RARE. A remarkable catalog of a large and famous
collection of minerals, fossils, gems, rocks and objects
made from stone. Based on the text, Dreé divided
his museum into eight collections dealing with: I.
Mineralogy. II. Rocks and Stones, including meteorites.
III. Products of Volcanoes, such as lava, basalt and
other ejecta. IV. Fossilized Organic Bodies. V. Rocks,
Stones and ornamental plaques made of stone, including
jades, marbles, alabaster, malachite and hematite. VI.
Precious Gems. VII. Engraved Stones and Agates.
VIII. Monuments and Statues carved in stone. Through
out the text, Drée has added a good commentary that
enhances the specimen descriptions. The supplemental
material at the end describes the latest additions to
his collection including precious stones, engraved agates
and monuments. The twelve fine plates by the designer
La Guiché and engraved by Lecerf illustrate some
of the better specimens from the collection including
faceted gems, a fine dendritic agate, engraved gems
and other ornamental objects. Over the years through
auctions Drée sold off various sections of his museum;
however, the mineral collection consisting of about
15,000 specimens was ultimately acquired en bloc by the
Musée de Minéralogie de l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure
des Mines in Paris in 1845.

VERY SCARCE, published in an edition of 250
examples. This is a comprehensive, classified catalog
of JOSEPH Banks' extraordinary library of natural
history works. Each of the first four volumes
is devoted to a specific discipline: (1) general
writings, including works on museums, (2) zoology, (3)
botany, and (4) mineralogy. While the last volume
contains supplemental titles to the four volumes and a
comprehensive author index to the set. A particularly
interesting fact about this fine library is that it was
acquired by the British Museum en bloc, and the
individual titles can still be examined there.

RARE. Poczatki Mineralogii is probably the
first textbook concerning mineralogy in the Polish
language. It was written out of necessity to accompany
the author's mineralogical course at the University of
Wilna, there being no other suitable text in Polish.
The volume closely follows Wernerian principals
by first discussing Oryctognosy or the physical
characters of minerals, followed by relatively detailed
descriptions of the minerals. A section on Geognosy is
appended. The work finishes with Polish and Russian
indexes to the minerals mentioned.

and various aspects of mineralogy and palaeontology,
including salt, coal, metals, and various gems. Although
written for the general public, it is a valuable scientific
contribution for its comparisions of mid- seventeenth
century theories to the ancient explanations of minerals.

RARE. A beautifully produced catalog of the
important collection brought together by Father Claude
du Molinet as an annex to the library of the abbey
of Sainte-Geneviève in Paris. In his preface, Du
Molinet writes that his guiding principle in building the
collection of rare and curious objects was the should
'be utilized in science, mathematics, astronomy, optics,
surveying, natural history.' The collection was boosted
by the acquisition of the greater portion of Fabri de
Peiresc's [see note below] collection which consequently
propelled du Molinet's effort into the first ranks of
French collections.
Du Molinet divided the collection into two main
sections, Antiquities and Natural History. The first
is divided into those objects relating to (a) Christian
religion, (b) the religion of the Egyptians and Romans,
(c) the rites of burial, (d) Roman weights and measures.
Coins, medals, engraved gems, talismans, and lamps
then followed. The Natural History was divided into
birds, animals, fish, fruits, plants, shells, stones and
minerals.
The physical arrangement of the collection is
carefully recounted in this catalog. Facing the entrance
was a display of clothes and weapons from Persia, India
and America, above which were three tiers of urns,
lamps, nautical instruments, and other antiquities.
Flanking this were two cabinets with specimens of
petrifications, Indian birds, animals and footwear
from various locations. Above were objects from
China, various corals and other marine growths. The
other sides of the room contained walnut cabinets
containing the medal collection, which included Greek,
Roman, Hebrew silver coins, papal medals, talismans
and coins from far east countries. Other cabinets
housed scientific instruments, precious and semi-

precious stones, minerals, shells, stuffed animals and
preserved fish. Bear spaces on the walls were hung
with paintings, including a series of twenty-two pastel
portraits of the Kings of France. The excellent plates of
Ertinger, illustrate the room that housed the collection
and also two large views of the library's interior, with
a view of the Paris skyline visible through an open
window.
Fabri de Peiresc. (BORN: 1580; DIED: Aix, France,
1637) French scholar & naturalist. Peiresc was a profound
antiquarian who devoted his lifetime to scholarly persuits,
travel, and correspondence with other scholars. He
accumulated a library and collection of antiquities and
natural curiosities from all parts of the world. But it
is recorded that as quickly as many objects came into
his possession he would gift them to other deserving
scholars. For example, Athanasius Kircher records that
many Egyptian items came into the Museum Kircherianium
through Peiresc 's generosity.

Born the son of a goldsmith, Dubuisson was
apprenticed as an apothecary, eventually opening a shop
on rue Quéles in 1788 in his native Nantes. He had an
interest in the natural sciences and collected specimens
of all the minerals, plants and animals he encountered.
Eventually, he gave these important collections to the city
of Nantes. There they constituted a museum of natural
history, which opened to the public on 15 August 1810.
On the occasion, Dubuisson gave a commemerative speech.
He was one of the founders of the Société Académique de
Nantes (Academic Society of Nantes).

paleontological and geological samples found in the
region of the Loire-Inférieure in northwest France.
The specimens described were almost all collected by
Dubuisson on one of his many excursions within France.
In the introduction he describes the terrain encountered
and the best collecting areas. This is followed by a
descriptive catalog of the specimens, including quartz,
calcite, silver minerals, pyromorphite, rnimetite, etc. At
the end is an index of the various mineral synonyms and
at table of contents. A large folding map, accompanying
but not bound into the text, providesan overview of the
region and the various locales from which specimens
originated. The specimens described subsequently
became part of the collections of the Muséum de Nantes

SCARCE. Premier edition with the text dedictated
to Buffon, the celebrated anthropologist and friend of
Voltaire, whose monumental Natural History, published
in 1746 in 36 volumes. In France, in the later eighteenth
century, it was a popular passtime to collect objects of
natural history. Duchesne's Manual helped guide the
collector in his hobby. It is printed in two columns
and contains the Latin and geographical names of all
manner of natural history objects, including minerals.

Scarce. Co-authored with P.-J. Macquer [see note
below] this French natural history encyclopaedia was
intended for voyagers and museum visitors. In the later
part of the eighteenth century the "Cabinet of Curiosity" or
small privately owned museum was flourishing in England
and throughout Europe. During this time an interest in
natural history was fashionable and this type of reference
work would have been essential for the library of the well-
educated European. The text is a good indicator of the
level of understanding and knowledge of natural history at
that time.
Pierre Joseph Macquer.
October 1718; DIED: Paris,
French physician & chemist.
(BORN: Paris, France, 9
France, 15 February 1784)
Macquer was professor of
chemistry at the Jardin du Roi in Paris, as well as the
overseer at the royal porcelain manufacturing plants in
Serves. Macquer wrote several highly regarded textbooks
in chemistry and physics. He was elected a member of the
Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1845.

DUFRENOY, Ours Pierre Armand Petit. (Born:
Sevran, France, 5 September 1742; DlED: Paris, France,
20 March 1857) French mineralogist & geologist.
Dufrénoy studied at the Ecole Polytechnique and
Ecole des Mines in Paris. He was named engineer of mines
in 1818, and assumed the rôle as head of the collections
of the Ecole des Mines. At that same institution, he
was appointed an assistant professor of mineralogy in
1827, becoming a full professor in 1835. In 1846, he was
named director of the school, and in that capacity he was
responsible for modernizing the curriculum. In 1822, under
the supervision of Brochant de ViLLiERS, Dufrénoy and
BEAUMONT were selected by the government to carry out the
necessary field work to prepare the first modern geological
map of France. This research occupied Dufrénoy until 1841
when the map was published. After Brongniart's death
in 1847, he was appointed professor of mineralogy at the
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. He was made a member
of the Académie des Sciences in 1840 and in 1843 the
Geological Society of London presented Dufrénoy and Elie
de Beaumont the Wollaston Medal for their geological map.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored with Léonce Élie
de Beaumont [1798-1874]. This is the first separate
appearance of a publication that appeared as a series
of articles in the Annales des Mines from 1824-27. "In
the year 1820 a copy of Greenough's map of England
and Wales having been sent to the Ecole des Mines
at Paris, the desire arose to provide France with a
similar compendium of its geology. Accordingly, two
engineers of the Mines Department, Beaumont and
Dufrénoy, were, in 1822, sent to England where they
spent six months studying the principles on which the
English map had been constructed, and other subjects
connected with the project." (Geikie) Its publication
exerted a powerful influence on the development of
geology in France.

Course of Mineralogy contains Dufrénoy's lecture notes
used during his mineralogy presentation in 1829 and
1830 at the École des Mines (School of Mines) in
Paris. It is lithographed from a beautifully prepared
manuscript, and it is written in a clear style, allowing
for self study of the subject. There is no title page to

SCARCE. This is an important mineralogical
and crystallographic work in the history of those
sciences. Haüy, gone for over twenty years when these
volumes appeared, no longer dominated the French
school. Chemistry and crystallography had made major
discoveries, making it possible to advance to a more
successful theoretical stage in mineral classification.
New original research was being carried on, as is
evident by the amount of information contained in
these volumes. Here the author describes the effects
of high temperature on minerals and crystals and gives
theories about the structure of crystals, together with
the standard information about the physical characters
of minerals, chemical properties, crystal systems and
systematic mineralogy, in which the author follows a
natural method of classification.
Advances in the chemical composition of mineral
species now allowed Dufrénoy to employ chemistry as a
true means of classification. He uses this classification
because he believes it brings together all observations
made in the science under a single, unified explanation.
However, he believed that using the bases to classify
metals, gave birth to true natural groups in which
there was one common element. For example, all those
of lead, all those of copper, and all those of iron.
On the other hand, silicates were their own distinct
group because hardness, luster and other properties
were similar. Dufrénoy believed then, that classification
by acids should be confined to the silicates.
In the first volume of the text are seven folding
engraved plates, four of which are detailed renderings
of mineralogical instruments: goniometers (Haüy,
Wollaston, Mitscherlich, Adelmann and Babinet), Soleil
refractometer and a Soleil polariscope. The atlas
volume contains over 200 engraved plates showing
more than 1,200 crystal diagrams with references to
Naumann's crystal notation.

practical determination, so for the most part, only
the most common species are listed. To perfect the
text, CHARLES Palache used the manuscript during his
summer course of mineralogy, taught at the University
of California in 1903. The book was popular and widely
used in colleges and universities of The United States,
being reissued many times to at least 1918 with no

EDWARDS, George. (BORN: Stratford, near
Westham, Essex, England, 3 April 1694; DIED:
Westham, Essex, England, 23 April 1773) English-
naturalist.
As a youth, Edwards had access to a large library,
which developed his habit of incessant reading. He traveled
throughout northern Europe, and in 1718 while going
through Norway he was imprisioned by Danish soldiers
who suspected him of spying. After his release, the travels
were continued through France. He returned to England
in 1720, where he began producing colored drawings of
animals that fetched good prices and brought him contact
with influential men of the period. One of thern, Sir Hans
Sloane, recommended Edwards as librarian of the Royal
College of Physicians in 1733. His great work was an
illustrated History of Birds (4 vols., London, 1743-51), for
which the Royal Society awarded him a gold medal and
elected him a fellow.

VERY SCARCE. This monograph was published
from notes found in the author's effects after his
death. It describes slightly over one hundred minerals
in a system claimed to be new, but which is only
a modification of LlNNEAUS' classification plan. In
"To the Reader," Edwards recognizes this treatise to
be imperfect, however he wrote it with the intention
of publishing another edition, "enriched with a great
number, and a more minute account of individual fossils
..." The term fossilogy used in the title of this work is
defined by Edwards as "the knowledge of the different
bodies, which are found in the earth, and which have
neither animal or vegetable origin."
The text begins with a short introduction. This
is followed by the descriptive mineralogy, which is
divided into the six classes: (1) earths, (2) stones,

EGEDE, Hans Poulsen. (BORN: 31 January 1686;
DIED: 5 November 1758) Norwegian theologian.
Egede, a Lutheran missionary, went to Greenland
in 1721 and, with the support of the Danish government,
founded a mission for the Eskimo. He also helped to initiate
trade between Denmark and Greenland. He returned to
Copenhagen in 1736 to become principal of a seminary that
trained missionaries for Greenland. His son, Povel Hansen
also a missionary to Greenland, completed a translation of
the New Testament for use by the Eskimo.

Egleston received his bacholareate and master
degrees from Yale in 1854 and 1857, respectively. For post
graduate work, he traveled to Paris and the Ecole dies Mines
graduating in 1860. Upon returning to America in 1861, he
was appointed superintendant of mineral and metallurgical
products at the Smithsonian Institution. In 1864, Egleston
left the Smithsonian to found the School of Mines at
Columbia college where he remained a professor until 1897.
In his honor the Egleston medal of the Columbia University
School of Engineering was created.

compilation of this dictionary. Names have been added
and changed in the text that the progress of the science
dictated. As far as possible the names of rocks have
been omitted, while the names of authenticated species
are printed in bold. Doubtful species have been printed
in ordinary type. In many instances the first description
of the species or sometimes the best authority have been
listed at the end of the description.

long thought to be inorganic fossils, had a distinctive

with his careful analysis of the mode of growth of
the guard, this structural analogy made the organic
origin of belemnites almost indisputable" (Rudwick).

SCARCE. This is a French translation by de Fontallard
of Versuch einer Schmelzkunst mit Beyhülfe der Fenerluft
(Strassburg, 1786). It embodies Ehrmann's experiments on
fusion, which includes one of the earliest descriptions and
illustrations of the oxygen blowpipe, which would become
important in high temperature study of minerals. Ehrmann
was a correspondent of Lavoisier, who conducted a series of
experiments on the effects of high temperature on various
substances. Lavoisier requested that his own memoirs
on the subject be reprinted together with the translation
of Ehrmann's Essai. De Fontallard compiled and added
them at the end of the book (pp. 235-349) together with
a mémoire by Meusnier that describes and illustrates the
apparatus used by both Lavoisier and Ehrmann in their
expermients (pp. 350-366).
Jean François de Fontallard. French translator. Acted as
translator on several works during the period 1770 to 1790.

EICHWALD, Karl Eduard Ivanovich. (Born:
Jelgava, Latvia, 4 July 1795; DIED: St. Petersburg,
Russia, 16 November 1876) Latvian geologist &
naturalist.
Eichwald (or the Russian Eikhval'd) studied medicine
and natural sciences at the University of Berlin, 1814-
17. Returning to Russia, he served as professor at the
universities of Dorpat (present-day Tartu), 1821, Kazan,
1823, and Wilno (present-day Vilnius), 1829, and the St.
Petersburg Medical-Surgical Academy, 1838-51. During
this last appointment, he also lectured on paleontology
at the St. Petersburg Mining Institute. He made several
extended trips throughout the Urals and western Russia.
Eichwald wrote on many subjects besides mineralogy.
These include geology, paleontology, geography, plants and
animals. In the field of zoology, he discovered many species
new to Russia, and wrote Zoologia Specialis (3 vols., St.
Petersburg, 1829-31), which outlined a classification of
animals based on comparative anatomy, physiology, and
paleontology. He also wrote numerous textbooks for use
in Russia's universities. Eichwald was a corresponding
member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences from
1826.

RARE. In his textbook, Oryctognosy mainly
with Regards to Russia, Eichwald has focused his
descriptions on those mineralogical species found in
the Russian empire. He was able to rely on his
own extensive exploration of the country to write
comprehensively on the subject. Eichwald also
introduces his new mineralogical classification based on
chemistry, which on sound arguments excludes liquids
and gases from mineralogy.

VERY SCARCE. Describes the natural history
collections of the Zwinger Museum at Dresden;
these included mineral, fossil, botanical, anatomical,
zoological, and coral (shell). The author gives a
history of each collection and comments on many of
the highlights of this great museum. The plates show
the floor plan of the museum. The first separate guide
to the Royal natural history collections housed in the
magnificent baroque Zwinger in Dresden, which also
contained the print cabinet. This work was one of
the by-products of August the Strong's reorganization
of the old Wunderkamrner into specialized collections,
and contains an account of the minerals, petrifications,
animal skeletons and specimens, corals and shells. The
final chapter contains a description of a model of
Solomon's temple, constructed over a period of twenty
years from Biblical references by a Hamburg gentleman
named Schott.
The work described here has both the German and
French texts combined. Two other states of the catalog
exist, one consisting solely of the German text, the other
completely in French. Both of these were published in
1755.

EKEBERG, Anders Gustaf. (Born: Stockholm,
Sweden, 16 January 1767; DIED: Uppsala, Sweden, 11
February 1813) Swedish chemist & mineralogist.
Came to Upsala 1784 and studied under, among
others, Thunberg and defended alltogether six thesises in
natural history between 1787 and 1800. He was hired
1799 by the Upsala Academy as a lecturer and laborator
in chemistry. His major contribution to science was the
naming of yttria and the discovery of tantalum. Yttria
was named in a follow up article (KVAH 1797, 156) on
the black mineral gadolinite and the new "earth" described
therein by Johan Gadolin (KVAH 1794). Five years later he
published an article (KVAH 1802, 68) where he compared
yttrium and beryllium (ytterjord vs berylljord), in it he
reports on a new mineral yttrotantal (yttrotantalite) that
apart from yttrium also contains anew metal tantalum. He
was a member of the Royal Swedish academy of Sciences
(1799) as well as the Society of Sciences in Uppsala (1810).
Ekeberg suffered from weak helth and died only 46 years
old. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

Klderhorst was the son of an army officer, and
consequently began his career as a military cadet. He
WH.s released from service, however, due to weak eyesight.
Thereafter, he studied chemistry at the University of
Göttingen. In 1853, Elderhorst emmigrated to The United
States and worked in drugstores in Charleston, South
Carolina and New York City. He also gave private
instruction in chemistry. In 1855, he was appointed
professor of theoretical and practical chemistry at the
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In this capacity, he was
an important insturment in transferring the techniques of
the German chemical school to his American students.

RARE. Besides various examples of mineralogical
specimens, Eller's cabinet contained many samples of
marble from local and foreign locations, gemstones,
semiprecious stones, petrified plants and fruits and
other fossils, earths and stones. Clearly, Eller devoted
a great amount of time and attention to building his
collection.

VERY SCARCE. Enlarged edition, correcting many
mistakes published in the first edition. The author
basically supports Werner's mineralogical theories, but
has modified and added to the descriptions of the
chemical composition of minerals. These revisions came
about principally because of Klaproth's discoveries in the
chemical makeup of minerals.
The Introduction covers topics on the philosophy of
mineral classification, the nomenclature of mineral names,
and a system of external characteristics. The classification
is then presented in a tabular overview followed by the
descriptive mineralogy.

EMMONS, Ebenezer. (Born: Middlefield, Mas-
sachuessetts, U.S.A., 16 May 1799; DlED: Brunswick
County, North Carolina, U.S.A., 1 October 1863) Amer-
ican physician & geologist.
Born the son of a farmer, Emmons attended the
Rensselar Polytechnic Institute. There he became an
assistant of the American geologist Arnos Eaton [1776—
1842]. After graduating in 1826, Emmons opened a medical
practice specializing in obstetrics in Chester, Mass. From
1828 to 1834, he delivered lectures in chemistry at Williams
College. This lead in 1833 to an appointment as professor of
natural history, a position he held until 1859, at which time
Emmons was made professor of geology and mineralogy.
As an author, Emmons wrote on agriculture, geology
and mineralogy. His most important book was Geology
of the Second Geological District, which was issued as
part of Division 4 of the Natural History of New York
(4 vols., Albany, 1842). In this work, Emmons created
the first comprehensive picture of the geology of New
York by devising his own influential system of geological
classification.

VERY SCARCE. After Cleaveland's encyclopedic
Treatise appeared in 1816 and 1822, many people began
[1], [l]-229, [1] p
Contents: [
of New York. ...'
to have an interest in the minerals of the United States,
and from this interest demand arose for a short, simple,
descriptive mineralogy. Although Cleaveland's work
was a comprehensive reference, it was to bulky and
expensive to readily be used as a field guide. Under
these conditions Emmons published his Manual to
favorable response.
The book adopts the classification of MOHS
but substitutes Brooke's system of crystallography.
The individual mineral descriptions are clear and
concise, giving the user ample general information
while stressing known localities in the United States.
Unfortunately use as a textbook undoubtedly caused
many copies of this book to quickly dilapidate making
both this edition and the second rare collectibles.

SCARCE. A thoroughly revised text which is more
useable than the first attempt. In preparing this edition,
Emmons has remodeled its content to facilitate instruction
in the science of minerals. It was his intent to supply the
student with a guide so they could satisfactorily conduct
through the process of examining minerals. To facilitate
this, the text included sufficient information to employ the
characters of minerals substances and to trace the relations
existing between the various species. The classification
system of F. MOHS has like the first edition again been
adopted. For crystallography, the system of H.J. BROOKE
is retained. Emmons has included a few woodcuts to
illustrate the crystalline forms, which was lacking from the
previi .us editii m.
The short introduction provides an overview of the
definition and purpose of mineralogy. A section describing
the terminology used in the crystallographic description
follows. The optical and physical properties of minerals
are reviewed. The theory of classification, nomenclature,
characteristics and a description of physiography precede
the large section devoted to descriptive mineralogy. An
index concludes the work.

WEIGEL. The basis of this work were lectures Engström
delivered in London in 1765. It first appeared in
print as an appendix to An Essay Towards a System
of Mineralogy (1st ed., London, 1770), for which
Engström had acted as the English translator. It
describes Engström's pocket laboratory, blowpipe and
procedured used in the analysis of minerals.
Christian Ehrenfried Weigel. (BORN: Staslund,
Germany, 24 May 1748; DIED: Greifswald, Germany, 8
August 1831) German physician & chemist. Weigel had his
early education at private school in Stralsund. In 1764 he
matriculated at the University of Greifswald. From 1775
onwards, Weigel was professor of botany and chemistry at
the University of Greifswald. He was the inventor of the
counter current cooler (Liebig cooler). Weigel wrote and
translated mostly on chemical subjects.

ENGLISH, George Letchworth. (Born: Philadel-
phia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 14 June 1864; DIED:
Rochester, New York, U.S.A., 1944) American miner-
alogist & mineral dealer.
In 1881, English graduated from the Friends' Central
School in Philadelphia. Having attended the 1876
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, he had become
interested in minerals. In 1887, he opened a mineral
establishment and worked as an independent mineral dealer
until 1903. Due to his expertise in the mineral monzanite,
English was offered a position with the Natural Light
and Thorium Company, where he worked from 1903 to
1913. From 1913 to 1934, he was mineralogist for Ward's
Natural Science Establishment in Rochester, N.Y. For
the last decade of his life, he worked as a consulting
mineralogist. English held memberships in the New
York Mineral Club, the Academy of Natural Sciences,
Philadelphia, Rochester Academy (president, 1919-21),
and the Brooklyn Institute. He discovered the minerals
penfieldite, graftonite, pyroxmangite and skemmatite, and
the mineral species "Englishite" is named in his honor.

FIRST EDITION.
JANUARY, 1888.
Catalogue of Minerals, 1Í
VERY SCARCE. The first catalogue issued by
this famous mineral dealing firm. It covers minerals
for technical and commercial purposes, systematic
collections, collections illustrating blowpipe analysis,
hardness, microscopic study and fusibility. Also
included are price lists for cabinet specimens, and
specimens for Franklin, New Jersey, Colorado, Amelia
Co., Virginia, Canada, North Carolina, Arizona, New
Mexico, California and Europe.
2nd to 14th Editions: Descriptions of the
subsequent separate editions of the Catalogues are
listed below. However, the second through the
fourteenth edition apparently were not published
separately. Instead, between 1888 and 1890, English
paid for their inclusion into issues of the rare
mineralogical periodical, The Exchangers Monthly.
They were published at the end of the issue, and
sometimes, these lists would account for more than half
of the total pages of each issue. Every catalog was
introduced with a title similar to, "Geo. L. English &¿
Co. 's Catalogue." No doubt this financial boon to the
magazine helped the editor Arthur Chamberlain to keep
the venture alive.
George L. English fc Co. American mineral dealing
firm. Founded in 1887 in Philadelphia by George English
in partnership with a fellow Philadelphia mineral collector
Edwin C. Atkinson. They had their shop at 1512 Chester
Street, issuing their first catalog in 1888. By 1890, Geo.
English &Z, Co. had merged with the New York mineral
dealer William Niven [1850-1937] to form perhaps the
greatest mineral dealing firm of the time. The New York
store address was 739 and 741 Broadway, however, by
1891, they had moved a few numbers down and had their
shop at 733 and 735 Broadway. In 1892, English assumed
sole control of the business, moving to new premises
located at 64th East 12th Street in New York about 1893.
Geo. English Äc Co. appears to have remained located
at this last address until the stock was sold to Ward's
Natural History Establishment of Rochester, New York in
1903. English appears to have continued actively dealing
minerals, however, in 1905 he is listed as a dealer in
minerals at 3 and 5 West 18th Street, New York. As a
side note, Atkinson is listed in Philadelphia with a mineral
collection as late as 1905.

VERY SCARCE. From the Introduction: "Mineralogy
has kept pace with allied sciences in the advances of the
past ten or twenty years. The very great increase in the
demand for mineral specimens, and the general centering
of the business in the United States upon our house, have
created a demand for a more elaborate catalogue of our
stock, which we have endeavored in our present issue to
satisfy."
"It is our earnest desire to have an unsullied
reputation for integrity and justice, as we believe that upon
no other basis can a permanent business be built up. The
attention of parties who do not know of our standing is
respectfully called to the list (on the following page) of
distinguished mineralogists who kindly permit us to use
their names for reference."
"The liberal support given us in the past has
eneouraged us to very materially increase our stock as
well as our facilities for promptly filling the large orders
entrusted to us. At the present time we have no hesitation
in claiming that our stock is the largest, finest, most
complete in species, and in every way the best, in the
United States. The recent consolidation of the houses of
George L. English &c Co., of Philadelphia, and William
Niven, of New York, into a new firm to be known as
George L. English &c Co., is already being recognized as
a move to place the mineral buisness in the United States
on the highest plane. It will be the constant aim of the
new firm to keep no poor material, and while our efforts
to secure the choicest of everything often compel us to
buy at much higher prices than are commonly asked, an
examination of our catalogue will show that our prices are
almost invariably as low as or lower than those of other
dealers, while the superiority of our material cannot fail to
be noticed. This is because we study carefully the needs
of all classes of our customers, confine our business wholly
to mineralogy, and secure our material direct, personally,
or by experienced assistants, visiting the localities and
purchasing desirable material in large quantities."

Rare. This is an important work in the study of
systematic mineralogy which complements the writings
of Agrícola and Ercker. The author acknowledges a
debt to Agrícola, but since the work is focused on
the medical uses of metals, stones minerals and gems,
he cites Pliny, Dioscorides and Serapion more often.
He repeats the ancient and medieval traditions and
beliefs with regard to gems, but sometimes regards
the mystical powers as suspicious. Throughout many
German names are provided together with an index
and mention is made of some German mines. Entzelt
is critical of Albertus Magnus for listening to much
to the chemists and censures him for belief in magic,
although he often ascribes powers to stones that are
not far of magical. Entzelt offers recipes for mixing
ink and for making shoe-black. He discusses crystals
used in spyglasses, the superpowers of stones found in
animals, German mining regions, fossils, gemstones and
amber. Throughout, Entzelt has much to say on the
classification and hierarchy of minerals and metals, and
illustrates his theories on numerous schematic charts
and on the three folding leaves that are rarely found
intact. The text is divided into three sections: metals
(pp. 1-72), semi-metals (pp. 73-155) and stones, earths
and gems (pp. 156-271).
Included at the beginning is a strong letter of
commendation from Philip Melanchthon [1497-1560] to
Egenolph, the printer at Frankfurt, dated 19 August
1551, recommending the book to be printed because it
contains material found nowhere else. Since the title
page is undated, this edition is ascribed to publication
in that year. In comparing multiple copies of the 1557
printing to this edition, it has been determined that
the text is from the same sheets in both edition, with
the only differences being on the title page and on
the folding table inserted at page 93. On this table
in the 1551 edition, line 6 from bottom ends "...qvod
Dioscorides uo-" while the same line in the 1557 edition
ends "...qvod Dioscorides."

ERCKER (Erckner, Erckel), Lazuras. (Born:
Annaberg, Saxony, cl530; DIED: Prague, Bohemia?,
1594) German mining expert.
From 1547 to 1548, Ercker was educated at
Wittenberg University. In 1554, he obtained, through
his wife's relatives, a post as assayer from the Elector
Augustus II at Dresden. From there on he moved through
a succession of positions in mining, metallurgy and at
the mint. After 1558 he moved to Prague where he
wrote his best known book, Die Beschreibung allfùrnemisten
mineralischen Ertz (Prague, 1574), which brought him the
attention of Emperor Maximilian. Ercker was appointed
Courier of Mining and a clerk of the Supreme Court of
Bohemia. The next Emperor, Rudolf II, made him Chief
Inspector of Mines and ennobled him in 1586 with the title
'von Schreckenfels.'

VERY RARE. Together with Agricola's De Re
Metallica (1st ed., Basel, 1556), Ercker's treatise is
the most authoritative and practical work on 16th
century metallurgy and assaying. He provides a
systematic review of methods of testing alloys and
minerals and of obtaining and refining various metals.
Also described are procedures for manufacturing acids,
salts and other chemical compounds, including saltpeter
and vitriol. Apparatus and laboratory equipment used
in metallurgy and assaying as well as detailed accounts
of laboratory procedures, all of which had been used by
Ercker in his everyday work as inspector of mines.
Ercker was an accurate recorder of facts, not a
builder of theoretical systems. He writes with amazing
clarity, with completely realistic descriptions of the
apparatus used and straightforward instructions for
various laboratory operations. His treatment of the
subject is basically the same as found in any modern
treatise on fire assaying, and in fact his work remained
the standard text for several centuries after its first
appearance.
In five books Ercker defines assaying and what
knowledge the practicing assayer should possess. The
first book deals with silver ores, how to distinguish them
and the apparatus required to perform accurate tests,
and refine the resultant metal. Book two describes
the same for gold and its ores, while book three
covers copper. Book four concerns lead, bismuth, tin,
antimony, mercury, iron and lodestone. Book five
describes the preparation of saltpeter and the assay of
vitriol from pyrite and alum in the ores of alum.

Translation by Anneliese G. Siseo and Cyril Stanley
Smith [see notes below], which includes extensive notes by
the translators and title page reproductions of all the earlier
editions of Ercker.
Anneliese Grünhaldt Siseo. (BORN: 1900; DIED: )
German/American metallurgist & chemist. For many years,
Siseo was an associate editor of Alloys of Iron Research in
New York. She worked as a translator for several early
works dealing with metallurgy and mining.
Cyril Stanley Smith. (BORN: Birmingham, England,
1903; DIED: Cambridge, Massacheusetts, U.S.A., 25 August
1992) British/ American metallurgist & chemist. Smith
received his Ph.D. in metallurgy from MIT in 1926. From
1927 to 1942, he worked in industry for American Brass
Company, where he received some 20 patents. During
WWII he worked in Los Alamos on the Manhattan project.
After the war he became a professor of metallurgy and
director of the Institute for the Study of Metals at the
University of Chicago. From 1961 until 1969, he taught
metallurgy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In science, he was renowned for his research in physical
metallurgy, particularly in areas such as the role of interface
energy and topology in the structure of polycrystalline
materials and the application of metallography to the study
of artifacts. He is also remembered for his books and
articles that bring to light historical aspects of metallurgy.

ERDMANN, Axel Joakim. (Born: Stockholm,
Sweden, 12 August 1814; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden, 1
December 1869) Swedish mineralogist & geologist.
Graduated 1833 from Uppsala and studied at the
Mining Academy at Fahlun 1837-38. He studied under
Berzelius the winter 1839-40, and continued after this
chemical mineralogical investigations in his own private
laboratory. He became an instructor at the Mining
Academy in Fahlun 1850. Erdmann turned more and
more towards geology and became the first leader of
Sveriges Geologiska Undersökning (SGU), the geological
survey of Sweden, that he founded 1858. From this
time on he devoted himself to the organization of the
survey and initiated and outlined the geological mapping
of Sweden. Apart from the purely mineralogical works
below Erdmann wrote monograph like articles on some of
the mineralogically interesting ore-fields in Sweden that
were published in the Transactions of the Royal Swedish
Academy of Science: Försök till en geognostisk-mineralogisk
beskrifning öfver Tunabergs socken (1848), Dannemora
jernmalmsfält i Upsala Ian (1850) and Utö jernmalmsfält i
Stockholms län (1854). Moreover, he published also a
handbook in petrology Vägledning till bergarternas kännedom
(1855). [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

SCARCE. The book was written to fill the need of a
Swedish handbook in mineralogy for higher education.
Erdmann was well aware of the need for such a book
and fit for the job as he at the time supervised the
mineralogy, geology and mining courses at the Mining
Academy in Fahlun, his former school. The last Swedish
books in this category were the ones by Retzius (1795)
and the uncompleted by Schwartz (1803), reminds us
the author in the for word. It is divided in a general
and a descriptive part. The first part is divided
in the egenskaper and a short general discussion on
systematics, the descriptive part is based on the system
of Berzelius. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

ERDMANN, Edvard. (BORN: Stockholm, Sweden, 1
October 1840; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden?, 8 September
1923) Swedish geologist & mineralogist.
The son of Axel Erdmann. Followed in his
fathers footsteps and became assisting geologist in the
newly started geological survey, where he stayed and
held different positions during his career. From 1871
until retiring he was responsible for the collections of
the geological survey. Erdmann was actively trying to
popularize the field of geology with several small books,
pamphlets and articles in the subject, it is in this context
his writings on mineralogy came to be.

and found work as BENJAMIN SlLLIMAN'S assistant in Yale's
chemical laboratory in 1849. He became a professor
of chemistry, mineralogy, French and German at the
University of Tennessee in 1850, but resigned in 1852 due to
overwork. In 1854, Erni went to the University of Vermont
as professor of chemistry, toxicology and pharmacy in
the Medical Department as well as professor of natural
philosophy in the Academic Department. He took a
position at Shelby Medical College in Nashville in 1859,
but at the outbreak of the Civil War caused this job to
evaporate. Hired as the first chemist in the Department of
Agriculture in 1862, Erni studied the fermentation process
and various soil types. In 1866, he became an examiner
in the U.S. Patent Office, handling chemistry and physics
inventions. President Grant appointed him consul at Basle,
Switzerland in 1869. He remained there until 1878, when
he returned to Washington, taking a succession of part time
jobs. Erni was a founding member of the Chemical Society
of Washington in 1884.

VERY RARE. This work considers reasons why
no correct mineral system had yet been devised. The
author attributes this dilema to two problems. The
first was that no one had yet accurately investigated
minerals from a chemical standpoint, and the second
was that a very few, true species of minerals had been
endlessly mixed in the earth, resulting in a seemingly
endless variety of species to the mineralogists.

VERY RARE. This popular and influential
introduction to natural history went through over half
a dozen issues before the close of the 18th century.
A bibliographer at heart, Erxleben provides many
references for further reading, while describing the
animal, mineral and vegetable kingdoms. After his
death, Johann Friedrich Gmelin [see note below] took on
the role of editor in 1782, and in this capacity continued
to issue the text with references to the latest discoveries.

principally, but also mentions other gemstones such as
beryl, topaz, chrysoberyl and euclase. The author has
also provided a history of the discoveries of gold and
gemstones in Brazil.

Esper was active as a professor for philosophy and as
a director of the material assets collection of the University
of attaining and published from 1776 to [ 1830 ] its famous
work Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit

VERY SCARCE. Based upon the specimens in
the mineralogical museum of the Friedrichs- Alexanders
University in Erlangen, of which Esper was curator.
The author attempts to create a new mineralogical
classification that is based upon Leonhard, Merz
and Kopp's Systematisch-Tabellarische Übersicht und
Charakteristik der Mineralkörper (Frankfurt am Main,
1806). Whereas the earlier work was essentially
theoretical, Esper applies the theory to the mineral
collection in a practical treatment. Esper provides
the standard data for each mineral species including
species, family, name, synonyms (mostly from Gmelin's
translation of Linneaus), localities, chemical characters,
petrifications are treated separately, characteristics
based on the works of Emmerling, Estner, Suckow and
Reuss. The book has a short introduction that defines
terms, while the remainder is devoted to the description
of the species.

VERY RARE. Designed for the beginner and lover of
minerals, Estner'swork explains Werner's theories. The
author was a devout disciple of Werner doctrine and this
exposition of his theories is one of the most extensive
and rarest of the treatments. Estner relied upon the
mineral collections of Vienna for source material in his
mineral descriptions. According to the title pages of the
various volumes, he also paid the costs of printing and
hence the extreme difficulty in obtaining copies of this
work.

own collecting preferences. The first number of The
Exchangers' Monthly appeared in November, 1885, the
subscription price being twenty-five cents per year. It
was a modest little publication, trim in appearance that
lasted for five years. The name of the magazine was
then changed in November, 1890, to The Mineralogists'
Monthly [which see], and the price advanced to fifty
cents per year.
Arthur C. Chamberlain. (BORN: ; DIED: after 1916)
American publisher. Chamberlain was the owner of The
Chamberlain Printing Company of Jersey City, New Jersy,
which operated from the 1890s to at least 1909. He was an
enthusiastic mineral collector, and involved in the editing
and publishing of several American magazines devoted to
the hobby.

EXNER, Franz Serafín. (BORN: Vienna, Austria, 24
March 1849; DIED: Vienna, Austria, 15 November 1926)
Austrian physicist.
Educated at the University of Vienna (Ph.D.,
1871), Exner was a founder of modern experimental and
theoretical research in atmospheric electricity. He studied
the contact potentials between heterogeneous substances
and developed a theory to explain them. He wrote a highly
esteemed textbook on the spectra of the elements. Exner
was also an early supporter of Helmholtz's three component
theory of color.

VERY SCARCE. Hardness as it applies to
minerals was a subject thoroughly investigated by
Exner in his important Untersuchungen über die
Härte an Krystallnächen. After providing a short
historical introduction to previous investigations into
the hardness of minerals, Exner attempts to place
the study on firm scientific foundations. Hardness
had previously been a physical characteristic that had
been a relative measure between two or more mineral
species. Now however, Exner described the forms of
hardness across the faces of many crystals in a series
of curves of hardness. He obtained the measurements
by determining the least amount of weight required to
scratch a crystalline surface in different directions for
each 10° or 15° from 0° to 180°, as determined by a
sclerometer (an instrument used to measure hardness).
These directions are laid out as radii from the center,
and the length of each is made proportional to the
weight fixed by experiment. These points are then
connected, and a specific hardness diagram for the
mineral determined.

base metals. It consists of eleven chapters that describe
gold, silver, lead, copper, tin as well as various alloys
and oxides. The debt owed by the author to Agrícola
is noted on the title page and in the introductory
letter. This letter written by Johannes Kentmann is
dated 1566, although the title page is dated 1565, and
together with the separate foliation provides evidence
that this work was issued separately, as well as included

VERY RARE. This first edition is not cited in
many of the standard bibliographies, although Ferguson
knew of its existance and Darmstaedter gives a good
description. The preface to the work is dated 1567
and was published by his son Louis Wolfgang Fachs.
Incredibly, the work suggests that when tin and lead
are heated they increase in weight. It was not
until Lavoisier demonstrated this fact in 1772 that it
was accepted by the scientific community, but here
Fachs clearly describes weight increase of metals during
calcination. As the master assayor of the mint for the
Prince of Anhalt, Fachs devotes large sections of his text
to describing the testing, refining and assaying of gold
and silver, while another portion describes managerial
aspects of the mint's operation.
Other editions: The British Library has editions of
1669, 1678 (7th ed., Leipzig, Groß, 1678. [22], 173 p.,
[10], 49, 142 p., one folding table) and 1689 (Leipzig,
Gedruckt im Jahr 1689. a 8 -b 8 с 7 ; 23¿.; [2] 3-39, [7] p.).
Ferguson describes an edition of Leipzig, 1622 and notices
editions published in Leipzig of 1636, 1671 and 1680 and an
Amsterdam edition of 1669. Clearly a popular and much
reprinted work.

VERY SCARCE. This work was compiled and edited
by Johann Georg Georgi from Falck's notes after his
suicide in 1774. Originally the work was planned to be
published in two volumes but, owing to an increase in
the amount of material the second volume was divided
into two. Falck was a disciple of Linnaeus and plans
were mad for him to accompany Forsskål to Arabia
and in Forsskåls company he arrived in Copenhagen
in 1760, but his services were not required. In 1763
plans were made for him to gain employment in St.
Petersburg as head of the natural history collection
of the Russian State Councilor Kruse. In 1768 an
expedition to Eastern Russia and Siberia was arranged,

in which Falck was included. The expedition traveled
into Siberia via Astrakhan and Orenburg via Kolyvan
and Tomsk almost reaching the Mongolian border in
1772, but Falck was then ordered to return to St.
Petersburg. All along he had been collecting material.
For a short time he accompanied Petr SIMON PALLAS
and Georgi in their travels. Having made it to Kazan
Falck committed suicide in March, 1774. A decade
later Georgi edited Falck's diaries and note into the
Beyträge.
The work begins with Falcks summary account
of the journey followed by a geographical description
of scenery and life in the areas covered in Russia
and Siberia, a map, hydrological and mineralogical
observations, lists of plants arranged according to the
sexual system, an extensive Russian-Siberian fauna
and an account of various peoples encountered. Of
particular value is Falcks elaborate description of
the South-Russian steppe. Falcks Beyträg'e was
a distinguished scientific achievement and a fitting
monument to its unfortunate author. The contents
of the volumes are as follows: 1. History of the trip
from 1768 to 1773 and an examination of the physical
and political geography of the regions transversed.
2. Describes the various types of water, rocks, minerals,
fossils, and plants encountered. It includes several
illustrations. 3. Deals with the fauna and various Asian
ethnic groups encountered. It also contains an index to
the entire work and illustrations of animals, people and
tools.

FALLOPPIO, Gabrielle. (BORN: Modena, Italy, 1523;
DIED: Padua, Italy, 9 October 1562) Italian physician
& naturalist.
Falloppio was one of the most important physicians
of the 16th century. He was born to a noble but very poor
family, and it was only through great hardship that an
education was obtained. He studied medicine at Ferrara,
and after taking his degree he worked at various medical
schools before becoming professor of anatomy at Ferrara,
in 1548. The next year he went to the Pisa, the most
important university in Italy. In 1551 Fallopio was invited
to occupy the chair of anatomy and surgery at Padua.
Though he died at an early age, he had made his mark on
anatomy. He studied the organs of generation in both sexes,
and his description of the canal or tube which leads from
the ovary to the uterus attached his name to the structure
(Fallopian tubes). He published only one work dealing with
anatomy during his lifetime. All other books attributed to
him were published from his manuscripts after his death by
his devoted students.

Falsan
Padua in 1556 were published posthumously together
with his lecture on minerals given in 1557. Falloppio's
work critizes Savonarola and others for their statements
about minerals found in springs. It pictures a still and
a chemical examination of water according to 'modern
physicians.' — Partington.
Falloppio's lectures on thermal and medicinal
springs and also on 'fossils', i.e. both paleontological
remains and minerals and earths. These essays were
collected and edited for publication after Falloppio's
death in 1562 by his pupil Andrea Marcolino. The
emphasis of this work is largely geological; the origin
of springs and fountains, the nature of subterranean
fire and generation of heat within the earth, and the
vexing question of the origin of fossils. 'Falloppio,
as one of the great line of Paduan anatomists, would
have been well aware of organic resemblances in
whatever fossils he was familiar with; yet he felt
that their occurrence on hilltops far from the sea
made their organic origin unacceptable. It would
have entailed changes in geography that were literally
incredible, even with an Aristotelian view of continuous
terrestrial change; and an explanation in terms of
spontaneous generation therefore seemed preferable'
(M.J.S. Rudwick, The meaning of fossils). Falloppio also
describes many individual springs, their geology, the
nature of their waters and their medicinal virtues. He
performed analyses to determine the mineral contents
of various springs.
It was published after his death, based on the
notes that the famous typographer Marcolini had taken
at his lessons in Padua university.lt deals with the
origin of springs and fossils, thermal baths and their
properties, geology, and the medical virtues of various
spring waters. He denies that thermal baths would help
changing sex, and prescibes not to bathe in leap years,
criticising Montagnana and Savonarola. Thorndike,

RARE. While exploring the hilly region of Vivarais
and Velay in east-central France, Faujas recognized
ancient basalt flows and their associated mineralization;
however, their were no active volcanoes in the area.
After mineralogically comparing the rocks and minerals
found in France with specimens collected near active
volcanoes, Faujas presents his conclusions in the
Recherches, in which he showed decisively the volcanic
origin of basalt. Although the neptunists would
continue to show contrary evidence, Faujas conclusions
were so convincing that it helped crush the thought that
basalt formed through sedimentary processes once and
for all. The Recherches also gives excellent descriptions
and illustrations of the extinct volcanoes in France
which Zittel says "have scarcely been surpassed in later
publications."

sources. Of the twenty chapters, the first fifteen
contain Faujas' observations and ideas about basalt.
In particular, he enumerates and relates the mineral
species found in ancient basalt fields to those minerals
found near Mt. ./Etna and clearly a product of that
volcanoes geological process. He subsequently draws
the correct conclusion that they formed in similar
fashion at both locations. This is reinforced at the
end of the text with Faujas' description of specimens
collected by Dolomieu from Mt. ¿Etna.

VERY SCARCE. Describes a trip taken through
Great Britain in 1784. "In 1784 Faujas journeyed
through England to Scotland; a full account was
published in 1797. He narrated entertaining details of
his travels and described arts, industries, and customs,
but his most important observations were geological.
He realized the volcanic nature of the basalt of the Inner
Hebrides and paid special attention to the spectacular
columnar occurrence on the isle of Staffa, about which
his curiosity had been aroused by Banks's account in
Thomas Pennant's Second Tour of Scotland ... (1774)"
(DSB). In volume II there is a description of Faujas'
visit to Joseph Black (pp. 267-262). The attractive
plates include Fingal's cave and the interior of the
house of McNab, the owner of a number of fragments
of Ossian's poems. James Mcpherson's so called
'translation' of Ossian's 'Fingal' had been published in
1763 and ecstatically received throughout Europe.

VERY SCARCE. This is the first appearance of
Faujas' last work, which contains a summation of his
life-time study and research of paleontology, geology,
mineralogy and vulcanology. Volume one is devoted
almost exclusively to fossils and Faujas gives a summary
of the known species of fossil fishes and the localities in
which they occurred. The first part of volume two is
concerned with minerals and it is beautifully illustrated
with five engraved and colored plates of minerals. The
second portion is devoted to Faujas' final thoughts on
the nature and origin of volcanoes.
Contents: 1. Animal and vegetable fossils. 2, pt. 1.
Minerals. 2, pt. 2, Volcanoes.

VERY RARE. Auction sale catalog of Feldmann's
cabinet of natural history objects, which occurred
several years after his death. The cabinet contained
9000 shells, 1200 mineral specimens including 340
pieces of amber, 3000 stones and petrifications, 1000
polished or ornamental stones which included 600
fossils, 1052 samples of wood, and a smaller selection
of instruments, stuffed animals, and other curiosities.
The title indicates that if a buyer could not be found for
the entire cabinet before 1 August 1785, the collection
would be sold piecemeal later that month. According to
a manuscript notation in the copy examined, the sale
actually began on 15 September 1785 and continued
on the following days. This delay suggests that there
may have been an effort to secure the entire assembly
but because the auction happened that the last minute

worked as a librarian for several universities before fleeing
to England in 1775 after pilfering some gems that were
supposedly in his care. He worked at the Dolcoath Mine,
Camborne, where he wrote his famous tale The Surprising
Adventures Of Baron Munchhausen as well as discovering in
St. Agnes a new tin-bearing sulphide, stannite. In 1791 he
had to move again (to Ireland) after his involvement in a
mining swindle in Scotland.

SCARCE. This work, one in an important series by
Ferber, went a long way in constructing the foundation
for future geological studies of the Austro-Hungary
empire. Divided into three parts the author first
lists each mining operation in Bohemia. The second
describes in detail nineteen operating mines in the area,
giving details of their operation an production. The
final section discusses the legal rights of the nobility
versus the landowners regarding the mineral wealth of
the area.

FERRARA, Francesco.
Intended for a career with the church, Ferrara
became interested in science after witnessing an eruption of
Etna. Afterwards he focused his attention natural history,
graduating from the University of Catania in 1786 with
degrees in medicine and philosophy. He corresponded
with DOLOMIEU and SPALLANZANI. After graduation Ferrara
continued his theological studies and was ordained a priest
in 1792. In 1802 he was appointed professor of physics at
the University of Catania.

GOLDSCHMIDT. This is one of the best authorities on
the morphology of diamond crystals as well as other
features of this unique mineral species. The first part
treats the general properties of diamonds including
crystallography and etch figures. The second part
gives an historical overview of previous investigations
and includes a long bibliography. The last section
describes the morphology of crystals including diamond
twins. Etch figures are described including methods of
developing them. The atlas is remarkable giving shaded
crystal drawings and other figures rendered from actual
stones. Altogether there are 292 figures of diamond
crystals and associated figures.
Victor Goldschmidt. (BORN: Mainz, Germany, 10

German mineralogist & crystallographer. Goldschmidt began
as a student of metallurgy at the Industrial Academy
in Berlin and the Freiberg Bergakademie, but in 1880,
he graduated with a Ph.D. in mineralogy from the
University of Heidelberg. In 1888, he married Leontine
Porges, who supported her husband and his students.
In 1888, Goldschmidt also became a faculty member of
the University of Heidelberg. There he founded the
Mineralogical-Crystallographic Institute.

FEUCHTWANGER, Lewis. (Born: Fürth, Bavaria,
Germany, 11 January 1805; DIED: New York City,
New York, U.S.A., 25 June 1876) German/ American
physician, chemist & mineralogist.
In 1827, Feuchtwanger received his M.D. from the
University of Jena, and he emigrated to the United States
in 1829. He eventually ended up in New York City where
he opened a pharmacy. However, he turned his attention to
chemistry, and developed an alloy of nickel, copper and zinc
known as "German Silver." He convinced the government
to mint some one-cent and three-cent specimens using
his allow, and today these are highly sought after by
numismatists. Lewis' father was a mineralogist, and the
son retained his interest, building a large collection and
becoming a dealer in minerals and gems. He exhibited
his collection at the Great Exhibition, London, 1851 and
the Industrial Exhibition, London, 1862, where a portion
was sold. From the 1850s to the 1870s, Feuchtwanger

obtained and sold commercial quantities of minerals and
ores, opening a plant in New York to prepare chemical
preparations from the raw material.
In 1832, Feuchtwanger offered his cabinet of minerals
and other objects of natural history for sale, either in its
entirity or piecemeal. Included were a large wax yellow
Baltic amber weighing almost 21bs., an American beryl
weighing 701bs., three collections of precious stones, and
three collections of minerals containing 160, 350 and 940
specimens. Apparently, the collection was not completely
dispersed as Canfield (1923) records that his daughters
presented his collection to the Society of Ethical Culture
in New York City about 1900.

Rare. As the first treatise on gemology published
in the United States, this volume is suprisingly readable
and acurate in its stone descriptions. It begins with
general information about the properties of minerals
like form, cleavage, fracture, hardness, color, specific
gravity, etc. The work continues with a discussion of
the minerals that are considered gems such as diamond,
sapphire, chrsoberyl, topaz, etc. The descriptions each
contain information about the stones history, physical
properties and known localities. An appendix contains
descriptions of pearls and coral. The work ends with an
index to the stones described.

RARE. Zittel says "the present work is devoted
chiefly to a careful enumeration and description of the
eruptive rocks in the Carpathians. He distinguishes
volcanic outbreaks, with which superficial lava flows are
associated, from volcanic upheavals, in the course of
which wide regions are affected, and masses of igneous
material are intruded in the crust. It can easily be
understood that Fichtel's work met with an incredulous
reception by Werner and his adherents." Fichtel
included not only basalt but all granitoid, gneissose,
schistose, and doleritic series as igneour in their origin.
He was able to distinguish two kinds of volcanic
mountains: 1) those which consist of immense uniform
masses, sometimes building up a whole mountain-chain,
and 2) those in which rocks of different costitution
alternate with one another in a stratified way.

RARE. Although published anonymously, this
remarkable work has since been attributed to Johann
Ehrenreich von Fichtel. Probably frustrated by
the confusion of the mineralogical science in the
1790s, the author penned this sharp satire that
attempts to classify mineralogists based upon their own
theories. Within the 48 groupings, Fichtel recognizes

not a mineral, "geometristen" who view the world

VERY RARE. The descriptive catalog of Pavel
Grigorievich Démidoff 's [see note below] mineral
collection is given within this volume. It lists 3,850
specimens of minerals, rocks, fossils and gemstones
that were contained within a general natural history
cabinet. The plates illustrate minerals and fossils. The
collection was subsequently acquired by the University
of Moscow.
The description of the mineral collection is
contained in the second volume. The first volume of
the set contains a decription of the library (Moscow,
1806; lxxiii, 275 p.) and volume 3 describes animals
and plants (Moscow, 1817; xl, 326 p.). Apparently in
1817, after volume 3 appeared, the complete work was
again reissued in Moscow and Leipzig (by Fleischer).
Pavel Grigorievich Démidoff. (BORN: 1738; DIED: 1821)
Russian naturalist, aristocrat & traveller. Démidoff founded
the botanical gardens of Moscow. His uncle, Akinfi Nikitich
Démidoff [?— cl740] established the family's extensive gold,
silver and copper mines. From this beginning Pavel
inherited a collection of mineralized examples, to which
he added other examples as well as a large library, and
botanical and zoological examples. The whole collection
was then donated to the University of Moscow where the
remains are today located.

EXTREMELY RARE. This is a through examination
of oryctognosie section of mineralogy that Fischer wrote
as an advanced textbook. At Moscow University in first
quarter of the nineteenth century, formal descriptive
mineralogy was cultivated. Fischer led the charge,
teaching the course in mineralogy, and preparing in
1818 a textbook, the Ориктогноз1я, that bears all
the features typical of a descriptive mineralogy. He
follows Werner in his discussion of the characteristics,
and divides the minerals into stones, salts, combustible
substances, and metals. These classes are then broken
down into families, which consist of several mineral
forms. The account of the minerals given by Fischer are
so arduous and difficult that it is virtually impossible to
determine the species described. A citation to a second
volume published in 1820 has been seen, but no physical
copy has been discovered to describe.

FOOTE, Albert Edward. (Born: Hamilton, New
York, U.S.A., 6 February 1846; DIED: Atlanta, Georgia,
U.S.A., 10 November 1895) American chemist, mineral
collector & dealer.
Father of the mineral dealer and businessman,
Warren Mathews Foote. A.E. Foote was professor of
chemistry at Iowa Agricultural College. However, in
the mid-1860's, he began collecting mineral specimens
from the mines of Michigan, causing Foote to establish a
mineral dealing business in Philadelphia. Eventually, the
name of Foote became famous for his large inventory of
worldwide minerals, which were labeled and sold or traded
to mineralogists at all levels.

RARE. All published? By the early- 1870's Foote
had formed an extensive personal mineral collection,
part of which had been privately exhibited in New
York in 1873. Probably based upon his reception
there, he moved in 1875 to Philadelphia and prepared
for the 1876 Centennial Exposition that took place
in that city. Within the show he exhibited his best
specimens, for which he won an award, while outside he
sold his surplus specimens from a building rented just
outside the Exposition grounds. This business was not
exclusively minerals, but included shells, other natural
history specimens, scientific instruments and second-
hand scientific books. The catalogue described above
describes the types of minerals Foote had for sale during
this period. No trace has been found of other catalogue
parts that might have been published.

FORSIUS (Helsingforsius), Sigfrid Aronius. (Born:
Helsingfors, Finland, cl550; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden,
Before 24 June 1624) Finnish cleric, astronomer,
naturalist & writer.
It is recorded that Forsius had a wide ranging
knowledge ol scientific subjects, especially astronomy. In
April, 1595 he was among the first to enter the newly
established University at Uppsala, but within a year he
had entered the army. By 1605, he traveled to Germany
to further his education. He returned to Uppsala in 1608
to accept an astronomical professorship. But within a few
years he accepted a position at a local church. Forsius
was a prolific and wide ranging writer, authoring numerous
almanacs and scientific works.

Rare. The manuscript from which this book was
printed was originally written in 1613, and the work
itself appeared a few decades after Forsius' death. In
all of his writings Forsius was devoted to the theories
of Paracelsus. The Minerographia is an expansion
of a chapter and other material that made its first
appearance in the author's Physica. (Stockholm, 1611),
which was Forsius' description of creation. In this
book he comprehensively explains his theories about
minerals, rocks and stones, with particualar reference
to their use in medicine. He presents a classification
of minerals that follows in its essentials the system
first proposed by ANDREA Cesalpino and divides the
subject into Terrae, Mineraria, Metalla, Mineraria a
rnetallis nata, and Lapides.

Johann Reinhold Forster
FORSTER, Johann Reinhold. (Born: Dirschau,
Germany, 22 October 1729; DlED: Halle/Saale,
Germany, 9 December 1798) German naturalist of
Scottish heritage.
Father of the renowned naturalist Johann Georg
Adam Forster [1754-1794], Johann Reinhold was a man
of great scientific attainments, but an intractable temper.
Commissioned by empress Catherine to survey the Russian
colonies of Saratov province, Forster quarreled with the
government and left with his family for England. There
he obtained a position as instructor of natural history
and modern languages at the nonconformist academy at
Warrington. His temper soon compelled him to resign this
appointment, and was forced for several years to earn a
living publishing translations. An invitation to accompany
Captain Cook on his third voyage around the world was
accepted on the condition that his son, Johann Georg
Adam be his assistant. The account of these travels was
published by the son as A Voyage round the World (London,
1777; German, Berlin, 1778-80), which is considered the
"first example of the glowing yet faithful description of
natural phenomena which has since made a knowledge
of them the common property of the educated world."
[Encyc. Brit.] After returning to England, Johann Reinhold
landed in debtor's prison, but was released after receiving a
professorship at the University of Halle, where he remained
the rest of his life.

RARE. In the Advertisement, Forster describes his
disappointment at not finding a suitable textbook in
English to teach mineralogy. He recounts problems with
the previous publications of Webster, Hill, Woodward,
and Da Costa, and continues, "I found myself under
the necessity of drawing up a short sketch of my
own, adapted in the best manner I could imagine to
the use of my class." Forster than describes how
Lehmann presented him with a copy of his "Tables"
when Forster visited St. Petersburg several years before.
This book, meant to be the first volume of a general
natural history (never completed), attempts to classify
minerals on a purely chemical basis. It also discusses the
generation of mineral bodies, including theories on the
general structure of the earth. The relationship between
various salts is described in a series of tables translated
from Johann Gottlob Lehmann's Kurzer Entwurf einer
Mineralogie (2nd ed., Berlin, 1760). Other tables show
the specific gravities of various minerals. The volume
closes with a consideration of the electric conductivity
of minerals based on Joseph Priestley's History of
Electricity (1st ed., London, 1762).

VERY SCARCE. The book begins with an account of
the apparatus and precautions necessary for successful
chemical analysis of minerals. This is followed by
analytical descriptions of minerals classified under the
headings of Earthy and Stony, Saline, Inflammable and
Metallic. At this point, with its own title page, is the
section concerning Sparry Fluor, today known as the
mineral Fluorite. Originally authored by the Swedish
chemist Carl William Scheele [1742-1786] and published
in the Memoirs of the Royal Swedish Academy for 1771,
this paper describes a series of interesting chemical
investigations performed on samples of Sparry Fluor.
These experiments include its combination with alkali
and saline media, and the creation of hydrofluoric acid
upon its reaction with hydrochloric acid.

Fortis, an Augustinian friar, physician, naturalist,
poet, journalist (and finally librarian of the Bologna
library) resided in Croatia from 1771 to 1774; his
letters, describing the country and its people, to various
luminaries were collected together and published in
the present volume. Included are his observations of
Cherso and Osero, and the account of the voyage of
Antonio Veranzio from Budapest to Constantinople in
1553, edited by Fortis. There are numerous details
of the Morlacchi, or Vlassi as they called themselves.
In his account Fortis outlined many of the divisions
and tensions: the Vlassi despised the people of the
coastal towns, who heartily detested them in return.
To Fortis the Morlacchi represented a key to the
ethnographic identity of Eastern Europe, since they
could be identified by their language as Slavs. The
accidental discovery of coins, walls and a necropolis
at Tupeci made Fortis famous; the naturalist came
to the conclusion that the locality could have been
the site of the Late Antiquity Laurentum described
by Procopius (500? - 565? AD), a Byzantine
historian. The engravings depict landscape views,
native costumes, archeological ruins, fossils, mineral
formations, Fortis's Viaeeio in Dalmaziawas translated
into English and French, both editions published in
1778. The above work was quoted by Montague
Summers in The Vampire: His Kith and Kin(reprinted
1960): "When a man dies suspected of becoming a
Vampire or Vulkodlak, as they call it, they cut his hams,
and prick his whole body with pins, pretending that,
after this operation, he cannot walk about." Another
method found to incapacitate the body of an individual
destined for vampirism is to break the deceased's spine.
Mustard seeds were often placed in the coffin in order to
keep the vampire busy counting them" (pp. 204-210).
The discrepancy between the number of plates called for
on the title-page and the number found in other perfect
copies may be accounted for by several plates showing
more than one subject.

1904) French geologist & mineralogist.
Fouqué made an extended voyage to Italy in I860,
and he also witnessed the eruption of Mt. Etna in
1868. Fouqué was appointed professor of inorganic
substances at the College of France in 1877. Elected
a member of the French Academy of Science in 1881,
Fouqué became its president in 1901. His contributions
include the introduction of the microscope for pétrographie
study to France, pioneering studies in the formation and
composition of volcanic products, as well as many volcanic
studies and the artificial production of rocks and minerals.

Auguste Michel-Lévy. (BORN: Paris, France, 17 August
1844; DIED: Paris, France, 24 September 1911) French
petrologist & mineralogist. Michel-Lévy was a brilliant
student, and is today called one of the pioneers of
microscopic petrology. His interest turned to geology, and
in 1862 he matriculated at the Polytechnic School, then
entered the School of Mines, from which he graduated at
the head of his class in 1867. From 1870 he made his career
with the government Geological.

"Fouqué made 3 important contributions to science.
First he added significantly to the knowledge of volcanic
phenomena ... secondly in collaboration with AUGUSTE-
MlCHEL Levy he introduced into France the study of
rocks by microscopical petrography... The two- volume
work Minéralogie Micrographique laid the foundation
of modern petrography by introducing a classificatory
system based on the mineralogical composition, the
structure and the chemical composition of volcanic
rocks." — DSB.

Rare. A part of the material of this Work
was prepared by the author and published under the
title of "Mineral Tables." The second edition of the
"Tables" being exhausted, advantage is taken of the
opportunity to revise, enlarge rewrite, make additions
and corrections, and bring the work out in the present
more convenient form.
It has been the intention of the author to furnish
a work by the aid of which minerals found in this
country may easily be determined, to give concisely
their prominent and distinguishing characteristics, and
to present the classifications usually used in arranging
cabinets. The tables for determining minerals are those
constructed by the author and published in the work
referred to above. Experience in using them in the
classroom for the past eleven years has led to a slight
modification of their original form. — Preface.

Frankenheim
FRANKENHEIM, Moritz Ludwig. (Born: Braun-
schweig, Germany, 29 June 1801; DlED: Dresden, Ger-
many, 14 January 1869) German physicist & crystallo-
grapher.
Frankenheim began his teaching career when he was
appointed associate professor at the University of Breslau
[now Wroclaw, Poland??] in 1827. From 1850 to 1866
he was professor of physics and director of the physics
cabinet at that same institution. Frankenheim was a
pioneer crystallographer who was the first to show in 1826
that spatial lattices were not only geometrically possible
but were confined to 32 configurations, thus anticipating
Auguste Bravais [q. v.] who is normally credited with the
discovery. He also opposed J.N. von Fuch's [q.v.] theory
of amorphy with one of aggregates of invisible crystals
(important in the theory of colloids).

and therefore includes a great deal of information on
the hardness of minerals as it relates to the crystal
structure. Also contained throughout the text are
bibliographical references. "Frankenheim's importance
lies especially in the field of crystallography. In his
work Die Lehre von der Cohesion he was the first to

VERY SCARCE. The introduction covers various
details about the physical properties of minerals, such
as specific gravity, hardness and crystallography. This
work is based partly on Mohs Handbuch der Mineralogie
(??, 18??). After the introduction, the characteristics of
crystals are discussed followed by a detailed discussion
of the six crystal systems, I. Tessular, II. Tetragonale,
III. Hexagonale, IV. Isoclinic, V. Monoclinic and VI.
Triclinic. The impact of isomorphism and diamorphism
to crystal structure in minerals is then described. A

FRÄTTA ET MONTALBANO, Marco Antonio
Delia. (BORN: 1635; DIED: 1695) Italian aristrocat.
MONTALBANI (the marquis Marc-Marc- Antoine),
wire of the precedent, had been born in 1630. It was pursued
the study of mineralogy particularly, and traversed as a
naturalist the countries of the north of Europe. The king
of Poland Jean-Casimir accomodated it with kindness at
his court, and decorated it with the title of marquis. Marc
returned to Italy, rich person of much of new knowledge;and
after having exploited the coasts of the Adriatic, it returned
to Bologna to lay out its materials and to put in order the
collections which it had formed. It died there in 1695, at
the 65 years age. There is of hirn 1 Catascopia minérale,

de connaissances nouvelles; et après avoir exploité les côtes

RARE. A handsomely illustrated textbook on
mining and metallurgical operations, which contains
much practical information. Adams describes it has
"one of the most important of the early books on
mining." It is particularly strong in describing the
construction and operation of smelting furnaces. Also
included are observations about various minerals and
metals. The author supports Agricola's views in that
metals and ores did not spring spontaneously into being
at the moment the world was created. The unsigned
plates picture a wide variety of furnaces and related
technologies.

Rare. First printed catalogue of the library of
the famous Bergakademie in Freiberg, Germany. This
volume lists 17,836 books by author, with title, place
and date of publication. Although three supplements
were published, the projected subject classification that
would be a companion to this original volume was never
published.
This Bergakademie's library is one of the greatest
rnineralogical and geological collections yet assembled.
Founded in 1766 with the Bergakademie it had 1875
volumes by 1819 when it was fortunate to acquire the
3306 works that composed the personal library of its
most famous teacher, Abraham Gottlob Werner. The
library continued to be enlarged through donations and
purchases and still exists in Freiberg, Germany. Three
supplements were published between 1893 and 1928.

FREIESLEBEN, Johann Carl. (Born: Freiberg,
Germany, 14 June 1774; DlED: Nieder-Auerbach,
Voigtland??, 20 March 1846) German mineralogist &
geologist.
Freiesleben studied under A. G. WERNER at the
Bergakademie in Freiberg. In 1799, he was awarded the
title of Bergmeister, and in 1800 he was appointed advisor
to the mining council and director of mining activities in
Eisleben. In 1838 he became Chief Mining Advisor for all
of Saxony, a post he held until his retirement in 1842.

RARE. Freiesleben, a member of an old Freiberg
mining family, was one of the most gifted and most
learned students of Werner and a close friend of von
Buch and Humboldt. The author later became chief
administrator of the mines in the Kingdom of Saxony.
"Through his exact and reliable descriptions of the
Permian and Triassic sedimentary formations in Saxony
and Thuringia he pushed beyond Werner to a greater
knowledge of the stratigraphie relationships of these
periods in central Germany and helped to create the
basis for stratigraphie comparisons with neighboring
regions. His painstaking and accurate data on mining

Rare, especially in complete sets. Each volume
has its own special title page, as follows: Volumes 1—
4. "Geognostischer Beytrage zur Kenntniß des Kupfer-
schiefergebirges mit besonderer Hinsicht auf einen Theil
der Grafschaft Mannsfeld und Thürigens." Volumes 5—
6. "Beytrage zur mineralogischen Kenntniß von Sach-
sen."
The first volumes provide a geological description
of the great copper deposits (known as the Kupfer-
schiefergebirges) in Germany. Details are given of the
locations, formations, ore types, history, etc. of the re-
gion. The last two volumes of this series, Bey träge
zur mineralogischen Kenntniß von Sachsen, describe
the mineralogy of the region of Saxony in Germany.
Freiesleben first describes the geological lay of the land,
and the type of rocks found throughout. He then de-
scribes iron and tin mining, and the various mineral
species found. Basalt is then described. The work con-
cludes with Freiesleben's descriptive mineralogy of all
species known to occur in the Saxon regions.

VERY SCARCE. The first appearance of this
bibliography was in the Bermännischen Journal for
1816. This is a separate, expanded edition, bringing
the bibliographic coverage up to 1820. It is a
classified catalog biased to German literature with
the first part covering writings in mineralogy, mining
and metallurgy. Under this heading are listed
bibliographies, dictionaries, works on nomenclature,
periodicals, specialized writings in mineralogical
chemistry and metallurgy, mineral analysis, mineral
economics, and topographical works. The second
portion covers textbooks of mineralogy, oryctognosy,
classificatory works, petrology, and geognosy. The third
section lists works on mining and mine procedures.

FRENZEL, Friedrich August. (Born: Freiberg,
Germany, 24 May 1842; DIED: Freiberg, Germany, 27
August 1902) German mineralogist.
Frenzel won a scholarship to the Freiberg Bergakad-
emie. Early on, he attracted the attention of A. Brei-
THAUPT, who asked him to help arrange the museum collec-
tions and determine their species. Under his mentor's di-
rection, Frenzel soon was an expert mineralogist. However,
his father died, and he had to contribute to his mother's
support. He worked as a miner while completing his course
work at Freiberg. After graduation, he accepted a position
in the smelting laboratory of the town. He applied himself
to the position, and he may have been the first researcher
to isolate the element "Germanium," to which priority is
given to G.G. WINKLER of Freiberg.

FRIEDEL, Charles. (BORN: Strausbourg, France, 12
March 1832; DIED: Montauban, France, 20 April 1899)
French chemist & crystallographer.
Father of GEORGES FRIEDEL, Charles Friedel studied
at the Sorbonne in Paris. He qualified in both chemistry
and mineralogy and in 1856 was made curator of the
collection of minerals at the Ecole des Mines. In 1871
he became an instructor at the Ecole Normale and from
1876 was a professor of mineralogy at the Sorbonne.
Together with the U.S. chemist James Mason Crafts [1839-
1917], he discovered the Friedel-Crafts reaction, which
is useful in organic synthesis. Throughout his career,
Friedel successfully combined his interests in chemistry and
minerals, and authored important studies of pyroelectricity
and of artificial synthesis of minerals.

RARE. Complete descriptive catalog of the
petrifications and other curious and rare stones and
minerals, which were contained in the outstanding
cabinet of Friedrich Hoffmann. Schröter considers
the descriptions to be far to brief, incomplete and
unreliable. At the conclusion of the catalog is a
bibliography of the works referenced in the text. The
MineraJienkabinett was acquired in 1777 by Johann
Goldhagen and incorporated into his own natural
history collections. Subsequently, in 1787, Goldhagen's
collections were purchased by the University of Halle.
The remains of it are held there today.
Friedrich Hoffmann. (BORN: Halle, Germany, 19
February 1660; DIED: Halle, Germany, 12 November 1742)
German physician. Hoffmann was the son of Friedrich
Hoffmann [1626-1675], a well-known municipal physician
of Halle. In 1675, he lost both his parents and a sister
within a few days. In his youth, he was educated at home,
including instruction in anatomy and pharmacology. From
1678 to 1680, he studied medicine at the University of Jena,
receiving his M.D. in 1681. Afterward, Hoffmann embarked
on an extended tour of Belgium, Holland, and England,
studying medical methods. In 1681, he accepted a position
at the University of Jena, but soon left due to jealousy
from the senior faculty. For the next decade he successfully
practiced his craft in Minden and Halberstadt. In 1693,
Hoffmann was named the first professor of medicine at the
University of Halle and charged with organizing the medical
school. Except for a couple of tenures as court physician
in Berlin, he remained in Halle.
Johann Friedrich Gottlieb Goldhagen. (BORN:
Nordhausen, Germany, 1742; DIED: Halle, Germany, 10
January 1788) German physician & medical writer. In
1769 Goldhagen was named professor extraordinary of
philosophy and natural history at the University of Halle.
In 1778 he was appointed professor of medicine and was
given the title of city phyician. During his lifetime he
built an extensive natural science collection, which was
among the most important in Europe. Included was a large
component of mineralogical specimens, rocks and fossils. In
1787, his collections were puchased for 2,500 thaler by the
University.

VERY SCARCE. This is a curious mixture of
science and theology being a history of the physical
world from creation to its presumed fiery end. Frisch
discusses the geology and mineralogy of the Earth, the
nature of light and the elements, and asks questions
like "what among all things will pass or will melt?" ,
"what kind of fire will it be?", etc. All is considered
in light of the creation and the millennium, with
the general theological overtones. Frisch references
Bernhard Wagners' Traciatus Theologicus de Fine
Mundi (Leipzig, 1699) throughout his text. The plates
show the earth in different stages since its creation, and
other physical phenomena including the refraction of
the sunbeams.

study in the history of precious stones as they were
used in early medicine. It is an enlarged version of the
author's doctoral dissertation on the same topic. The
text describes how these minerals were used by people
in India, China, the Middle East from prehistoric times
through the Middle Ages. In addition, a systematic
description of each gemstones properties is given with
citations to the literature and to the diseases that the
individual stones would treat.

VERY RARE. This catalog provides a listing
of specimens contained in the Copenhagen physician
Henrick Furien's [1614-1659] museum, which together
with a valuable library were bequeathed to the
University of Copenhagen. The text provides the names
of the various specimens and includes shells, minerals,
plants, etc. It was compiled by Thomas Fuiren, the
brother of Henrick after the later's death. Thomas
had previously cataloged the library in Catalogue
Bibliothecee Henrici Furien (Hafniee, 1660).
This text of this catalog originally appeared in
Thomas Bartholin's Domus Anatómica (Hafnise, 1662),

FULKE, William. (BORN: London, England, 1538;
DIED: London, England?, 1589) English author.
After studying at St Paul's School, Fulke attended St
John's College, Cambridge and graduated in 1558. Finding
he was not interested in his studies of law, he turned
to mathematics, languages and theology. He authored
many works in defense of Protestantism and in refuting
the doctrines of the church of Rome. One particularly
interesting non-theological works was a fantasy of an
astronomical game in the manner of chess.

8 o : a 4 A-L8; 9l£.; [8], 1-174, [2] p. Title within rules,
ornamental initials and headpieces.
RARE. Fulkes astronomical and meteorological
treatise had been first published in 1563 under title A
goodly gallerye with a most pleasant prospect, into the
garden of naturall contemplation, to behold the naturall
causes of all kynde of meteors. It is here enlarged by
an anonymous second part "Observations on Dr. F. his
booke of meteors. By F.W." p(p. [157]-174.) Fulke
uses the term Meteor to advance a unified theory of the
earth and heavens as a series of effusions generated by
the earth itself, namely the fiery; the airy; the watery;
and the earthly. Within this framework he considers the
nature and causes of comets, shooting stars, the aurora and
other aerial phenonmena; clouds and storms; the nature
of the rainbow (advancing a theory of the rainbow as
light refracted through water vapour); rivers, lakes, hot
springs and the sea; and the types of metals and minerals
found within the earth. The work was evidently composed
while Fulke was at Cambridge, from whence he graduated
in 1563, and predates his celebrated Puritan polemics by
nearly a decade. This scarce edition of 1654 list quartos
of Othello and The Merchant of Venice among the books
advertised by William Leake.

FYODOROV, Evgraf Stepanovich. (Born: Oren-
burg, Russian, 22 December 1853; DIED: Petrograd,
Russia, 21 May 1919) Russian crystallographer, ge-
ometrist, petrologist, mineralogist and geologist.
Fyodorov studied mathematics indepentently while
attending the St. Petersburg Military Engineering School,
the Military Medical and Surgical Academy, and the
Technological Institute. Upon graduating from the Mining
Institute in 1883, Fyodrov took an appointment with
the Mining Department where he was included in an
expedition to explore the northern Urals. He extended a
very strong influence on the developement of mineralogy
and crystallography at the end of the nineteenth century.
His clssification of symmetry groups of crystallized matter
lead directly to the working out of a new nomenclature of
systems and point group symmetries known as Fyodorov—
Groth nomenclature. Fyodorov's goniometer modifications
Fyodorov (Federov)
produced a revolution in the method of investigating
minerals. Invented the universal stage (Fyodorov table) for
pétrographie microscopes that would locate the specimen
at the center of two glass hemispheres (Fyodorov method).

VERY RARE. This is Fyodorov's classic work
that provides the deduction of the possible 230 space
groups that now serve as the mathematical basis
of structural and crystallographic analysis. Early
in his career, Fyodorov became interested in the
relationship between symmetry and crystallography.
Extending the previous work of BRAVAIS and SOHNCKE,
Fydorov focused his attention on the aggregate of
point systems providing a complete derivation of
real point systems and the derivation of all possible
forms of crsytal structures with every group rigorously

determined by an algebreic determination. Symmetry
of Real Systems of Configuration outlines Fydorov's
methods that systematically developed the studies of
symmetry as they pertain to natural crystals and shows
conclusively that there are only 230 possible configures.
Incredibly, the German crystallographer SCHOENFLIES
almost similtanously derived the same configurations,
although Fydorov clearly had priority.
Separate preprints of this work were published
in 1890 and presented by the author to his colleages
and friends in Russia and Europe. The work was
then printed as "Simmetrija pravil'nych sistem figur"
in Zapiski S. Petersburg Mineral. Obsc, 2nd series, 28

VERY SCARCE. This is a German translation
of the enormous "Tsarstvo Kristallov" ("The Crystal
Kingdom") that appeared in Zapiski Rossiiskoi
Akademii Nauk, 36 (1920). It was the culmination of
Fyodorov's forty years of research in crystallography.
Fydorov and his favorite students collected enorumous
quantities of data from the measurments of all
possible crystals. This information was categoriezed
and published a year after Fydorov's death in this
monumental work. From the geometry of the crystals,
the author derives conclusions about their internal
structure., an idea taken up by Harker, Donnay, and
others in the following decades.

Swedish chemist & mineralogist.
Gadd was educated at the University of Abo,
graduating with a philosophical degree. In 1750, he was
appointed a docent in natural history. With the support of
University and public funds, he undertook travels in 1753
to 1755 throughout Finland to study nature and economics.
Upon his return Gadd was appointed professor of physics,
economics and chemistry at the University of Abo. In
this capacity, ho showed his skill as an operative chemist,
knowledge which he passed on to his many students. Gadd
was a member of the Kungliga Svenksa Vetenpskapademien
(Royal Swedish Academy of Science), and other learned
si icieties.

[1701-1768], respondent. The "Brakengeruch" of the sea
and the resulting sea sickness that results from it, Gadd
attributes to the salty exhalations of the sea, which are
not however of alkaline nature. The suffocating vapor
(Mephitis) he considers as vitrolic, and believes that it
also gives an arsenical scent, if a small amount of arsenic
is present. There follows descriptions of sulfur-like and
petroleum- like vapors. These last, Gadd believes are
responsible for fire, though he notices a sulfur smell from
the combustion fumes of petroleum.

GADOLIN, Aksel' Vil'gePmovich. (Born: Finland,
12 (24) June 1828; DIED: St. Petersburg, Russia, 15 (27)
December 1892) Russian scientist & artillery weapons
expert.
Gadolin graduated the Mikhail Artillery School in
1849 and remained their to teach. He developed techniques
for building high velocity canons, which significantly
increased the range a shell could be propelled. He
is remembered in crystallography for deriving the 32
macrosymmetrical crystal groups, and devising a method
for depicting these groups on a sphere that is still in use
to the present. The St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences
awarded him the Lomonosov prize for his crystallographic
work, 1868.

EXTREMELY RARE. This is the separate appear-
ance of Gadolin's Deduction of all Crystallographic Sys-
tems and their Subdivisions by Means of a Single Gen-
eral Principle that showed there are only a limited num-
ber of possible crystallographic polyhedra possible. In
1830 Carl Friedrich Naumann coordinated the crys-
tallographic systems of Weiss and Mohs, but which to
some degree ignored symmetry elements. In response
Gadoin who was a Russian artillery professor and a tal-
ented amateur crystallographer became agitated over
Naumann 's lack of rational in developing his crystal-
lographic descriptions. To better relate symmetry and
crystallography Gadolin developed his own procedure
for studying crystal symmetry.
Beginning with the empirical law of rational pa-
rameters Gadolin demonstrates in this work that it is
possible to derive through deduction all the crystal-
lographically possible polyhedra by studying how the
elements of symmetry can be combined. In this way
Gadolin shows that the resulting polyhedra can be di-
vided into 32 classes varying by symmetry. He also
states unequivocally and for the first time that two crys-
tals should belong to the same crystal class if they have
the same elements of symmetry. This is the foundation
of modern classification into geometric crystal classes.
Like some other scientific works this revolutionary
work was largely overlooked at the time of its publica-
tion. It was only in later years that Gadolin's crys-
tal classes became generally accepted and led to many
significant theories and practical studies. Even today
and to the consternation of many student geologists the
Gadolin classification is to be found worked out in many
mineralogical textbooks.

Roller &
Gadolin
GADOLIN, Johan. (BORN: Åbo near Helsingfors
(Helsinki), Finland, 5 June 1760; DIED: Wirmo,
Finland, 15 August 1852) Finnish chemist.
Son of astronomer and physicist Jacob Gadolin [1719-
1802]. For a time, Johann was a student of BERGMAN at the
University of Upsala. From 1786 to 1788, Johann traveled
outland to complete his studies and broaden his knowledge.
He became a docent at the University of Abo in 1789,
and following Gadd's death, he was appointed professor
of chemistry; a post he held until 1822. He specilized in
the analysis of rare earth elements, and is credited with
the discovery in 1794 of the element yttrium. Gadolin's
mineral collection was destroyed in 1827 by fire when the
Turku Academy burned down. Gadolin held membership
in the Academy of Science in Stockholm. The mineral
"Gadolinite" was name in his honor by M.H. Klaproth in
1802.

chemical products, and consequently investigated
through chemistry the minerals and rocks of his
country. At that time, very little was known of mineral
paragensis, but thanks to the publications of HaÜY
and Berzelius a new foundation in mineral chemistry
was being laid. In the Systema Fossilium, Gadolin
creates a system of mineral classification based upon
chemical principles. The introduction explains the
reasons and application of Gadolin's theories, while the
text is a systematic ordering of mineral species by their
chemistry. The volume concludes with an index of
mineral synonyms.

Rare. This is the earliest account of the varied
volcanic ejecta found at Vesuvius. It is a descriptive
catalog of 141 specimens contained in a mineralogical
cabinet, and provides observations on the different min-
erals and rocks, and a method of classification based
upon the degree of calcination of the specimen. Con-
tained at the end is a valuable early bibliography of
writings on Vesuvius.
The catalog gives details of the earliest mineralog-
ical cabinet to describe the various ejecta of Mount
Vesuvius and, together with GIOVANNI MARIA DELLA
Torre's Storia e Fenomeni del Vesúvio (Napoli, 1755),
provides the first ever descriptions of the volcano's min-
erals and rocks. It concludes with a 14 page biblio-
graphy of early works describing the volcano. In the
history of mineralogy, Vesuvius is by far the most im-
portant volcano, as it alone was accessible to scientists
in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Thus, it
was not only the source of rare and exceptionally beau-
tiful minerals, but also facilitated the development of
theories on mineral genesis. Later it was to become
the birthplace of theoretical and practical vulcanology,
when the world's first observatory was set up on the
mountain's slopes in 1845.

Galissard de Marignac
GALISSARD DE MARIGNAC, Jean-Charles. (Born:|
24 April 1817; DIED: 15 April 1894) French mineralogist
& chemist.
Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac from Geneva,
was a pupil of Liebig. It was in Liebig's Giessen laboratory
that de Marignac did his only researches on organic
chemistry, on naphthalene and phthalic acid. He then
changed to anorganic chemistry and commenced his carreer
as professor of chemistry first at the Academy of Geneva,
which was later to be made into the University.

Emile Ador [1845- ]. In 1878 Marignac was able
to show that the rare earth known as erbia, obtained
from gadolinite, could be decomposed into two oxides,
one for which the name erbia was retained and a
second which was called ytterbia. His most important
work, however, consisted in the determination of the
atomic weights of numerous elements, and in other
subjects of inorganic chemistry. These two volumes

contain his numerous papers on inorganic chemistry and
crystallography. In his most important, he showed that
fluostannates and fluosilicates are isomorphous, thus
establishing the formula of silica as Si02 and not Si03,
and this produced a revolution in chemical mineralogy.
His 111 published papers were handsomely
reprinted as Oeuvres completes with portrait and a
complete list of Marignacs atomic weights. When,
in 1860, Stas dismissed Prout's law as an "illusion",
Marignac cautioned that deviations from the law
of definite proportions might sometimes occur — a
possibility suggested by an erroneous view of the
composition of acids which he then held. More
speculatively, he suggested that Prout's law might be an
"Ideal" law which was subject to perturbing influences
such that the weights of the subatomic particles of
the primordial matter did not add up to exactly the
experimentally determined atomic weights. This daring
speculation was revived in 1915 by W. D. Harkins and
E. D. Wilson and from it the concept of the packing
fraction was developed by F. W. Aston in 1920.

RARE. This five volume series is an early and
important account of the Harz Mountains of Germany
emphasizing the natural history of the region. Mining
had occurred in the Harz since at least the 10th century
and these volumes describe the mineral resources of
the area including its copper, gold, silver and lead
mines and the techniques for processing metals from
their ores. Gatterer an instinctive bibliographer also
provides extensive citations to other works regarding
the Harz Mountains and mining in general. This work
also contains much on the local animals and plants of
the region. This appears to be a rare work especially in
complete sets.

Rare. The first portion is a general bibliography
of mineralogy, mining, minting, and salt containing
some minor biographical information. This part
originally appeared in 1785 but was very much
expanded and published again in 1787, and this is the
more common issue. In the meantime, the second part
focusing on the Harz region of Germany and its mining
bibliography was published in 1786. However, this work
was eclipsed by Gatterer's Allgemeines Repertorium
that is described in the next entry.

VERY RARE. One of the great bibliographies of
mineralogy and mining published in the eighteenth
century. Particularly useful for its completeness, the
bibliography's entries are broken into broad categories
of historical works, bibliographies, deterministic
mineralogy, crystallography, systems of classification,
monographs on specific species, and topographical.
Many of the entries contain references to contemporary
reviews as well as Gatterer's succinct comments about
the value of the listed title. Throughout the work liberal
use is made of cross referencing, and at the end of
volume two are extensive name and subject indexes.

Between 1883 and 1892, Gaubert was a student of
Milne Edwards and ALFRED LACROIX, when he studied in
Toulouse and Paris. From 1919 to 1920, he was professor
of mineralogy at the Ecole des Mines (School of Mines)
in Paris. But Gaubert's principle career began in 1893 as
préparateur assistant and director of the laboratory at the
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. He remained with
the Muséum until 1932. In 1909 and again in 1934, he was
elected president of the French Mineralogical Society.

Extremely rare, with only one copy known
so far. This prospectus advertises the upcoming
publication of d'Agoty's Histoire Naturelle and solicits
subscribers for the project [see next entry]. Included
are 8 engraved plates of minerals created by the Le
Blon/d'Agoty color printing process, and finished by
hand. In 1776, a royal permission was granted to
d'Agoty for the publication of a major work illustrating
in color the three kingdoms of natural history in realistic
depictions. This prospectus provides a sample of
the d'Agoty's vision. He writes in the preface that
black and white representations can not show minerals
realistically, therefore his Histoire Naturelle will utilize
printing in colors to convey nature authentically to
the reader. Minerals will be the subject of the first
portion, but will not go beyond 100 drawings, which
should be adequate to show all features of this realm
to subscribers. This prospectus is not listed in other
bibliographies, and only one copy is currently known to
exist.

PLATES: Common elements between all plates are
the double rule border surrounding the illustration and
the descriptive text. This border is sectioned into two
compartments. The larger top compartment is used to
display the mineral illustration, while the lower one is used
for a text in French that describes the plate's subject and
the collection from which the specimen came. The first
state of plates 1—30 are all signed in a fashion similar to
"Dessiné Gravé et Imprimé en Couleur par Fab. Gautier
d'Agoty. 5. e Fils." These same plates in second state are
not signed. Plates 31—40 are signed in a fashion similar to
"Desfontaines del, et diree. Bonvallet Sculp," while plates
41—70 are signed "Desfontaines del et sculp." The seventy
plate descriptions are as follows:

VERY RARE. This book is one of the finest coloried
mineralogies ever published. The process employed
in producing this work initially involved the direct
printing of primary colors on the plates, rather than the
then common practise of hand coloring. By successive
overprinting, each time with one of four different color
inks, an accurate portrayal of the minerals was achieved.
The process proves so successful within this volume,
that this work ranks among the very finest of the early
colored mineralogies ever published. Unfortunately for
the collector, this work must also be considered to be
among the very rarest of colored mineral books.
In 1776, Fabien was granted a Royal Permission to
print and sell a general Histoire Naturelle, which would
describe and illustrate the three realms of nature. The
1781 announcement and request for subscribers clearly
outlined his intentions for the work. It would commence
with a description of the mineral kingdom (Règne
Minéral), and would appear in 8-10 "cashiers," each
with ten plates (decades) and explanatory text by the
great French crystallographer, JEAN В АР TISTE LOUIS
ROME DE L'ISLE. Recommendations from mineralogists
would be sought on which specimens to illustrate so
that the reading public could gain a larger appreciation
for this kingdom of nature. However, due to the death
of d'Agoty soon after printing began, the publication
as it was envisioned was never finished. In fact, only
six or seven cashiers were published, and of these
only the first three were engraved, printed and sold
under Fabien's supervision. The remaining parts were
published by his widow, Madame Veuve d'Agoty, whose
name appears on the wrappers beginning with the
fourth issue. In her efforts to complete the book she was
assisted by François Louis SwEBACH Desfontaines
and Bonvallet both of whom designed and engraved
plates 31-40, while Desfontaines continued on alone
producing plates 50-70 that comprise the remainder of
the work.
Many references to the first four installments
appear in the second edition of Rome de l'Isle's
Cristallographie (4 vols., Paris, 1783). But after those
mentions the publishing history is obscure. The fact
that the majority of copies of this book contain forty
or less plates indicate the publication lapsed for some
time after the fourth decade was issued. Only a few
copies are known to contain plates 50-60, and only
the British Library Catalog lists a copy with seventy
plates, although no description text accompanies plates
61-70. The lack of descriptions with the plates may
indicate that the final installment was prepared after
Rome de l'Isle's death in 1790. One last tantilizing
clue appeared in the "Avertissement" to Desfontaine's
Manuel Cristallographie (Paris, 1792). There he
explains that he will complete a work begun by Rome de
l'Isle and of which seven decades had already appeared.
This is undoubtedly a reference to d'Agoty's work,
but alas Desfontaine's claim was never fulfilled, and
the last hope for continuing Fabien's remarkable book
evaporated.
There is strong indication that coloring the plates
by successive over printing probably caused tremendous
difficulties. Of the several copies of this work examined,
all contain a mixture of plates that are either color
printed or hand-colored. The process employed on
individual plates can be indentified by looking for the
four tiny pin holes at the corners of the color printed
plates that were used to register the paper on the press.
In addition, plates 1-40 that are known to have been
color printed, are also known in hand colored states.
Copies of this book with color print plates are the more
uncommon and more desireable to obtain.

French printer & publisher.
In his youth, Gauthier d'Agoty was probably trained
as an artist and engraver. He moved to Paris about 1736,
and became an apprentice to Jacques Christophe Leblon
[1670-1741] who had secured in 1737 an exclusive privilege
to use a three color printing process that he had invented.
In 1738 Gauthier struck out on his own and founded his own
printing and engraving operation that utilized a four color
process to improve the final renderings. Thus established
Gauthier produced color plates showing historical scenes,
landscapes, portraits, anatomical diagrams, flowers, and
other natural objects.

VERY RARE. The majority of these plates relate
to the anatomy of the humans. They were sold
separately by subscription and amounted to a total of
43 exquisitely colored depictions executed by Jacques
Gauthier d'Agoty and his son Arnaud Eloi Gauthier
d'Agoty [1741-1780]. The title indicates that one or
more plates are relevant to mineralogy, but no copy
of this work has been examined to authenticate this
supposition.

employed by the Japanese and Chinese. The present
title concentrates on the inorganic and mineralogical
objects and was published across two parts in 1878
and 1883 (it is not known if the other two realms
were ever published). Included are descriptions of the
minerals and mineral resources as they were known in
late nineteenth century China and Japan. The author
a chemist and prize winning mineral collector has relied
heavily on previous books to formulate the body of his
own work. His citations include ancient native works as
well as titles published since 1712 by European visitors.
Full historical descriptions are given of the ancient
oriental technologies for mining and the processing of
the recovered ores. Some of these are depicted on the
plates that show oriental figures at work mining and
milling ore as well as depictions of the ancient tools
used in mining. Mention is also made of the mineral
species known in the region. The work was published
in Yokohama, Japan by C. Levy who arrived in 1868,
founded a French language newspaper and printed small
press runs of works for the small group of Europeans
that were established in Japan.

GEIKE, Archibald. (BORN: Edinburgh, Scotland, 28
December 1835; DIED: Halsemere, Surrey, England, 10
November 1924) Scottish geologist.
In the early part of this century, one of the most
well known and respected geologists was Edinburgh-born
Archibald Geikie, expert on the processes of erosion. In
1855, Geike was appointed to the Geological Survey of
Great Britain under Murchison and ten years later was
elected to the prestigious Royal Society, also becoming the
first Director of the Scottish Geological Survey founded in
1867. Geikie's studies showed that rivers play a major
role in soil erosion and established him as the foremost
advocate of the fluvial theories of erosion. His best own
works include: The Scenery of Scotland (1865), Life of
Sir R. J. Murchison (1875, Test-Book of Geology (1882),
The Founders of Geology (1897), The Ancient Volcanoes of
Great Britain (1897) and Outlines of Field Geology (1876),
most of which have remained in general use, having been
reissued at various dates.

SCARCE. One of the best histories of geology
and accompanying sciences ever published in the English
language. It recounts the story of the progress of geological
ideas by reviewing the careers of some of the leaders
by whom the progress was chiefly effected, giving full
consideration to the lives and work of these major figures,
and indicating in the process how geological ideas arose
and were slowly worked out into the forms which they now
wear. Some of the men whose careers and contributions
are examined are Palissy, Guettard, Desmarest, Pallas, De
Saussure, Arduino, Lehmann, Fuchsel, Werner, Hutton,
Playfair, Sir James Hall, Giraud-Soulavie, Cuvier, Michell,
Lyell, Logan, Darwin, Agassiz, Nicol, and others.
The author discusses such matters as geological ideas
among the Greeks and Romans; growth of geological ideas
in the Middle Ages; scientific cosmogonists- Descartes and
Leibnitz; the rise of geology in France; the foundation of
volcanic geology; the rise of geological travel; the history of
the doctrine of geological succession; the Wernerian school
of geology; the rise of the modern conception of the theory
of the earth; the birth of experimental geology; the rise
of stratigraphical geology and paleontology; early teachers
and textbooks; the transition or Greywacke formation
resolved into the Cambrian, Silurian and Devonian
systems; the primordial fauna of Barrande; the pre-
Cambrian rocks first begun to be set in order; the influence
of Darwin; adoption of zonal stratigraphy of fossiliferous
rocks; the rise of glacial geology; the development of
geological map-making in Europe and North America; the
rise of petrographical geology; and other related topics.

GELLERT, Christlieb Ehregott. (Born: Haynichen
near Freiberg, Germany, 11 August 1713; DIED:
Freiberg, Germany, 18 May 1795) German chemist &
metallurgist.
Brother of a famous German poet. Gellert studied at
Meissen and Leipzig. From 1736 through 1737, he worked
as an instructor at the Gymnasium in Petersburg, then
he became adjunct at the Akademie der Wissenschaften
until 1746. In 1747 he settled in the mining town of
Freiberg he held several positions related to the mining
and metallurgical industry. At the founding of the
BergAkademie in 1765, he was appointed professor of
metallurgy and chemistry. Gellert introduced the process
of cold extraction of precious metals by the use of mercury,
a works (the largest of the time) being built in at Halsbruck
in 1790.

VERY SCARCE. Second greatly enlarged edition
of this very popular work on metallurgical and
mineralogical chemistry. It includes the addition of a
second volume titled Anfangsgründe zur Probierkunst,
which provides an introduction to assaying techniques.
In this work he modified Geoffrey's affinity table by
having a table of 28 columns of symbols in which
substances having the least affinity with the substance
at the head of the column ar put on top, i.e. the reverse
of Geoffrey's order. In this work on the density of alloys
he showed that this may be greater or less than the
calculated by the mixture rule; it was mostly greater.
Gellert attributes this to the exisitance of pores in the
metals. He also experimented the magnetism of alloys
of iron.

VERY SCARCE. Translation by John Seiferth [fl.
1775] from the first volume only of Anfangsgründe zur
metallurgischen Chymie (Leipzig, 1751-5). This remarkable
and highly valued work is one of the most comprehensive
textbooks written in the 18th century. It provides
interesting details on many theoretical and practical
subjects related to mineralogy and chemistry. Geliert wrote
it partially as a duty of his office as assayer in Freiberg and
partially because no other treatise sufficiently covered its
subject. The text is divided into 2 parts. The first concerns
theoretical matters and includes what is essentially a
textbook of mineralogy, including discussions of minerals
in general, and the classification of species into Earths,
Stones, Salts, Phlogiston, Metals, Semi-Metals, Ores and
Mineral Earths and Waters. Other theoretical sections
describe chemical agents such as fire, air, water and earth,
chemical apparatus, and chemical manipulation derived
from numerous previous authors. Practical considerations
are covered in the second part of the text. Here 97
experiments are described in detail, and events such as
the extraction of salts and solutions from vegetables,
manufacture of nitre, salt ammoniac, vitriol, alum and
various acids are covered. Throughout the entire work,
Geliert has infused the text with practical observations
based on his own experience.

GENTH, Frederich August Ludwig Karl Wilhelm.
(BORN: Wachtersbach, Hess— Cassei, Germany, 17 May
1820; DIED: Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia, U.S.A., 2
February 1893) German chemist & mineralogist.
Genth attended the University of Marburg, 1845-
1848. Thereafter he emigrated to the U.S.A., finding
employment as a mining geologist throughout much of
his career. In 1872, he became professor of chemistry at
the University of Pennsylvania. He remained there until
1888. He was appointed the chief chemist and mineralogist
of the second Pennsylvania Geological Survey. Genth's
research focused on rare minerals and meteorites, and he
eventually described 23 new mineral species. He advertised
his mineral collection for sale, but this was eventually
given, bequeathed or purchased by Pennsylvania State
University.

Etienne François Geoffroy
GEOFFROY, Etienne François. (Born: Paris,
France, 13 February 1672; DlED: Paris, France, 6
January 1731) French apothecary & chemist.
Geoffroy weis the fifth generation of a prominent
family of Parisian apothecaries that extended back to
1584. He learned the trade from his father, and was
further inspired by the many scientists that visited the
family residence. He attended the University in Montpellier
where he attended courses at the medical school without
matriculating. Returning to Paris in 1694, he became a
master apothecary, later turning his attention to the study
of medicine. He earned the bachelor's degree in Paris in
1702, and eventually graduated M.D. at Paris in 1704.
This was followed by a succession of positions at a number
of institutions around Paris: 1707, demonstrator at the
Jardin du Roi. 1709-1731, professor of medicine at the
Collège Royal. 1712, lecturer in chemistry at the Jardin
du Roi. 1712-1730, professor of chemistry at the Jardin du
Roi. 1715, pensionnaire chemist the the Académie. 1726/7-
1728/9, dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine.

1821) was the founder and professor of mineralogy and
mining sciences at the Berlin Mining Academy (Berliner
Bergakademie). He rose to privy councillor for finance,
war, and crown lands in Prussia and later became com-
missary for the administration of mines and smelting
works and was appointed councillor for mining in 1779.
A member of many scientific societies, Gerhard wrote
chiefly on mineralogy, but he also considered geology,
medicine, botany, natural history, and chemistry. He
devised in 1786 a new mineralogical system, outlined in

Grundiss des Mineralsystems zu Vorlesungen in which
he stressed chemical composition. - A polymath and a
collector, Gerhard built an important collection of min-
erals and other curiosities of nature. These were de-
posited in the Academy in 1781 in return for a pension.
They formed the core of the Academy's holdings, were
extensively used, and were generously supplemented by
other collectors. Today, his minerals and his archive are
preserved in the Berlin Institute for Mineralogy.

mineral species to determine its placement within the
classification. Three appendices follow the descriptive
mineralogy. The first on pages 281—287 deals with
newly discovered species and those minerals not yet

GERSAINT, Edme François. (Born: Paris, France,
1694; DIED: Paris, France, 24 March 1750) French
antiquarian, art collector & dealer.
On Gersaint's marriage in 1718 to Marie-Louise Sirois
[1698-1725] he came within the circle of Antoine Watteau's
closest friends and this determined his future life. Just
prior to his marriage, Gersaint had purchased the stock and
business of the painter and dealer Antoine Dieu; however,
a few days after he took possession, the building and
its contents were destroyed by fire. Although this must
have been a set back, Gersaint continued and through his
connections with the artists of Paris was quickly able to
build his stock back up. He soon became one of the best
known art dealers of the eighteenth century. By the early
1730's, Gersaint had developed interests in shells, minerals,
lacquer and porcelain. He made several journeys during the
1730s to the Netherlands in search of stock. This resulted
in a series of catalogues of the curiosities, as well as prints
and drawings, which he offered for sale. Gersaint took an
early interest in the etchings of Rembrandt, of which his
catalogue raisonné was published posthumously in 1751.

Rare. Ostensibly a sale catalog of the author's
natural history collection, but actually a pocket-

observations on shells, a list of the principle cabinets
of shells in France and Holland, and at pages 30-45 a
bibliography of the more important conchological titles.
It was published after the author had returned to Paris
from an extended trip throughout Holland. Although
principally on shells, the list of cabinets contains some
useful information for the history of mineralogy as it
pertains to the natural history cabinets.

VERY RARE. Comté Joseph Bonnier de la Mosson
[see note below], a wealthy amateur, was the owner
of one of the most famous collections of natural
history objects and scientific instruments. This sale
catalog lists 966 lots with brief descriptions, including
illustrated books and works of art. Among the
different sections of the scientific collections may be
mentioned the following: Cabinet d'Anatomie (pages
1-4), Cabinet de Chimie ou Laboratorie (pages 5-
16), Cabinet de Pharmacie (pages 11-18), the natural
history cabinet containg mostly minerals (pages 54-82),
and the Cabinet de Mécanique et de Physique (pages 83-
172), in which 222 scientific instruments and machines
are listed and described in detail, including descriptions
of many microscopes and a whole treatise on telescopes
(pages 116-20).
Comté Joseph Bonnier de la Mosson. (BORN:
Montpellier, France, 6 September 1702; DIED: Paris,
France, 26 July 1744) French financier, patron and collector.
In 1726 Bonnier resigned from a successful military career
in order to succeed his father as treasurer for the Etats du
Languedoc. Bonnier divided his time between Paris and
Montpellier. He built a very large collection of natural
history objects, including minerals. A major portion of
this accumulation was ultimately acquired by the Natural
History Museum in Paris.

RARE. Auction catalog of Quentin de Lorangère
[see note below]. The sale took place 2 March
1744 and days thereafter. This is one of the most
important catalogs prepared by the prolific Gersaint
and is innovative is several ways. Besides the substanial
descriptions of the collection objects, he has included
biographies of several artists. In addition, the catalog
also includes the most complete list of the work of the
French artist and engraver, Jacques Callot [1592-1635],
including prints not included in the sale.
The collection was notable for its fine paintings,
drawings and prints. The drawings were mainly Dutch
and Flemish, including numerous landscapes, or French.
Also included were a group of almost 500 drawings by
Claude Gillot. The prints represented a comprehensive
survey of the Northern, Italian and French schools.
Also included in this catalog are his collections of
illuminations, books, shells, corals, atlases and maps,
and natural history objects including a few minerals.
Quentin de Lorangère. (BORN: ; DIED: Paris,
France?, before March 1744) French patron & collector.
French art patron and collector. Quentin is only known
through the sale of his collections, which began in Paris on
2 March 1744. He had been a collector for some time, as
Gersaint records that he had sold his own extensive shell
collection to Quentin in 1737.

VERY SCARCE. Collection catalog of M. le
Chevalier de La Roque's [see note below] collections.
La Roque was enthusiastic for the visual arts as
expressed in his eclectic collection, which is described
in some detail in this sales catalogue. Gersaint was
among his circle of friends and he has written a fine
catalogue of the collections. In addition to paintings,
there are also described line drawings, prints, bronzes,
sculptures, porcelain, lacquer, diamonds, semi-precious
stones, engraved gems, shells, corals, books, and maps.
Many of the 300 pictures are the product of Dutch
and Flemish masters including several by Rubens and
Rembrandt. The precious stones, agates, engraved
gems and coral are described on pages 109-162.
Included are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds,
topaz, oriental amethyst, turquoise, opal, etc.
Chevalier Antoine de la Roque. (BORN: Marseille,
Franch, 1672; DIED: Paris, France, October 1744) French
dramatist, jouranalist & poet. French soldier, dramatist,
journalist, poet and collector. La Roque was the son
of a family of successful merchants, and travelled widely
in France and abroad, including Constantinople and the
Levant. He fought in the War of the Spanish Succession,
losing a leg at the Battle of Malplaquet (1709), for which he
was awarded a pension by Louis XIV. He knew many artists
and writers, having himself composed several operas. In
1721 he became associated with the semi-official periodical,
Merure de France, of which he became owner and publisher
in 1724.

VERY RARE. Posthumous auction sale catalog
of Claude- Joseph Geoffroy 's [see note below] natural
history cabinet, listing 597 lots of minerals, crystals,
petrifications, shells, corals, and other curiosities of
nature, which was one of the more important 18th
century cabinets. According to Lugt, the sale took
place after 5 February 1754 and following days. Since
this catalogue appeared several years after Gersaint's
death, it is likely that it was prepared years before and
updated by Geoffroy as new objects were added. "Les
Pètrificaitons, les Pierres fines, &õ les Crystaux forment
une belle suite; mais surtout celle des Mines est très
riche, &¿ l'on y reconnaît le goût du Possesseur de ce
Cabinet, pour la Minéralogieet la Chymie" (Preface).
Claude-Joseph Geoffroy. (BORN: Paris, France, 8
August 1685; DIED: Paris, France, March 1752) French
botanist & chemist. Geoffroy was born into an important
family of Parisian apothecaries, which is the profession he
followed. Through his profession he became a competant
botanist and when chemistry attracted his attention, he
persued the study with intensity. He was elected a member
to the class of chemistry in the Royal Academy of Sciences
in Paris on 7 December 1715.

GESNER, Abraham. (BORN: Cornwallis Township,
Nova Scotia, 1797; DlED: Halifax, Nova Scotia, 29 April
1864) Canadian geologist.
Early on Gesner developed an interest in geology.
After he studied medicine in London, he returned to
Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, setting up a medical practice and
in his spare time he collected fossils from the area. It is said
Gesner often gathered specimens on his way to and from
house calls, and built up an extensive collection. In 1838,
he became the first government geologist in a British colony
when appointed Provincial Geologist of New Brunswick. In
an effort to combat a serious personal debt, in April 1842
he opened the first museum in Canada, "Gesner Museum" ,
where he charged admission to view his private collection.
His creditors eventually took over his collection in lieu
of payment, however. In 1890, it was acquired by the
Natural History Society of New Brunswick and added to
the New Brunswick Natural History Museum in St John
as the core of the museum. Gesner then immigrated to
the United States where he developed and patented a
process for manufacturing kerosene, for which he is still
famous. Gesner was invited back to Dalhousie University,
Nova Scotia, as a professor of chemistry, but died shortly
thereafter.

SCARCE. The first serious and methodical survey
of the geological and mineralogical resources of Nova
Scotia. Gesner, a surgeon who wrote on geological
subjects, did much if not all of the footwork for
this study himself. Gesner includes both commercial
subjects such as clays and coals, granites, marbles,
copper and such, and also semi-precious stones and

gems. The nicely colored map was not originally
planned for- "It was not intended, when the Prospectus
of this Work was written, to give a Geological Map of
the Province, or any pictorial illustrations of its scenery;
but from the general support the book has received, a
map has been prepared, at a considerable additional
expense.". He divides the country into four districts
and discusses each in turn, as well as providing a concise
introduction to the sciences of geology and mineralogy,
including explanations of the competing theories of this
still-developing field. Plates: frontispiece of Farrsboro
as seen from the harbor, a folding colored map of Nova
Scotia, with the tipped-in explanation; a lithographed
plate of Cape Split.

Gesner
GESNER, Conrad. (BORN: Zurich, Switzerland, 26
March 1516; DIED: Zurich, Switzerland, 13 December
1565) Swiss polymath.
Gesner received a classical education at Strasbourg,
Bourges, Paris and Basel. He became professor of Greek,
at the University of Lausanne, 1537—40. Gesner furthered
his education by studying medicine at Montpellier and
Basel, finally receiving his M.D. from the later in 1541.
Became lecturer in Zurich, 1546—67, as well as city
physician from 1554. Gesner was a Renaissance scholar,
who applied himself to medicine, linguistics, theology,
bibliography, geology, zoology, and botany. His many and
important botanical and zoological publications brought
Gesner wide recognition and a reputation as one of the
greatest naturalists of the sixteenth century. Gesner's
Bibliotheca Universalis (Zurich, 1545), that lists all Hebrew,
Greek, and Latin books known to him in 20 volumes,
earned him the title, "Father of Bibliography."

VERY SCARCE, perhaps rare in complete copies.
This very important sixteenth century work is a
collection of eight separate tracts most with their own
title page by seven authors all edited and several
with commentary by Gesner. The volume contains
an early illustrated work that deals solely with fossils,
metals, minerals, and gems, as well as the earliest
catalog of a mineral collection. Therefore, this work
had a substantial rôle to play in the development of
mineralogy and gemology.
The printing history of this collected work is a
difficult bibliographic problem. Each of the included
works is known to exist as its own separate volume,
including Kentman's Catalogvs, which does not have a
title page. Furthermore, complete collections of these
tracts as described here are a rarity. Usually, defects
are present in one or more of the individual works,
or sometimes complete sections are absent from the
collection. This suggests that the collected volume
was assembled from the remaining stock of the various
treatises by the publisher. Below are given the details of
the individual works that are contained in the volume.

8°: [a5v]-[a8v] A-M 8 ; 99.5f.; [3.5], 96 f., last folio
blank. The half leave is a result of the work starting on
the verso of leave a5.
This early catalog describes the "fossils" or
"things dug from the earth" collected by JOHANNES
Kentmann. Although some petrified remains of animal
and plants are included in the descriptions, it is
essentially a portrait of a fifteenth century mineral
collection. This treatise is therefore the earliest work
to catalog mineralogical items in their own right.
The text gives a detailed inventory of 1,608
individual specimens, with an unusual feature for the
period of providing accurate locality information for
each sample described. As would be expected, over
1,100 of the specimens originated from the region
around Saxony where Kentmann flourished. Yet a
suprising aspect are the 472 specimens described as
having come from foreign lands. This indicates the
vigor and great expense Kentmann used to acquire
material for his ever growing collection. Unfortunately,
none of the specimens was illustrated. However, a
major novelty of the work was a woodcut illustration of
the actual mineral cabinet used to store the collection.
The picture shows thirteen drawers that were used
to segragate the specimens. This closely follows the
method of classification outlined in the text.
The system devised by the author is based
principally on the work of GEORG AGRÍCOLA, but
modified and enlarged upon Gesner's insistance. It
consists of twenty- six major divisions with headings
such as earths, stones, flourites, hard-bodied minerals,
marbles, ores of gold, silver, copper and lead, pyrites,
antimony, iron, etc. Each division was then subdivided
according to the kind of species. For example, this
separation included male and female loadstone, which
respectively, attracted or repeled iron particles. A good
modern translation and analysis of Kentmann's work is
provided in Prescher, H., J. Helm and G. Fraustadt,
"Johannes Kentmanns Mineralienkatalog, aus dem
Jahre 1565," Abhandlungen des Staatlichen Museums für
Mineralogie und Geologie zu Dresden, 30 (1980), 5-152.

One of the earliest treatises on amber containing
in its first section strange religious references while the
second section describes the origin of amber based upon
earlier writers. In the first part, Goebel attributes the
many forms, shapes, and inclusions of amber to divine
influence and proclaims it to be proof of Christianity.
In the second part, he believes amber to be a type
of hardened bituminous petroleum, formed inside the
earth and subsequently bleed out to the sea floor.

Cordus' postumonus work for which Gesner
wrote the preface and commentary. This monograph
examines "efflorescences" of salt found floating on the
sea, which had come to the notice of ancients Galen
and Dioscorides. They prescribed it for relief from skin
diseases. Gesner in his commentary which is as long as
the treatise itself, refutes the popular belief that these
salts were the sperm of whales, and instead attributes
the phenomena to salt crystals falling out of the brine
solution. A curious medical and mineralogical treatise,
with an amusing link to whales.

This treatise considers the twelve gemstones
contained in the breastplate of Aaron, the High Priest
of the Jews and founder of the Jewish priesthood. It is
perhaps the earliest printed work to treat the subject,
although many earlier manuscripts existed. It is in
the form of a letter from Ephphanius to his friend,
Diodorus, Bishop of Tyre, and discusses the jewels set
in the breastplate (Exodus 28, 17—20). These stones
are: sard, topaz, emerald, carbuncle, sapphire, jasper,
lyncurius, agate, amethyst, chrysolite, beryl and onyx.
Appended is a short essay describing Biblical mentions
of the diamond. Gesner 's commentary at the conclusion
discusses the stones, with a diagram showing their
positions. Sinkankas (1993) for a list of other editions.

This lapidary is the second edition of a work first
published at Paris in 1547. The first book describes
the origin of gemstones, their virtuous properties, the
reasons behind their powers citing numerous earlier
writers as authorities, but always stressing that God
has the ability to impart such phenomena to stones.
The second book is descriptive in nature, treating the
characteristics and physical and mystical properties
of individual gemstones, including jasper, sapphire,
ruby, emerald, beryl, topaz, opal, amber, diamond,
etc. Thorndike considers the work to be "... a
compendium of past lore with little or nothing in
the way of personal observation or classification."
Sinkankas (1993) provides a description of the other
editions.

This work is especially interesting as presenting
a picture of the mineral kingdom as seen from the
viewpoint of the greatest naturalist of his time. It
marks a deliberate departure from earlier medieval
lapidaries in that little or no comment is made of the
miraculous virtues attributed to minerals. Instead,
Gesner describes the characters by which they may be
identified. Gesner writes that this work was written
rapidly for his own pleasure and recreation and that a
more detailed treatment would follow, so that students
would be stimulated and encouraged to study minerals,

fossils and stones. However, Gesner died of plague
shortly after this treatise was published, and the larger
work never appeared.
Gesner writes that De Rerum Fossilium is the first
work on its subject to be illustrated by cuts and figures.
Adams (1938) notes this is substantially correct,
although the four illustrations in CHRISTOPH ENZELT's
De Re Metallica (1st ed., Frankfort, 1551) predate
it. In addition, the lapidary portions of the early
herbáis, especially the Hortus Santias (1st ed., 1491)
were commonly illustrated with cuts, sometimes hand-
colored. Gesners work though is the first to contain
such a large number of mineralogical illustrations to
facilitate the commentary of the text. He hoped that
the illustrations in the book would assist students and
then refers to the difficulty which he experienced in
giving adequate representations of the minerals and
rocks as compared to the animals and plants.
Gesner deviates from almost all previous authors
on minerals by presenting his description of minerals
not as an alphabetical list, but in a true system of
classification. In his numerous other writings on plants
and animals, he always attempted to classify natural
objects in an organized heirarchy. When his attention
was turned to minerals, he faced a difficult problem.
There was no well defined and recognized form by
which the natural objects from the earth could be
classified. Furthermore, the fossilized remains of plants
and animals were at the time not differentiated from
true minerals. Gesners solution to the problem was
quaint and interesting. He writes in the dedicatory
epistle that he was unwilling to adopt an alphabetical
arrangement as most earlier writers had done because
he considered the method to be trivial. In the present
work, he intends to present a method that draws upon
the form of the substance being described, which is why
the illustrations were included. By this method, the
classification will follow in the steps of nature, and will
by the same measure reveal her secrets.
First taking the simplest of forms of fossils, or
those that resemble lines, angles, circles or allied shapes
as seen in the heavens or in the elements, Gesner will
pass on to consider forms of ever greater complexity,
descending as it were by degrees from heaven to the
earth. Using this methodology Gesners classification
consists of 15 distinct classes. Class 1 contain those
fossils that suggest points, lines and angles. Included
are all transparent and translucent minerals, bodies like
pumice whose surface depressions are usually rounded
in shape, asbestos, natrolite because of their fiberous
nature, quartz, pyrite because of their regular angles.
Class 2 consider items whose name is derived from some
heavenly body or from one of the Aristotelian elements.
Included are moonstone, aquamarine, and opal. Class
3 are those that take their name from something in the
sky. This embraces all fossil Echinoderms as well as
Neolithic stone axes and other weapons. Class 4 are
those named after terrestrial objects, like chrysolite,
lead and other metallic ores. Class 5 resemble certain
artificial things like belemnites (for darts). Class 6
are artificial items made from metals, stones or gems.
Included are mariners compass and lead pencils (first
pictured in this work). Class 7 resemble plants and
herbs. Class 8 are those that have the form of shrubs,
like coral. Class 9 resemble trees or portions of trees,
such as petrified wood and coal plants. Class 10
Corals. Class 11 are other sea plants that have become
stone. Class 12 bear resemblance to men or four footed
animals. Native silver because of its hair like form,
hematite carnelian, blood stone because of it similarity
to blood. Class 13 consist of stones derived from the
names of birds. Class 14 resemble things that live in
the sea, such as glossoptera (fossil shark teeth). Class
15 have the form of insects or serpents. Included
are ammonites, ophites and others, as well as insects
included in amber. Interestingly, Gesner considers those
items that resemble the fossilized remains of animals
to be just that, while other fossils of less distinct
form are not. The observations outlined in this work
were derived from Gesners own keen mind, while the
depictions of the various items were probably derived
from specimens contained in his own collection.

VERY SCARCE. The dedication praises the Royal
Dublin Society for allowing Giesecke the opportunity to
prepare this catalog of the society's mineral collection.
The system chosen for arranging the species is based
upon external characters. With the addition of a
separate tract on Irish mineralogy that lists those
minerals that had so far been discovered in Ireland, it
is clear that this Catalogue was also intended to help
promote the study of mineralogy in the country. The
collection was merged with the museums of natural
history and industry in 1877 to form the present day
National Museum of Ireland.

Gr ni. Bd. 35.] Very scarce.
GILBERT (Gilberd), William. (Born: Colchester,
England, 1544 not 1540; DIED: London, England?,
30 November 1603) English physicist & natural
philosopher. .
Gilbert was born the son of a well-to-do town official
He attended St. John College, Cambridge, from 1558
to 1570 (B.A., 1561, M.A., 1564, M.D., 1569). While
attending Cambridge he became a Junior Fellow of St.
Johns in 1561. He was the mathematics examiner in
the college, 1565-6 and bursar, 1569-70. He became a
Senior Fellow in 1569. Although no one knows, it seems
likely that Gilbert devoted the decade after his graduation
to the study of magnetism. During this period he was
supported through inheritances. In late 1507 he established
a successful medical practice, becoming one of London's
most prominent physicians. From 1600 to 1603, he was
one of the personal physicians to Elizabeth I, for which he
received a stipend of $100 from the Royal Treasury. Before
Gilbert's death he was also physician to James I.

RARE. The first major English scientific treatise
based on experimental methods of research and the
foundation work of magnetism and electrical science.
Gilbert uses here for the first time the terms
"electricity," "electric force," and "electric attraction."
Book I "deals with the history of magnetism from
the earliest legends about the lodestone to the facts
and theories known to Gilbert's contemporaries... In
the last chapter of book I, Gilbert introduced his
new basic idea which was to explain all terrestrial
magnetic phenomena: his postulate that the earth is a
giant lodestone and thus had magnetic properties... The
remaining five books of the De magnete are concerned
with the five magnetic movements: coition, direction,
variation, declination, and revolution. Before he began
his discussion of coition, however, Gilbert carefully
distinguished the attraction due to the amber effect
from that caused by the lodestone. This section,
chapter 2 of book II, established the study of the amber
effect as a discipline separate from that of magnetic
phenomena, introduced the vocabulary of electrics,
and is the basis for Gilbert's place in the history of
electricity. "-D.S. В .

G imma studied jurisprudence at the University of
Naples. He published a large number of works that he
authored or editid on a wide selection of learned subjects.
Canonical Abbot and, great sacred history student
and literature, to single vent' years had already completed
the course of philosophy and jurisprudence to the university
of Naples. The Academy of the Spensierati (Incuriosi)
of Rossano founded then in the 1695, but it refused the
academic career offertagli near the university of Padova
and Torino in order to dedicate itself to erudite and eclectic
studies. A its great completed enciclopédico job between
1690 and 1693 is remained unknown. In 1700 taken
the orders sacred and was name canonical of the Barium

VERY SCARCE. First and only edition of this
magnificent work, which is a summation of all that
was worth knowing at the time of minerals and
gemstones. Adams considered it a guide book to the
maze of ancient literature of the geological sciences.
It is divided into six books. The first describes
gemstones and their precious nature together with
extensive references. Other discussions include color,
phosphoresence, luminescence, virutes, pricing and fake
gemstones. The second book considers the precious
stones like diamond, emerald, sapphire, ruby and
others. The third describes stones of lesser value and
the fourth discusses stones derived from organic sources
such as calculi, boazoar and other like stones. The fifth
book describes marbles, mosaics, piètre dure inlays and
many other similar examples. The sixth book is largely
on earths of various kinds.

characters are considered followed by a discussion of the
chemical composition of minerals. A review is given of
the previous mineral classifications of Hausmann, Haiiy,
Beudant, Bronigart, and Berzelius. The descriptive
mineralogy then commences and this is carried though
most of volume two. A section describing the metals
in relation to mineralogy and a table of the crystalline
forms of artifical chemicals close out the work.

SCARCE. Co-authored with HENRY LECOQ. After a
long introduction, the text of volume one begins with
a description of the physical characters of minerals.
Then chemical characters are considered, with a detailed
examination of how chemistry may be successfully applied
to mineralogy. Based upon the theories of Berzelius
[q.v.], a general scheme for classifying minerals with a
discussion of its underlying principles is then presented.
Included is an overview of mineralogical nomenclature. The
descriptive mineralogy then commences and completes the
first volume. Volume two continues and concludes the
descriptive mineralogy. Two long sections about géognosie
and metallurgy complete the text. A subject index to both
volumes finishes the book.

Glauber
GLAUBER, Johann Rudolf. (Born: Karlstadt,
Germany, 1604; DIED: Amsterdam, The Netherlands,
10 March 1670) German chemist.
Glauber was self-taught with minimal formal
training. He built a chemical laboratory in his house,
designing special furnaces and other apparatus for it. He
was the author of numerous works in chemistry. He is
remembered for his discovery of "sal mirabile" (sodium
sulfate or Glauber's salt) in the water of a mineral spring.
He introduced it as a cure-all remedy. Glauber also
prepared other substances and chemical compounds and
sold them for medical purposes. He recognized that all
mercury compounds are poisonous.

Glauber (1603-1668) apparently self-taught, read
books on alchemy, experimented, and conversed with others
to educate himself. "After many years of travel, study,
and experiment, during which he acquired an extensive
knowledge of chemistry, pharmacy, geology, mineralogy,
and technology, Glauber in 1646 went to Holland; he settled
in 1648 in Amsterdam, where he had a large laboratory,
called a 'Hermetic Institute'..." Partington, 341. The "Furni
Novi" is Glauber's most famous work and his first, "This
is certainly one of the most remarkable books on chemistry
of the seventeenth century," Ferguson. It "...contains most
of his important chemical discoveries," Partington. The
work on potable gold was Glauber's first published treatise
and in it he stated that it, "...is next to the philosopher's
stone the most outstanding of all medicines, and that
there is no difference between them." Thorndike VII,201.

VERY SCARCE. Translation of original German
work: Operis mineralis. One of Glauber's most
important works, the Operis Mineralis discusses all
manner of phenomena associated with minerals and the
earth. On the origin of ore deposits, Glauber is of
the opinion that if this is not the actual lake of fire
prepared for sinners the latter must at least be situated
somewhere in the immediate vicinity. He also discusses
of the arrangement of the metallic veins in the earth
resembling a tree with its branches growing up from the
center of the earth. He believed that base metals were
continuously transforming to the nobler metals, going
continuously forward in time, which in the course of
time will result in the final passage to gold. Therefore,
when miners found some other mineral substance other
than gold, for example bismuth or tin, they have opened
up an immature mineral vein. Glauber goes on to
observe that if an ore body which has not been worked
for some years is again opened that the exposure of
the mineral veins to air causes one to frequently find an
abundance of silver. It was the believe of the alchemists
that the transformation from baser to nobler metals
was indeed occurring in the earth's crust when the
conditions were favorable. It was the alchemist's goal
to recreate those conditions in the laboratory, but to
cause the reaction to change more rapidly.

VERY SCARCE. Glauber was born at Karlstadt,
Germany, and was largely self- educated, visiting
laboratories in Paris, Basel, Salzburg, and Vienna where
he studied chemistry and alchemy. He was, for a. short
time after 1635, court apothecary in Giessen. He then
settled in Amsterdam where he remained for most of the
rest of his life. There he invented furnaces for distilling,
and established an elaborate laboratory containing many
devices of his own creation. He called himself a chemical
philosopher and was a prolific writer. In his later years
he leaned more to the extreme edges of alchemy and
left off much of his laboratory work. In his mineralogy
Glauber was most expert with salts, believing that the
sun's power was carried to the earth in an aerial salt. In
OPERIS MINERALIS he theorized about the sun's rays
being concentrated in the earth to produce metals. His
FURNI NOVI PHILOSOPHICI, first published 1646-49,
the second work included here, is among his most famous
writings. It is a work on the design and use of furnaces
for distilling, extending greatly the numbers and types of

materials that could be distilled. Ferguson calls it "one of
the most remarkable books on chemistry of the seventeenth
century." Glauber tended to bring more specific chemistry
into alchemy than his predecessors had done, yet in much
of his thinking he was still an alchemist of the traditional
type. Foxed throughout, some pages browned, otherwise a

complete introduction to mineralogy, geology and
paleontology. The introduction gives reasons for
the study of mineralogy as well as a short, but
valuable history of the subject. This is followed
by a good bibliography of the best literature of
mineralogy, crystallography, geology and palaeontology
available at the time. Glocker then provides an
interesting discussion of the value of mineralogy.
General mineralogical topics are then covered, including
crystallography, physical and chemical properties (pp.
34-233). A second part is a long, detailed descriptive
mineralogy (pp. 235-698). General geological principles
are discussed beginning at page 699, including a specific
discussion of petrified remains.

RARE. In his work entitled Generum et Specierum
Mineralium Synopsis Glocker provides a synopsis of his
systematic classification of minerals and gives many
new chemical analysis of the species. The book is also
one of the most extensive attempts at a systematic
nomenclature that has been made in mineralogy. He
uses in general a Latinized form of the common name
for the name of each species, with some descriptive
word added. For varieties he adds a third word, as
is common in other branches of natural history For
instance, under Granatus, garnet, Glocker gives three
species: 1st, Granatus nobilis, precious garnet; 2d,
Granatus. hyacinthinus, cinnamon garnet; and 3d,
Granatus vulgaris, common garnet, and under the latter
he uses for varieties the terminations fuscus, niger,
viridis, flavus, and albidus. The work is in Latin, thus
going back to the style of the scientific books of the
previous centuries, which no doubt contributed to his
contemporaries, for the most part, to ignore Glocker's
ideas.

SCARCE. In this introduction to the mineralogical
science, Gmelin concentrates on the systematic compo-
nent. The text begins with a brief review of definitions,
and then proceeds to a systematic representation of the
known minerals. This classification is based largely on
external characteristics with some chemical information
included.

May 1755) German chemist & mineralogist.
Gmelin was a member of a large scientifically inclined
family. He accepted a lectureship at the Academy of
Sciences in St. Petersburg in 1730 and in 1731 was
promoted to professor of chemistry and natural sciences.
In 1733 he was recruited as part of the scientific corps
to accompany a trans-Siberian expedition. He proceeded
as far as Yakutsk observing the natural history of Sibera.
Several maps are included in his report including this
description of the Arctic coast.

VERY SCARCE. In 1733 he was recruited as part
of the scientific corps to accompany a trans-Siberian
expedition. He proceeded as far as Yakutsk observing
the natural history of Sibera. Several maps are included
in his report including this description of the Arctic
coast. Gmelin compiled in his four-volume Reise
durch Sibirien, written after his return to Tubingen in
1747. This was was the most comprehensive botanical,
zoological, geological, topographical, and ethnographic
survey of Siberia published up to that time. Gmelin
ignored the Academy of Sciences' prohibition against
publishing anything about the expedition without
special permission, apparently feeling that he could
write whatever he pleased since he was back on German
soil. His critical comments about the Chancellery's
role in the Kamchatka expedition and his graphic
descriptions of some of the seamy sides of Siberian
life were shocking and embarrassing to the Russian
government. Describes an extensive trip through
Siberia, including observations on natural history and
mining.
"One of the earliest accounts of Bering's voyage
to the Northwest mainland" - Howes. Gmelin was the
botanist attached to Vitus Bering's second expedition.
He went to eastern Siberia in 1733 as part of the
imperial Russian scientific expedition which included
Gerhard M?ller and astronomer Louis DeLisle. Their
original intention was to sail with Bering on his voyage
of northeast discovery, but in the event they did not
accompany him, working instead in eastern Siberia and
along the Lena River. The publications of the scientists
attached to the expedition, including Gmelin's travel
narrative, constitute much of the earliest material on
the discovery and exploration of the Bering Strait and
Alaska (see Lada-Mocarski 4-7, 9). Their collective
enterprises were the first scientific investigation of the
Russian Far East. Gmelin's work is one of the key
scientific contributions to the Russian explorations of
the 1730s. "Although this work does not contain any
material by Gmelin on Alaska proper, it is replete with
information on the preparations for Bering's final sea
voyage. Altogether, it is indispensable original source
material for the study of Bering's second expedition"
- Lada-Mocarski. Gmelin also compiled the first
comprehensive flora of Siberia, Kamchatka, and the
northeastern corner of Asia. After almost a decade in
Siberia and the Far East, Gmelin returned to publish
his findings, including 1178 species of plants.

GMELIN, Samuel Gottlieb. (Born: Tübingen,
Germany, 23 June 1743; DIED: Darbent, Russia, 27 July
1774) German naturalist.
German naturalist and traveller in Russia, nephew of
J.G. Gmelin
Samuel Gottlieb (1743-1774), the son of Johann
Conrad, was appointed professor of natural history at St
Petersburg in 1766, and in the following year started on
a journey through south Russia and the regions round the
Caspian Sea. On his way back he was captured by Usrney
Khan, of the Kaitak tribe, and died from the ill-treatment
he suffered, on the 27th of July 1774.
Gmelin was born at Tuebingen in a well known family
of naturalists. His father was Johann Conrad Gmelin, an
apothecary and surgeon. His uncle was Johann Georg
Gmelin. Samuel earned his medical degree in 1763 from
the University of Leiden at the young age of 18 (Silva et
al., 1996). While living in Holland, Gmelin developed a
keen interest in marine algae. In 1766 he was appointed
professor of botany at St Petersburg. In the following year
he was sent on an expedition to study the natural history of
the Russian Empire. He explored the rivers Don and Volga,
and the western and eastern coasts of the Caspian Sea.
Whilst travelling in the Caucasus he was taken hostage by
Usmey Khan of Kha kes and died because of ill treatment
in captivity in Derbent. He was only 29 years of age.
Gmelin was the author of Historia Fucorum (1768),
the first work dedicated to marine biology, dealing
exclusively with algae and the first using the binomial
system of nomenclature. It includes elaborate illustrations
of seaweed and marine algae on folded leaves. However,
algal specimens used by Gmelin in the Historia fucorum
are thought to no longer exist (Dixon Äc Irvine, 1970).
The results of his travels were published in Reise durch
Russland zur tersuchung der drey natur-reiche (Trip
through Russia to study the three natural provinces) (1770-
1784,4 vols.). The final volume was edited by Peter Simon
Pallas.

SCARCE. This well researched paper describing
various inclusions found in the mineral diamond won
a gold medal from the Dutch Society of Science in
Haarlem. Goeppert describes and analysis's various
diamond inclusions, which to him resemble organic
remains, and also gives an account of occurrences of
diamond, which at the time were mostly alluvial. In
this time prior to the discoveries of the great diamond
fields of South Africa, the author puts forth a very
convincing case that the carbon inclusions in diamond
are organic in nature and that diamonds were created
through some type of sedimentary process. However,
shortly after this volume appeared the kimberlite pipe
of the Dark Continent were found and the true igneous
origin of diamond established once and for all time.

Goldschmidt began as a student of metallurgy
at the Industrial Academy in Berlin and the Freiberg
Bergakademie, but in 1880, he graduated with a Ph.D. in
mineralogy from the University of Heidelberg. In 1888, he
married Leontine Porges, who supported her husband and
his students. In 1888, Goldschmidt also became a faculty
member of the University of Heidelberg. There he founded
the Mineralogical-Crystallographic Institute.

VERY SCARCE. A remarkable crystallographic
work that attempted to index every mineral crystal
form. In volume one, the first 156 pages are devoted to
a treatise on crystallography that was also separately
published as Einleitung in die formbeschreibende
Krystallographie (Berlin, 1887) [which see next entry].
This introductory section covers symbols, projections,
transformations, calculation of elements, tables, and
abbreviations. Next follows the systematic data
for minerals arranged alphabetically from abichite to
euxenite. For each mineral listed the crystal system,
axial ratios, cell elements, etc. are given. The next two
volumes continue these listings for the other minerals.
At the conclusion of volume three is a supplement
listing synonyms and corrections. The work was issued
in a series of sections. Volume one appeared in two
Lieferungen 1. Einleitung 8¿ 2. Abichit to Euxenit.
Volume two was published in seven Hefts covering the
minerals Fahlerz to Pyroxen. The concluding volume
also appeared in 7 Hefts, with the first 6 dealing with
the minerals Quarz to Zunyit. The last Heft was a
supplement.

VERY RARE. This rare set is an exceptional and
unique work in crystallography. It was a by-product
of Goldschmidt's extraordinary compilation Index der
Krystallformen der Mineralien (3 vols., Berlin, 1886—
91), which listed the known crystal forms for many
minerals. The Krystallographische Projectionsbilder
uses the forms of some of the minerals listed in the
earlier work and plots them in goniometric projection.
Because the minerals Goldschmidt choose to publish
in this fashion had tremendous variety in their crystal
forms, the only practical method of conveying the rich
variety of forms on one projection was to use a very
large format in the publication of the atlas, and it is.
Measuring 78 x 68 cm, or over 2.5 x 2 feet, the plates
of this work display the culmination of goniometeric
projection. In the time preceedingx— ray diffraction, the
only method available to describe the exact symmetry
of crystallographic data was to measure crystal faces
on a goniometer. The measurements obtained were
then conveyed to other researchers in a number of ways
the most computational of which was the goniometric
projection. This procedure involved projecting an
imaginary axis orthogonal from a measured crystal face
to the surface of a hemisphere lying outside the crystal.
Where the axis projection intersected the sphere an
imaginary point was created on the surface of the
sphere. These points were then plotted on to a special
graph known as a Wulff net. By this means a simplified
visual picture of the crystal symmetry and form is
produced. In addition, if other crystal forms of the

same mineral are projected on to the same circle, a very
visual, simplified picture of all the species crystal forms
is created. This allowed any research who thought they
had discovered a new crystal form to check its projection
against Goldschmidt's work and quickly determine if in
fact a new form had been discovered.

angles for all the crystal forms of all crystallized min-

grapher to determine without calculation whether the
forms observed on a crystal were already known or were
new. Short approximations to these tables had ap-
peared within monographs for single mineral species,
but no one before this work had attempted the min-
eral kingdom as a whole. It had been impractical be-
cause the prevailing method was to list the interfa-

cial measurements between crystal faces which for any
given form required an enormous number of angles to
be given. However, the invention of the two— circle go-
niometer first proposed by Evgraf S. Fyodorov [q.v.]
and constructed by the mechanic Peter Stoë [7—1931]
for Goldschmidt allowed each face of a crystal to be
measured independently of all others. The crystal's po-
sition was determined with reference to a fixed pole and
meridian by two angular coordinates making it possible
to create a complete table of angles. For such a table
now need only contain for each form two angular values,
T and / (corresponding to geographical longitude and
latitude for a point on the earth's surface). Kristallo-
graphische Winkeltabellen contain these values for each
well established crystal form of each mineral calculated
from the axial elements of the substance and the symbol
of the form. There are also given for each form several
angles that facilitate the comparision of these angular
coordinates with the results of the ordinary interfacial
measurement. Lastly a set of linear coordinates enable
the rapid plotting of the form in a gnomonic projection.
The introduction to the work gives the necessary expla-
nations of the values contained in the work, and the
schemes employed in each system for the calculation of
the values are shown. Some idea of the enormous labor
employed by Goldschmidt in this work is given by the
statement that it contain upwards of 70,000 values. Of
this number about half are values recurring more or less
often, such as angles of 45° and 60°, but of the remain-
ing each required a separate calculation. An appendix

VERY SCARCE. In this strange theoretical
crystallography, Goldschmidt attempts to relate
musical harmony with the symmetry of crystals and
the preception of color. As a counterpoint he then
discusses complications found in nature, art and
counting systems. Goldschmidt wrote in the preface
that the essentials of this book had been written down
by 1893, but in an effort to make this complex thesis

until publication.

influence in Goldschmidt's life. While atttending the
University of ???, Goldschmidt came under Weisbach's
influence. Goldschmidt was so inspired, he decided
to make the study of crystallography his life's work.
The relationship between these two is also clearly
shown by Goldschmidt's dedication of the Index der

whose purpose was to collect, index and reproduce in
one work all the crystal forms observed for every mineral
species. In 1913, a Prospectus for this work consisting
of 8 pages of text and 8 plates was given a lengthy
notice in the American Journal of Science [See: 4th
Series, 35, 553]. After reminding the readers that a
previous attempt by ALBRECHT SCHRAUF to publish
such an atlas had collasped after only a single volume
had appeared, the review goes on: "... the work will
embrace from 25,000 to 28,000 figures; these will be
included in five or six volumes of about 250 plates
each, with a like number of volumes of text." One
wonders if the readers of this notice actually expected
to see Goldschmidt's Atlas to be completed. Most
probably did not realize this was the keystone to the
author's crystallographic work. With the Index der
Krystallformen der Mineralien (3 vols., Berlin, 1886—91)
and Kristallographische Winkeltabellen (Berlin, 1897),
it forms the last segment of a trilology Goldschmidt had
intended to publish from the start of his carrer, and
which incidently defined modern crystal morphological
studies. In the preface to the text, Goldschmidt
explains the broad standpoint that has led him to
develop this work. His desire was to bring together the
material necessary for solving many of the problems of
crystals and their growth, particularly with respect to
habit, the frequency of occurrence of certain forms and
the relative size of the faces. The tremendous depth
of the work is astonishing, with most mineral species
represented by several hundred to a few thousand
crystal drawings. The reproduction of these figures
is excellent as well. Goldschmidt did not attempt
to redraw each of these figures as Schrauf had done.
Instead original figures were reproduced by the printer
using photographic techniques onto the zinc plates used
for printing. This enabled Goldschmidt to size, adjust
and rotate the original drawings as needed. The text is
arranged alphabetically by mineral name, and consists
of two parts. The first and most important of these are
the plates, for they create the esthetic value of the work.
Reproductions of many thousands of crystal drawings
illustrate graphically all the variations in form observed
for every mineral. Supporting these figures is the text,
which lists the various characteristics of the minerals,
and gives a detailed accounting of the locality and exact
reference sources for each figure pictured.

This handsome work was published to commerate the
anniversary of Goldschmidt's birth. It begins with a
somewhat overglowing review of Goldschmidt's life and
contributions by L. Milch. Next comes a chronological
listing compiled by Himmel of Goldschmidt's 177
publications printed from 1876 to 1925. Following this
are 32 papers published in the native languages of the
authors on various mineralogical and crystallographic
subjects. The tremendous influence Goldschmidt had
as a teacher is somewhat indicated by the five languages
reproduced in the papers. Each of the authors
was either a former student of Goldschmidt's or a
professional colleage, many making their own important
contributions to these sciences.

VERY SCARCE. Edited and published postumously
from a nearly complete manuscript by Hans Himmel
[1897-?] and Karl Müller [?-?]. Goldschmidt's last work
is designed as a an authoritative textbook of crystal
measurement using one and two circle goniometers.
Coming from one of the great practitioners of the art,
it is perhaps the finest monograph on the subject.
The work gives instruction by the same methods
Goldschmidt had applied in teaching forty years worth
of post graduate students in his laboratory. It is divided
into two sections. The first, the introduction, describes
methods of generating gnomonetric, stereographic and
orthoscopic projections of crystals. The second covers
the measurement of crystals on one and two circle
goniometers. By using examples of increasingly
complex crystal forms, the theories discussed in the
text are reinforced by application. It concludes with
examples of measuring twinned crystals. Within the
discussion are references to crystal models, crystal
making apparatus, and goniometers. The numerous

Golitsyn (French: Gallitzin) was appointed Russian
ambassador at Paris in 1763 and later in 1773 at the Hague.
He retired to Braunschweig. Golitsyn was a member of
many different learned societies and author of a number of
scientific publications, especially in the field of mineralogy.
He bequeathed his mineral collection (30,000 specimens)
and library to the JENA MlNERALOGICAL SOCIETY, which was
subsequently disbanded. The collection has since been
dispersed into the general collection of the University of
Лепи.

"Arrangement Méthodique | Des Minéraux."
VERY SCARCE. In this methodical arrangement of
mineralogy, the minerals are arranged into a natural
history structure based on Orders, Classes, Families
and Species. In the introduction, the author notes
the great prevalence of quartz around the globe. It is
found in every environment from mountain tops to the
sands of the oceans. He then concludes that it would
be appropriate to create a systematic classification of
minerals based on the relative proportions of various
materials found within the earth. Thus, the most
common material, quartz, will head the system, with
other substances found in lesser amounts listed below.
Here Golitsyn utilizes the eight Orders of (1) Quartz,
(2) Native metals, (3) Calcium minerals, including
gypsum, calcite, marble, stalactites, etc., (4) Products
of vegetables and animals, (5) Acids, (6) Mixtures,
including zeolites, lapis-lazuli, fluorite, concretions,
etc., (7) Combinations of metals and semi- metals,
including pyrite, argentite, cuprite, oxides of lead,
copper, bismuth, nickel, manganese, and (8) Products
of volcanoes. Synonyms to mineral names are provided,
and footnotes cite authorities for text comments.

Rare. A large, comprehensive mineralogical
dictionary, that is encyclopedic in nature. Its rarity
may be a result of a stopped production, with the
appearance of HaÜY's Traité de Minéralogie and its
reform of nomenclature being the cause. It is clear from
the entries that Golitsyn was a proficient mineralogist
with a keen instinct for including the best information.
The species and varities are named in French, with
synonms in German and other common names, then
under each entry details on identification and physical
properties, citing other authorities.

RARE. Basically this is a treatise on gems and
other precious stones, compiled from many ancient
and contemporary sources, with little or no originality
on Gonnelli's part. The first portion of the text is
divided into three parts describing: (1) the nature of
the lapidifying juice, (2) how gemstones derive their
color, and (3) the rôle of water in mineral formation.
Afterwards is an alphabetical glossary containing
descriptions of many gemstones. A somewhat lengthy
bibliography of cited authorities occurs on pages 225 to
234. Appended at the end are the regulations of the
library of the convent of the Blessed Mary de Monte
Carmelo at Venafro.

RARE. The work describes a portable laboratory
designed by Göttling. It was intended for use not
only by analytical chemists, natural philosophers,
mineralogists, and metallurgists, but also by doctors,
technologists, and manufactures. The equipment
consisted of thirty-five chemicals, together with small
scales and weights, a blow-pipe, and some glass
apparatus, housed in two boxes approximately 12 x 9 x
9 inches.
Göttling includes in this work descriptions of over
a hundred and fifty reactions that can be preformed
with the materials provided. These were all reactions
in solution; the author planned to write a second
book describing reactions in the dry way, but this was
apparently not achieved.

VERY RARE. Apparently, this is an auction
sale catalog listing the contents of Gottwald's cabinet.
The collection consisted principally of natural history
objects, but also held a considerable number of artificial
objects, antiquities and works of art. The collection en
bloc was purchased by Peter the Great and transported
to St. Petersburg for incorporation into the Royal
Museum.

January 1806; DIED: Grenoble, France(?), 1873) French
mine engineer.
Gras graduated from the Ecole des Mines in Paris in
1824. It is known from his geological work that he worked
as a mining engineer. He specialized in the minerals, mines
and geology of parts of the French Alps, authoring several
works. At one time he proposed a system of defense against
the destruction caused by the deforestation of the Alps, and
took measurements to support his view. He concluded his
career as the chief of mines in Grenoble.

GRATACAP, Louis Pope. (BORN: Brooklyn, New
York, U.S.A., 1 November 1851; DIED: 1917) American
mineralogist & naturalist.
Gratacap was graduated at the College of the City of
New York in 1869 and at the Columbia school of mines
in 1876. Subsequently he received the appointment of
assistant curator in paleontology and mineralogy in the
American museum of natural history in New York, where
the arrangement of the specimens in the present building
was largely conducted under his supervision. Mr. Gratacap
has also held the office of chemist to the Metropolitan
gaslight company in New York for many years. He has
been a large contributor to scientific journals, and, besides
botanical notes in the" Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical
Club," has published a series of papers on "The Ice Age"
Gratacap
in the Popular Science Monthly for 1878, a series on
" Gas and Gas-Making " in the " Scientific American
Supplement" (1880), and a valuable series on archaeology
in the "American Antiquarian" (1883-'4). Mr. Gratacap is
also the author of " Philosophy of Ritualism, or Apologia
pro Ritu" (New York, 1887).

SCARCE. An enlarged and revised edition of Vade
Месит of Minerals (New York, 1903). The text is
intended chiefly for the use of visitors to public cabinets
and collections of minerals, but is so arranged that
it forms an adequate text for elementary teaching
in mineralogy as well. The book contains a section
on crystallography, followed by a discussion of the
physical and chemical properties of minerals. The
section devoted to the description of mineral species
— in harmony with the purpose of the book — has
been entitled "Guide to the Collections." An extensive
history of the development of mineralogy follows and
the book closes with a description of the fine Bernent
mineral collection which belongs to the American
Museum of Natural History in New York City and of
which the author of the book is curator. There are text
illustrations, 74 photograph plates and a map showing
the distribution of minerals in the United States.

Rare. Descriptive catalog of Grauel's mineral
collection published some years after his death.
The text describes the earths, stones, including
precious and semi-precious types, a few native metals,
and petrifications contained in the cabinet. The
classification followed in the text is derived from that
first proposed by Wallerius, as are the basic descriptions
of the specimens. Schröter considers these descriptions
to be very exact and this work to be a valuable
reference.

Early on Gravehorst developed an interest in insects.
He attended the University of Helmstadt and the death of
his father in 1799 left him a fortune that allowed hirn to
persue his interests. In 1810 he settled in Frankfurt an der
Oder where he taught at the town's university. Later, he
transferred to the University of Breslau. In 1825 he began
to develop a mental disorder that progressed throughout
his life.

ROBERT in 1833. The father himself did nothing to add
to the collection, but Robert for the period 1850 to
1859 actively enriched the cabinet through purchases and
exchanges. This collection then formed the cornerstone of
research for his important Manual of Mineralogy (London,
1858). In 1860, the Allan-Greg collection as it was known
was sold en bloc to the British Museum.

Scientific Officer in the Department of Mineralogy. He
also was curator of the national mineral collection from
1956 until his retirement in 1989. He co-authored several

this collection was incorporated into HENRY LUDLAM's
accumulation, which was ultimately acquired by the
Institute of Geological Sciences, London.

GREW, Nehemiah. (BORN: Mancetter, Warwichshire,
England, 1641; DIED: London?, England, 25 March
1712) English physician.
Grew was the son of a clergyman and schoolmaster.
After an early education at Coventry, he received his B.A.
from Cambridge in 1661. He then received his M.D. from
the University of Leiden, and returned to England, opening
a medical practice first in Coventry then in 1672 in London.
Because of Grew's interest in plant anatomy, he was elected
a fellow of the Royal Society, where he came in contact with
many notable scientists, including Robert Hooke. Through
Hooke, Grew was introduced to techniques of microscopic
examination, which he used in throughout his scientific
researches. Today, Grew is principally remembered for his
outstanding contributions to plant anatomy, which were
collected together and published in his The Anatomy of
Plants (London, 1682).

SCARCE. Early collection catalog of the Royal
Society of London's natural history specimens. This
book contains relevant early botanical and natural
history observations, and many of the plates depict
minerals, crystals, shells, fishes, birds, insects and
animal fossils. Many of the specimens, particularly
the plants, were American in origin, especially from
the West Indies. In fact, the first 386 pages comprise
a detailed catalogue of the natural history specimens
owned by the Royal Society and then housed at
Gresham College. Grew divides this portion of the
work into four parts: (1) animals, including human
rarities, quadrupeds, serpents, birds, fishes, shells and
insects, (2) plants, including trees, shrubs, herbs,
mosses, mushrooms, and plants of the sea, (3) minerals,
with descriptions of stones, including bezoar, corals,
fossils, gems, metals, salt, amber and other sulfur s,
and (4) artificial matters, including things related to
chemistry and natural philosophy, mechanics, coins,
and medicines. Appended at the end is another treatise
on the comparative anatomy of stomachs and guts
which is an early classic in the field. Some of the plates
show specimens relevant to this section.
A frontispiece engraving of Daniel Colwall (who,
as mentioned, financially supported the establishment
of the museum) and 31 engraved plates (also paid for by
Colwall) comprise the illustrations. Of these, 18 show
plant and animal specimens; included are various skulls
and skeletons, tortoise shells, a rattlesnake's rattle,
preserved fish, birds' nests, shells, starEsh, insects,
nuts, sponges, and a specimen identified as "skin on
ye Buttock of a Rhinoceros." Plates 19 and 20 show
fossils (and two small chiastolite sections); plates 21 and
22 show mineral specimens (including calcite, quartz,
gypsum, silver, copper, hematite, and what appears to
be cerussite or pyromorphite); and plates 23 through 31
show stomachs and intestines.
The text is divided into four major parts: (I)
Animals, (II) Plants, (III) Minerals, and (IV) Artificial
Matters. All sorts of highly curious objects are
represented: An Egyptian mummy given by Prince
Henry, Duke of Norfolk; a human fetus; the "Throttle
Bone of a male Aqui-qui" monkey; tiger claws; a stuffed
"Pigheaded Armadillo", the "Horns of a Hare" ("So I
find them inscribed," says the author, "Although it is
probable that they are the homes of a small kind of
German Deer"); a 7 /2 foot crocodile (stuffed); the leg
of a dodo; more than 30 lodestones; a porpoise skeleton;
butterflies; coins; and a wide array of scientific and
mechanical instruments and devices. There is an index
of medicines, and a list of donors.
The catalog gives a good view of the extent of
mineralogical knowledge in England three centuries ago.
Grew made a crude effort at categorizing the fossil and
mineral specimens, firstly into three broad divisions:
(1) Stones (fossils, gems, "stones regular," and "stones
irregular"), (2) Metals (gold, silver, copper, tin, lead,
iron, antimony, mercury, etc.), and (3) "Mineral
Principles" (salts, "sulphurs" and "earths"). In the
first division, he attempted to distinguish gems by their
colors, "stones regular" by the external shapes, and
" stones irregular" by their hardness. These distinctions
served hirn poorly and resulted in an irrational jumble,
but inasmuch as the proper tools did not yet exist for
structuring a rational crystallochemical classification,
he can hardly be criticized for his approach.
He then gives a brief description of each specimen.
Although he had available very little established
descriptive terminology, he plunged ahead, coining his
own terms where necessary and drawing frequently
on the pre-existing reference works. Grew's citations
show that he was well- versed in the early mineralogical
literature, such as it was. He refers regularly to
Agrícola, and also Johannes Kentmann (1565). Pliny,
Tavernier, Gesner, de Boodt, de Laet, Robert Boyle and
Kircher are all cited.

GRIFFIN, John Joseph. (BORN: London, England,
22 January 1802; DIED: London, England, 9 June 1877)
English chemist, author & publisher.
Griffin recieved an early education in chemistry in
Paris and Heidelberg. His family determined that he would
enter business, and therefore, Griffin was apprenticed
as a bookseller to the firm of Tegg &z, Co. After his
1832 marriage, he opened with his eldest brother an
establishment in Glasgow. From these premises, Griffin
became a successful bookseller, publisher and a dealer in
chemical apparatus. In 1852, the partnership was disjoined.
The publishing branch was continued by Griffin's nephew
as Charles Griffin ic Co. and the firm of chemical apparatus
dealers was moved to London and became J.J. Griffin Sc
Sons. Griffin's interest in chemistry caused him to translate
Heinrich Rose's Handbuch der analytischen Chemie (??,??).
He also assisted in the foundation of the Chemical Society
in 1840. Throughout his life, Griffin always attempted to
popularize chemistry.

RARE. This work is the first independent work
on the application of the blowpipe in English, and
the first published work by its author. Its purpose
was to first be a manual of instruction on the
manipulation of the blowpipe and second to be an
introduction to the determination of mineral species.
The introduction gives a philosophical overview of
mineralogical classification that is applied in the third
part of the work. The text divided into four parts
then begins. Covering pages 1 to 91, the first section
is a practical treatise on the blowpipe. It begins
with an history of the blowpipe. Following this are
descriptions of the various types of insturments, the
flames employed for reactions, exterraneous apparatus
used with the blowpipe, and the operations performed

with the blowpipe, and various veiws of the reactions
of minerals before the flame. Part two describes in
summary on pages 92 to 142, the reactions of various
elements that commonly make up minerals and their
behavior before the blowpipe. Part three (pages 143 to
268) gives a systematic arrangement of simple minerals.
The fourth section covering miscellanea describes the
use of other types of blowpipes in actually determining
the composition of a mineral. Included are Lavoisier's,
Hare's, Clarke's, Gurney's, Toft's and Phillips' "Spirit
Lamp." Two comprehensive indexes close the book.

SCARCE. A comprehensive treatise on crystallog-
raphy, claiming to be the first to easily classify min-
erals. After discussing the difficulties of other texts,
Griffin introduces his own system. The first part is
theoretical. It describes the principals of crystallogra-
phy including axes of crystals, prisims and pyramids
and their combinations, classification of crystals, a new
system of crystallographic notation, cleavage, primitive
forms, simple forms and combinations, a theory of crys-
tallization, application of trigonometry to crystallogra-
phy, and logarithmic tables. The second part treats the
applications of crystallography to mineralogy. A tabu-
lar arrangement of minerals according to Gustav Rose's
[q.v.] method of six systems of axes of crystallization
is presented. This is followed by a catalog of crystal-
lized minerals, showing the crystallographic combina-
tions that occur in nature, and a systematic arrange-
ment of crystals, with a list of the minerals common
to each crystal form. A descriptive catalog of crystal
models sold by the publishers is included at the end.
An index to the minerals described ends the work.

Icelandic (SteindafraeÕi=mineralogy). Various aspects
of mineralogy including crystallography, and physical
and chemical properties, together with a short
descriptive section are treated on pages 1-94. A
description of the most common rocks, almost all
volcanic, occurs on pages 95-121. The work is
illustrated with 32 illustrations, contained mostly on
the two accompanying plates. This appears to be the
first mineralogical text book for Icelandic students cast
in a modern structure.

physician & naturalist.
Father of LAURENTIUS Theodorus. In 1725, Gronovius
opened a medical practice in Leiden. He was often a
Councillor, Alderman and Borgomaster of Leiden. A large
natural history collection of all types was gathered by him,
the greater part of which was inherited by son, Laurentius.

VERY RARE. This is the preliminary catalog of
Grovon's growing collection of minerals, stones and
fossils. In it, he indexes the specimens in his collection
through a systematic approach. He divides the species
into three divisions: (I) Petras sive Lapides Simplices
(pp. 1-3), (II) Mineras sive Lapides Compósitos (pp.
4-13), and (III) Fossilia sive Lapides Aggregatos (pp.
14-29), which are the equivalent of simple stones,
composite minerals and stones, and stone and mineral
aggregates. There is no introductory text, leading to
speculation that this rare work was circulated among
his scientific friends for comment and commentary, in
preparation of the expanded 1750 edition.

around the world. It is one of the earliest mineralogical
works to document American localities, with numerous
references to minerals found in Pennsylvania that had been
supplied by the naturalist and botanist John Bartrarn
[1699-1777]. There are also several minerals listed from
Virginia; however, no indication is given of who supplied
them. Besides being his friend Gronov was a patron of
Linnaeus, to whom he dedicated this work. This second
edition is the one more commonly encountered, although it
is itself rare.

Rare. This early and influential bibliography of
the natural sciences focuses primarily on the animal
and mineral kingdoms. It was designed to be used
by students of natural history. The list was edited
and published by the Dutch physician and naturalist
Gronovius who relied primarily upon his own large
library for compiling a large portion of the text. Entries
include listings for his own well-known works on fish.

Grossmann attended the University of Prague,
devoting himself especially to mathematics and pedagogics.
From 1847 to 1851 he was a teacher in Györ-Sziget,
followed by two years attending the Josef technical school
in Budapest. In 1854 he was appointed principal of the
girls' school of the Pester Israelitische Religionsgemeinde.
He was appointed In 1857 to a professorship in the
commercial school, where he remained until 1862, when he
was made engineer of the Pest-Losonez-Zólyom Railroad
Company. Grossmann was the inventor of the mercurial
pneumatic pump, although others received credit. In 1854
he discovered a new method of gasometer construction.

VERY SCARCE. Groth was professor of mineralogy
at the University of Munich, who inspired a generation
of other crystallographers with his vivid, and well
organized lectures. He was one of the outstanding
crystallographers of his age, publishing numerous
articles and several editions of the work described
here. This is perhaps his most important and lasting
contribution explaining in great depth the connections
between chemical composition of minerals and their
crystal structure. This textbook and its subsequent
editions were used by every important crystallographer
and mineralogist of the time, and Groth's format
was adopted, knowingly or unknowingly, by many
subsequent authors. The book described here is based
upon his lectures on the subject supplemented by an
excellent, heavily illustrated, section on the theory and
use of various scientific instruments (goniometers etc.)
used in mineralogical research. On its publication, the
work was deservedly praised for its clear explanations,
and it is frequently cited in publications that came after
its appearance.
The text is divided into three major sections.
I. The physical properties of crystals, including the
descriptions of the optical, thermal, magnetic and
electrical properties of crystals. II. The geometrical
properties of crystals, including detailed discussions of
the seven crystal systems, and their minerals. III.
The apparatus and methods of physical crystallography
investigations, includes information on goniometers,
instruments for measuring polarization, stauroscopes,
angle measurments, and crystallographic projections,
including the drawing of crystals. This section contains
wonderful steel engraved illustrations of the apparatus.

of crystallography published before the X-ray diffraction
experiments of Von Laue performed in 1912 showed the in-
ternal structure of crystals, and is therefore an important
source providing the best, current theories of atomic ar-
rangements in crystals before it could actually be seen.

RARE. With the development of optical go-
niometry, polarized light microscopy, and other phys-
ical techniques, 19th-century chemists and crystallog-
raphers focused on macroscopic properties of crystals
such as birefringence, optical activity, pyroelectricity
(electric polarization caused by temperature change),
and, later, piezoelectricity (electric polarization under
external stress), which was discovered by Pierre and
Jacques Curie in 1880. These efforts culminated in
Groth's Chemische Krystallographie, which documents
in five volumes what was known about the external form
and physical properties of more than 7,000 organic and
inorganic crystals that had been characterized by the
beginning of the 20th century.
Groth was a pioneer in the development of the
optical goniometer, and compiled the monumental col-
lection of crystallographic data Chemische Krystallo-
graphie, in five volumes between 1906 and 1919. The
volumes arranged by chemical compound tabulate the
morphological, optical and other properties of over
7,000 crystalline substances (both organic and inor-
ganic), but it contains no information about internal
crystalline structures and no discussion of exp er mental
techniques used to arrive at the data. It is a refer-
ence still used as a resource for organic chemists who
investigate inclusion compounds. The later volumes,
published during WWI concentrate on benzene ring
structure and aromatic structures that was probably
related to the manufacture of posion gas by the Ger-
man chemists. There are over 3,300 crystal drawings of
the described substances.

Karl Mieleitner. (BORN: Munich, Bavaria, Germany,
31 March 1890; DIED: Munich, Bavaria, Germany, 15 March
1923) German mineralogist & historian of mineralogy. Born
the son of a shoemaker, Mieleitner became in 1913 assistant
for the Bavarian state mineral collection at the University
of Munich, where in 1919 he succeeded F. Grünlung
as 'Konservator.' He was an enthusiastic and energetic
worker, producing several papers within a few years. He
developed an interest in the history of mineralogy and
published before his early death German translations, with
authoritative notes, of the old works of Steno, Bartholin
and Cappeller.

Rare. This essay, which developes an historical
perspective on the mineralogical sciences as seen from
the view point of discoveries in crystallography, is
especially interesting having been written by one of the
greatest mineralogists. The text is divided into two
sections: "Krystallkunde" and "Mineralkunde," with
the period covered going to the end of the nineteenth
century. The first section contains chapters that cover
geometrical and chemical crystallography, as well as
the recognition of a connection between the forms of
crystals and their optical properties. Information is
also given concerning the then recent develop ements in
X-ray crystallography. The mineralogical section has
chapters devoted to the crystallography of minerals,
the optical determination of the rock-forming minerals,
paragensis and the chemistry of minerals, including
the study of their alteration and artifical reproduction.
Important regional mineralogies are mentioned, and
very short accounts of important national mineral
collections are also given. An appendix gives 37
biographical sketches of prominent mineralogists and
crystallographers from the past. The work concludes
with two short indexes, one of subjects and the other of
names. The latter is incomplete with many more names
mentioned in the text than appear in the index.

Rare. A beautifully produced book of which only
a few special copies were meant to contain the portrait
of Gualtieri, which is usually missing. This title is
one of the most curious and beautiful conchological
works ever printed. The plates depict many of the
specimens standing on their apices, and the engraving
and typography throughout the work is exceptional.
Gualtieri's patron, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was
a keen collector of shells and by many accounts had
a magnificent cabinet including 360 species sent to him
by RUMPHIUS. Gualtieri apparently was given his choice
of any duplicates.

GUETTARD, Jean Etienne. (Born: 22 September
1715; DIED: 8 January 1786) French physician,
geologist, botanist & naturalist.
Guettard was curator of the natural history collection
of the French scientist René de Reaumur (1741) and a
member of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris (1742). From
1747 to 1752 he was médecin botaniste to the French prince
Louis, duc dOrléans, and later was also supported by Louiss
son Louis-Philippe. He discovered the volcanic nature of
the Auvergne region in France, mapped the mineralogical
distributions of much of Europe, and collaborated with the
French scientist Antoine Lavoisier on the preparation of a
geological survey of France.

Rare. The present work was first published in
1779. It is here part of the large series Description
Générale et Particulière de la. France, with a separately
printed title. Guettard wrote a number of works on the
geology and mineralogy of France. He is best known for
his discovery of the volcanic nature of Auvergne and his
attempt to consruct a geological map of France.
This is the rare second edition of the first book
on fossils and minerals of the province Dauphine in
France published within the "Description de la France,
departement du Rhone, gouvernement de Dauphine, in
3 parts in one, including also XXIV, 102p.: Abrege de
l'Histoire du Dauphine et des Princes Dauphins with
a nice engraved text vignette showing the "Price des
possessions du Dauphine en 1349" and the third part:
Idee generale de ce gouvernement suivant ses principales
divisions géographiques, physiques, économiques, ses
productions, agriculture, commerce, manufactures,
with 240p. and its own titlepage published in 1784.
By far the most important part is the mineralogical one
authored by Guettard. This later edition seems to have
less pages although it's printed in 2 columns but has 20
plates instead of 19 and may be this is a revised and
enlarged edition.

RARE. No more published. Guettard had been
officially commissioned to prepare an atlas of the min-
eralogical wealth of France and in 1767 was authorized
to begin his work and visit Alsace and Lorraine in order
to collect the data for that region. He invited a young
ANTOINE LAVOISIER, to accompany him. Unfortunately
political intrigue and funding issues were to prevent the
completion of the publication of the atlas.
The first part was published under the joint au-
thorship of Guettard and Antoine Grimoald Monnet
although Lavoisier did much of the preparatory work.
He had not only taken the field notes during his 1767
trip with Guettard, but he also collated and arranged
the mass of collected information, and prepared most of
the detail work of the geological maps. By 1770 he had
supervised the engraving of 16 plates for the expected
series of 230 maps for the whole of France. Lavoisier
also invented the feature of showing on the maps the
heights of geological strata. But Monnet who added
16 plates and a long text did not credit Lavoisier, al-
though the latter angered by the treatment protested
bitterly. Monnet published the whole as a first part

GUGLIELMINI
GUGLIELMINI, Domenico. (Born: Bologna, Italy,
27 August 1655; DIED: Padua, Italy, 12 June 1710)
Italian physician & hydraulic expert.
At the University of Bologna, Guglielmini studied
mathematics under Geminiano Montanario [1633—1687]
and medicine with Marcello Malpighi [1628-1694]. In 1678,
he graduated with his medical degree, and soon thereafter
became associated with the city's famous Museum of
Aldrovandi. In 1686, he accepted a position with the water
works of the Bologna state. In this post, Guglielmini began
a lifelong study of fluid mechanics and hydrology, on which
he wrote several books that are considered among the first
scientific works on the subject. He returned to Bologna in
1690 as professor of mathematics at the city's University.
He accepted a. professorship in mathematics at Padua in
1698, where in 1702 he was also named a professor of
medicine. He died there after a long illness in his 55th
year.

Extremely rare. An important contribution
to the development of crystallography, Riflessioni
Filosoñche is among the first publications to scientifi-
cally treat the internal structure of crystals. The author
entered into the study on the evening of March 21, 1688
at the Accademia Filosoñca Esperimentale (Academy
of Philosophical Experimenting) of Count Luigi Ferdi-
nando Marsigilli in Bologna. At this particular meeting,
Gugliemini demonstrated several experiments in the

precipitation of crystals from various saline solutions.
Careful study of the resulting specimens led Gugliemini
to conclude that only four primary crystal shapes ex-
isted, and that all other geometries observed arose from
various internal combinations of these four basic shapes
and their associated salt. The four salts that possessed
these forms were common salt (the cube), salt of vitriol
(the rhombohedron), niter (the hexagonal prism), and
alum (the octahedron). The author further hypothe-
sized that although endowed with unalterable shapes,
these four base types were built from collections of very
small, unseeable pieces of the named salt. Even though
the concepts rely upon seventeenth century doctrine,
Gugliemini's studies into the nature of crystals was a
significant advance in the emerging science of crystal-
lography. Apparently printed in a small edition, this is
a very rare book, with no copies recorded in NUC or
the British Library Catalog.

SCARCE. Translated by H. Fiot from Riflessioni
FilosoRche (1st ed., Bologna, 1688). According to Mieleitner
(1923), there is a Latin translation of the Riñessioni
FilosoRche contained within the work (see: 1, 65-104). He
does not consider this to be a good rendereing of the work,
either. This collected edition also contains a fine engraved
portrait as well as a long biography of Guglielmini by John
Baptista Morgagni.
Giovanni Bapttista Morgagni. (BORN: Forli, Italy, 25
February 1682; DIED: Forli, Italy, 5 December 1771) Italian

metals, gems and gemstones. "That mineralogy had
made little advance during the previous hundred years
might be inferred from the fact that Giovanni Guidi

of Volterra in 1725 dedicated to Ferdinand II, and
published at Venice a treatise De Minerahbus by one
of his ancestors who lived from 1464 to 1530, and there
was another printing of the book in 1627" (Duveen).
This is not however a justified position, since the volume
is principally concerned with legal questions concerning
alchemists, gems and the like. Guidi also includes his
own commentary and includes much information on
the working practices of silver- and goldsmiths, gem
merchants, cutters and polishers, etc. "The section on
gems referred to by Thorndike appears on pages 64-73,
and as in the other portions of the work, consists of
a series of questions raised by Guidi and answered by
quotations or statements taken from other authorities,
among them Pliny, Isidore of Seville, the Bible, etc. The
questions on gems are general and jump from topic to
topic with little solid information divulged. Questions
on pearls are included. More on gems appears in
the section entitled "De Ornamentis," pp. 174-80"
(Sinkankas). The British Library Catalogue claims
that although the volume was authored by Joannes
the Elder, it was edited and published by Joannes the
Younger.

GUILD, Frank Nelson. (Born: Jaffrey, New
Hampshire, USA, 28 December 1870; DIED: Tucson,
Arizona, USA, 12 March 1939) American educator,
geologist, chemist & mineralogist.
Son of a clergyman, Guild attended the University of
Vermont, graduating with a B.A. in 1894 and his masters
in 1903. He later studied in Chicago, Paris and Heidelberg
under Goldschmidt, but it was Stanford University that
conferred on him a Ph.D. in 1917. He came to the faculty of
the University of Arizona in 1897 as professor of chemistry
and mineralogy, remaining throughout his career except
those periods when ho studied abroad or í¡t. Stanford. He
maintained contact with all the best known mineralogists
of Germany, France, England and Sweden until his death.
Guild was a recognized authority in optical mineralogy, a
study he continued after his retirement in 1934. However,
his investigations of the paragensis of silver minerals are the
subject most prevailant in his publish writings. Over more
than thirty years he trained numerous students in mining
and allied industries. By presidential appointment he
served several times on the United States assay commission.

Rare. This is a richly and elaborately illustrated
work on economic mineralogy, petrology, and related
topics. Published as the sixth part of a general series
the publisher spared little expense in the production of
this book. The original binding is an ornately decorated
cloth, highlighted in gold, while the title pages are
expertly printed in red and black ink. Through out the
text, numerous illustrations depict descriptions in the
text, and are additionally enhanced with the inclusion
of eight plates (two chromolithographs) showing mining
scenes, crystals, precious stones, mineral specimens,
etc. The introduction (pp. 1-147) covers the basics
of mineralogy, including definitions, crystal forms,
instrumentation, physical and chemical properties, etc.,
and is based on the work of Groth, Schrauf, Doelter and
Bauer. Precious stones and semi-precious stones are
then described (pp. 148-301). Quarried stones, such as
marble and granite are discussed (pp. 302-458), followed
by various metallic ores (pp. 459-615). The economics
and occurrences of coal are treated (pp. 616-697), as are
salt (pp. 698-740). Comprehensive name and subject
indexes close the work. Eight pages of advertisements
are unusual in that they are printed in red and black!

Institution. Gurney invented steam carriages were the first
self propelled road vehicles employed to carry passengers.
They were used them to run a service from Gloucester to

and disseminating scientific, technical, and literary
knowledge and understanding among a wider public.
The Institution offered its proprietors and subscribers
the use of an extensive reference library and reading
rooms and, most importantly, the opportunity to attend
courses of lectures on scientific, technological, and
other subjects. Though popular in approach, the
lectures conformed to high educational standards and
were delivered by recognized authorities in their fields.
In the Surrey Institution's celebrated auditorium,
the 'Rotunda', there appeared over the years such
notable scientists as Accum, Thomson, and Gurney on
chemistry, Millington, Mason Good, and Woodward on
natural philosophy, Bakewell on geology, and Shaw on
natural history; literature was brilliantly represented
by Coleridge and Hazlitt. During its relatively brief
life-span (1808-23)-cut short by financial stringencies-
the Surrey Institution provided access to scientific
knowledge and thinking to a wide and appreciative
audience. As a meeting place of scientists and men of
business with mercantile and manufacturing interests, it
performed an important function in cross-fertilizing and
reinforcing ideas on innovation and enterprise against
the background of the ongoing Industrial Revolution.
Gurney's course of chemical lectures was attended
amongst others by Michael Faraday. While at the
Surrey Institution he made his first invention, a
oxyhydrogen blowpipe. He appended at the end of his
course text an extensive description of this insturment
together with 3 illustrative plates. For this invention he
was the recipient of the Gold Medal of the Society of
Arts.

VERY RARE. In a previous treatise, Lithophy-
lacium Mitisianum, Güssmann under the heading of
'native iron' described the large Krasnojarsk meteorite
in some detail and various theories as to its origin. It
was probable, Güssmann concluded that it had fallen
from the sky. In this small work, written for the young
Count Eugen Wrbna, Güssmann writes opposing the
hypothesis that meteorites are ejecta from lunar volca-
noes, and complains that his previous treatise had been
completely ignored by other researchers.

RARE. This is the author's general introduction
to mineralogical studies that includes overviews of
A. C.G. Batch's, Haüy's and Werner's classification
methods. General principals are described in the areas
of crystallography, mineral determination, chemical and
physical properties, but the bulk of the volume is taken
up by a descriptive mineralogical classification system.

VERY RARE. This is another of the very odd
crystallographic works intended to be cut apart by the
buyer, so that paper crystal models could be folded
and glued together. The purpose was to allow the
buyer to study crystal forms with cheap 3-dimensional
forms rather than the typical flat pictures found in
most crystallographic works. In this instance, Haberele
has created a text in which 106 such models could
be constructed. Due to its intended purpose of being
cut apart, very few copies of this title appear to have
survived to the present time.

HACQUET, Balthasar. (Born: cl739; Died:
Vienna, Austria, 10 January 1815) Austrian naturalist,
mineralogist & geologist.
In 1778, Hacquet was appointed a professor at
the University of Laibach, which were followed by
appointments at the Universities of Lemberg in 1785 and
Krakau in 1805. He was a naturalist and is regarded as one
of the first true Alpine geologists.

Rare. A catalog of the minerals in the Royal
collection at Vienna, fully annotated with references
to the leading mineralogists of the day. It is divided
into the following classes: metals, combustible minerals,
salts, earths, and stones. There is also a description
of the collection's volcanic products and fossils. The
first pages, which act as an introduction, provide a
short history of the collection. This is apparently the
first published account of the mineral collection of this
remarkable institution.

HAIDINGER, Wilhelm Karl Ritter von. (Born:
Vienna, Austria, 5 February 1795; DlED: Dornbach,
near Vienna, Austria, 19 March 1871) Austrian
mineralogist & geologist.
Haidinger received his basic education in Vienna,
but moved to Graz in 1812, where he became assistant
to F. MOHS. Mohs recommended him as a traveling
companion to Count Breunner, and it was during these
travels he was introduced to Georges Cuvier [1769—1832]
and J.-B. Biot [1774-1862] in Paris and George Greenough
[1778-1855], David Brewster [1781-1868] and T. ALLAN
in Edinburgh. Haidinger must have made an impression
in Edinburgh as he was hired to arrange Allan's mineral
collection in 1823. While in Scotland, he began to publish
papers on the determination of mineral species as well as
his first major work, an English translation of Frederich
Mohs Grundriss der Mineralogie (2 vols., Dresden, 1822—
4), which was published in 1825. After 1827, Haidinger
also became interested in pseudomorphs and the absorption
of light in crystals — the later studies probably sparked
by his association with David Brewster. In 1827, he
returned to Elbogen, Austria where he worked in a china
factory founded by his two brothers. He remained there
until 1840 when an appointment as an inspector of mines
(Bergrath) took him to Vienna. Through many years of
patient lobbying, Haidinger helped establish the Austrian
Geological Survey in 1849, of which he was named its first
director. Haidinger also was a co-founder and member of
the Imperial Royal Geographical Society in Vienna, co-
founder of the Werner Association for Geological Research
in Moravia and Silesia, co-founder of the Geological
Association for Hungary, and co-founder of the Società
geológica Milan. Haidinger is also credited with discovering
a phenomena that enables detection of plane polarized
light, now known as "Haidinger's brushes" in his honor.

HALL, Frederick. (BORN: Grafton, Virginia, U.S.A.,
1780; DIED: Peru, Illinois, U.S.A., 27 July 1843)
American chemist & mineralogist.
After graduating from Darthmouth in 1803, Hall
tutored there for a year before accepting a position at
Middlebury College. He taught mathematics and natural
philosophy there until 1824. In 1808 he visited Europe,
meet many of the notable scientists and sent back word
of Humprey Davy's isolation of potassium and sodium —
probably the first announcement to reach America. During
his forties, Hall studied to become a physician, receiving his
M.D. from Castleton (exinct) in 1827. From 1824 to 1828,
he taught chemistry and mineralogy at Trinity College.
He then went to Baltimore as president of Mt. Hope
College (exinct) and from 1835 onwards he also lectured
on mineralogy at Columbian College in Washington, D.C.
In 1840, he was elected to a professorship in chemistry and
pharmacy in Columbian's Medical School. Perhaps to seek
information on mineral resources, Hall traveled west in the
spring of 1843. Several weeks later word arrived back that
he had succumbed to some form of cerebral disease.

VERY SCARCE. This is the earliest example
published in the United States of a separately issued
state mineralogy. Approximately 140 mineral species
are alphabetically arranged and described within this
slim volume. Most species mentioned have localities
within the state boundaries of Vermont, while a few are
found only in the adjoining states. For his research, Hall
relied heavily upon the mineralogical texts of PARKER
Cleaveland and Henry Schoolcraft, as well as the
periodical The American Journal of Science.

VERY RARE. Hall was probably self-taught as
a mineralogist there being few formal classes in the
subject in New England. Even so, he excelled in the
subject and was able to offer in the winter of 1835-6
a course on the subject. It consisted of 30 lectures.
Students were also allowed to view more than 5,000
specimens from his own collection to reenforce concepts
taught. Non-students could also attend at a cost of $10
per head. In 1838, he gave Darthmouth $5,000 to endow
a professorship of mineralogy, plus specimens appraised
at $5,000. In addition, he bequeathed the college, his
alma mater, land valued at several thousand dollars and
the remainder of his collection for the same purpose.

Hamilton
his embassy became a cultural and musical centre; he
entertained many travellers on the Grand Tour, studied
Vesuvius (recording his observations in Campi Phlegraei:
Observations on the Volcanos of the Two Sicilies, 1776),
collected so-called Etruscan vases and paintings, and in
1791 married, as his second wife, Emma, Hart (born Amy
Lyon) who was to achieve notoriety as the mistress of
Nelson. The Hamiltons were recalled to England in 1800,
where Sir William died, with both Emma and Nelson
attending his deathbed. His friends and correspondents
included Beckford and Horace Walpole, and his collections
exerted a wide influence on neo-classicism in Britain; one
of his most important collections of vases, terracottas,
coins, etc., sold to the British Museum in 1771, laid the
foundation for its department of classical antiquities.
Fourth son of Lord Archibald Hamilton. In 1758
he married Catherine Barlow, the daughter of Member
of Parliament Hugh Barlow. He became ambassador of
England in Naples in 1764. He studied the excavations
at Pompei and published scientific books on vases. His
first collection of vases he sold to the British Museum,
the second collection went down with the ship that was
transporting them to England on 12 Oct 1798.
After Catherine's death he married Emma Lyon when
he was sixty years old. Emma eventually became far more
famous than her husband as the mistress of Lord Nelson.
Hamilton was elected FRS in 1766,

VERY SCARCE. Edited by the publisher Thomas
Cadell. While he was the British Envoy to the
Court of Naples, Hamilton made many important
observations on the volcanoes of the region including
Etna and Vesuvius as well as the extinct volcanoes of
the Rhineland. With the companionship of the geologist
and naturalist Hugh Strickland [1811-1853] the pair
studied the vulcanology and geology of Asia Minor.
Their observations were sent to the Royal Society in
a series of important letters, which were gathered
together and published as this study. Later, Hamilton
would follow up on this work with his magnificently
illustrated and monumental Campi Phlegraei [which see
entry below].

Hamilton was elected FRS in 1766, and these papers
were the first published the results of his extensive studies
on volcanoes - he climbed Vesuvius at least twenty-two
times. These detailed reports were important in the
development of "vulcanism" (Porter Earth Sciences 5-14).
His great colour plate book of views of volcanoes, Campi
phlegraei, was not published until 1776.

RARE. A monumentally beautiful work, highly
prized for its beautiful plates showing panoramas of
Italian volcanoes, as well as minerals found around
volcanoes. Text is in parallel columns of English and
French.
Also on view are striking hand-colored etchings
by Pietro Fabris that depict the eruptions of Mount
Vesuvius and the fiery fields of the Campi Phlegraei. In
The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius on August 9, 1779,
Fabris dramatically records the spectacular views that
drew 18th-century travelers to the region to sketch and
to collect rocks, shells, and antique fragments found on
the path of the flowing lava.
This huge tome describes volcanic areas around
Pozzuoli to the west of Naples, Vesuvius, islands in
the Bay and Mount Etna in Sicily. Campi Phlegraei
was expensive to produce but provided clear, precise,
more useful and much more detailed explanations of
volcanic activity than had previously been published,
and included Sir William Hamilton's own theories that
volcanoes were creative rather than destructive forces.
Published in both Italy and England it sold widely
throughout Europe and was hailed as a masterpiece.
Sir William Hamilton, the diplomat and archae-
ologist, served as British envoy to the court of Naples
from 1764-1800. It was at the end of his second year
of residence in Naples that Vesuvius began a series of
great volcanic eruptions, all of which he witnessed, in
1767, 1779 and 1794. He produced several treatises on
earthquakes and volcanoes, including these observations
on Vesuvius and Etna, published in 1776. The text -
the first major contribution on volcanology since the
Renaissance - is Hamilton's own, while the fifty-four
hand-coloured plates which describe the activity of the

volcanoes are the work of Pietro Fabris. A spectacular
night view of the eruption of Vesuvius on 11 May 1771
is shown here, the lava forming a beautiful cascade of
fire; Hamilton is depicted drawing the original in the
lower left corner. Knighted in 1772, Hamilton was a
notable collector. He aided his friend, William Hunter,
the original owner of this volume, in acquiring coins and
medals from Italy. He was also the husband of Emma,
Lady Hamilton, the mistress of Admiral Horatio Nelson.
Fabris was the sole distributor of the work, which
was originally published at 60 Neapolitan ducats for
Part I and Part II; the price of the Supplement is not
recorded. Jenkins and Sloan state that 'some copies
have bodycolour and gum arabic added to the etchings,
perhaps indicating that they were de luxe versions'.

Hungary is richly illustrated with engraved plates. It is
not clear if this work has any connection to mineralogy,
but it is listed in Gatterer's bibliography.
The greater part of this work, which is a sort of
German Coryat, is filled with a history of the wars between
Hungary and Turkey, but it has also a special interest
for the American collector, as it contains a series of
fifteen curious representations of the aborigines of America,
all with detailed descriptions of their manners, customs,
religion, etc. We find among them representations of the
natives of New-France, New-Nether- land, Virginia, a King
of Florida, Californians, Peruvians, Chilians, Mexicans,
etc. — Sabin

HARIOT, Thomas. (BORN: Oxford, England, 1560;
DIED: London, England, 1621) English explorer,
navigational expert, mathematician, scientist & as-
tronomer.
Hariot was tutor to Sir Walter Raleigh, who sent him
in 1585 to Virginia as surveyor with Sir Richard Grenville.
Returning to England, Hariot wrote A Brief and True Report
of the New Found Land of Virginia (1588), one of the earliest
known large-scale statistical surveys. He made valuable
contributions to algebra, introducing new symbols and
notation. His Artis analyticae praxis appeared in 1631.

EXTREMELY RARE. The science of North America
began with Thomas Hariot and his Brief and True
Report of the New Found Land of Virginia, a thin
volume in quarto, printed at London in 1588. This
narrative appeared in the English market in an attempt
to entice others to emigrate to the recently founded
colony of Roanoke in the Virginia colony. It is now
one of the rarest and most precious works relating to
America and is full of interest to the naturalist. Hariot's
description of the Indians and their customs and
beliefs, though strongly tinctured with prepossessed
ideas concerning them, is thorough and scholarly, and
one of the fullest and most reliable of the early treatises
upon the inhabitants of North America. In addition,
Hariot gives a good description of the natural history
of the territory surrounding the colony, included are
descriptions of the plants, roots, berries, fish, animals
and minerals that were readily available to the colonists.
Among the mineral substances desecribed are pyrite,
clay, slate, pearls, and iron and copper ores. These
are the earliest printed descriptions about mineralogical
items found on the North American continent.
Hariot's Report is an abstract of a now-lost
Chronicle written while he lived in Virginia in 1585-
6. Although in the Report Hariot states his intent to
publish the full Chronicle at a later date, it was never
printed. The first edition of A Briefe and True Report
was published in quarto in 1588. It does not appear in
the Stationers' Register, nor does any printer's name
or mark appear in the text. However, Randolph
Adams identifies the printer's device on the title page as
belonging to London printer Robert Robinson. There is
no record of how many copies of the 1588 edition were
printed, but the run is assumed to be small. The book

was intended for limited circulation among the wealthy
to persuade them to invest in Sir Walter Raleigh's
attempt to establish a permanent colony in the new
world. Only six copies of the 1588 edition are known to
survive.

HARKORT, Eduard. (Born: 1797; Died: August
1834 or 1835) German geographer & mineralogist.
Harkort entered the Freiberg Bergakademie in 1826,
but in 1827 he emigrated to Mexico and probably became
for several years the manager of the Santa Ana Smelter
on the Rio Yavonio. The political turmoil swept him
up however, and he joined the Mexican revolution in
1833, participating in the battles as Chief of the Corps of
Engineers. Later he served as colonel of the artillery in the
Texas army, dying of fever in Galveston.

RARE. Published at the expense of the author this
single section dealing with blowpipe and assay tests for
silver is all that appeared of a general work describing
the assay art utilizing the blowpipe. In 1826 Harkort
came to the Freiberg Bergakademie and was taught
blowpipe analysis by JOHANN FRIEDRICH AUGUST
BREITHAUPT. He excelled at the work, developing a
method of identifying potassium by blowpipe analysis
in which the sample was mixed with nickel hydroxide
and borax and fused. A characteristic blue coloration of
the glass bead appeared in the presence of potassium.
In his Die Probirkunst mit dem Löthrohre he
introduced quantitative analysis to blowpipe technique.
Descriptions are given that provide procedures for
testing the percentage of silver present in samples
of minute size. In essence Harkort applies in
miniature the ancient techniques that were used to
test large quantities of silver ore in the muffle furnace.
Unfortunately, no other sections of the book were
published and innovations that Harkort might have
brought to blowpipe art never appeared. However, he
is credited with introducing the blowpipe assay scale as
standard equipment.

HARTMANN, Carl Friedrich Alexander. (Born:
Zorge near Walckenriedt, Harz, Germany, 8 January
1796; DlED: Leipzig, Germany, 3 August 1863) German
mineralogist, mining expert & metallurgist.
Hartmann was the son of a foundry official in the
Oberharz, a prolific mining/mineral district in Germany.
From these roots, he developed an early interest in mining
and metallurgy, and through family connections secured a
position as a student at the mining school in Clausthal,
Austria. Although his studies were interrupted from 1813
to 1816 by a stretch in the German army fighting Napoleon,
he resumed his education afterward, becoming an assistant
to Christian Samuel Weiss at the University of Berlin.
In 1821, while still a student, Hartmann entered into a
marriage that he could not financially support: therefore,
he was obligated to leave the University and accept a
bookkeeping position in Brunswick to provide for his
family. His discretion and conscientiousness often meant
being entrusted with important assignments. However, all
spare time away from work or family was devoted to private
study in the areas of geology, mining and mineralogy. His
publications and translations in these fields brought him
recognition and opportunities to travel throughout Europe.

HAUSMANN, Johann Friedrich Ludwig. (Born:
Hannover, Germany, 22 February 1782; DIED:
Göttingen, Germany, 26 December 1859) German
mineralogist.
Hausmann received his formal education at the
University of Göttingen, from which he graduated with
a Ph.D. in 1806. Afterward he made an extended one
year geological tour of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. An
appointment as General Inspector of Mines for Westphalia
carne in 1809, and in 1811, Hausmann accepted a position
as professor of technology and mining at the Göttingen.
Later he became professor of geology and mineralogy. In
1811, Hausmann was elected a member of the Königl.
Societät der Wissenschaften in Göttingen, a body for which
he served as secretary from 1840 to 1859. The mineral
"Hausmannite" was named after him by W. HAIDINGER in
1831.

VERY SCARCE. The first attempt at applying
spherical trigonometry to crystallographic description.
In the preliminaries, Hausmann writes of being
influenced by RENÉ Just HaÜY's Traité de Mineralogie
(1st ed., Paris, 1801). After some thought, he decided
to apply the techniques of spherical trigonometry to the
problem of crystal description, and the results of this
research is reproduced in this work.
The text is divided into six sections. The
first (pp. 2—20) give a short account of Haüy's
theory of the structure of crystals. Each of the
remaining five sections describe the crystallization of
a single mineral. Described species are boracite (from
Lüneburg, Germany), feldspar, barite, sphalerite and
magnetite (from Ilefeld, Germany). For each mineral,
information from Haüy's work is provided, and then
Hausmann presents the application of his mathematical
treatment to the crystallographic problem.

introduction is an overview of the classificaiton system.
The system Hausmann follows in this enterprise, was
originally presented in his Entwurf eines Systems der
unorganisirten Naturkörper (Cassei, 1809) [see above
entry]. Only slight modifications have been made to
the system from the earlier work. After this overview
the more detailed descriptive mineralogy arranged
according to the outline is presented. It is divided
into the classes of combustibles, incombustibles, earths,
oxides, acids and salts. Throughout the volumes
Hausmann has applied careful and judicial judgement
in expressing his own views and the mention of new
discoveries and theories. Volume three concludes with
two indexes. Each lists the described mineral spieces,
one referencing names in German, while the other lists
names in French.

PLATES: There are two folding plates at the end of part
one and one plate at the end of part two, volume one. Each
of them shows various crystal drawings. None are signed.
VERY SCARCE. Part one of this work, comprising
the first volume, is a comprehensive, well thought
out introduction to mineralogical science. In the
forward, Hausmann writes that this new edition of his
Handbuch is made necessary by the many changes in
the science of mineralogy, particularly with regard to
chemistry and crystallography. All parts of the science
had undergone transformation and there had been new
discoveries. After presenting a generalization of these
events, Hausmann explains that these changes are digested
into this introduction. In this first part, the basic
concepts of the science are covered. Included is material
on terminology, theoretical principles, nomenclature, and
systematic classification. The second portion of the
work was published in two volumes and consists of the
descriptive mineralogy. As in the previous edition, all know
mineral species are described in the classification devised
by Hausmann.
The first volume was also issued under the title:

Haüy
HAUY, René Just. (Born: St.-Just-en-Chaussée,
Oise, France, 28 February 1743; DIED: Paris, France,
1 June 1822) French mineralogist & crystallographer.
Born to a poor family, Haüy received a good classical
and theological education by means of a scholarship to
the College de Navarre in Paris. In 1770, after he was
ordained a priest, Haüy was assigned a teaching post at
the College Cardinal Lemoine. There he became interested
in botany, but after attending DAUBENTON's lectures on
mineralogy he turned his attention to mineralogy. Haüy
was elected an associate member of the Paris Academy of
Science in February 1783. In 1793, after the publication of
his Essai d'une Théorie sur la Structure des Cristaux (Paris,
1794), Haüy left teaching to devote his full attention to
mineralogical studies. During the French revolution, he
placed himself in jeopardy by refusing to swear the oath
required by the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. He was
arrested, but through the efforts of his former student,
E. GEOFFROY Saint-Hilaire, Haüy was released the night
before the others prisoners were executed. In 1793 he was
appointed to the Commission of Weights and Measures.
Also, in 1793, he attempted unsuccessfully to gain the
release of A. LAVOISIER. In 1795, he was appointed an
instructor of physics and mineralogy at the Ecole des Mines
(School of Mines). After the death of D. DOLOMIEU, he
succeeded to the post of professor of mineralogy at the
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Natural History),
where he greatly enlarged the mineral collection. In 1809,
Haüy also assumed the newly created chair of mineralogy
at the Sorbonne. He retained these posts until his death.
Haüy's own 12,000 specimen mineral collection was
sold in 1823 to the Duke of Buckingham. In 1848, it was
returned to France when the Jardine des Plantes purchased
it from the Duke's heirs. Today, over 6,000 specimens
labeled in Haüy's handwriting have been identified.

VERY SCARCE. Haüy's first printed book, this work
was insturmental in establishing a solid foundation on
which modern theories of crystal structure rest. In it,
Haüy brought together the advances in crystallography
made by Rome de l'lsle, Bergman and others into a
coherent structural theory, based on the structural unit,
the "molecule constituante" (later renamed by him to
"molecule integrante") . Haüy's model depicted crystals
as built up out of these molecular units which were
polyhedral in form. Haüy also theorized a common
"nucleus" or "primitive form" for all crystals of the
same "species." This primative form was often revealed
by cleavage of a crystal symmetrically along its angles
and edges. Haüy's theory of crystal structure changed
little in its essentials during the remainder of his
career, which went on for almost forty years after the
publication of the Essai.
After the introduction, the text is divided into ten
articles, the first two of which describe the structure
of crystals based upon primary and secondary forms.
The next seven articles apply the theory to various
minerals, while the final chapter gives observations and
conjectures on the formation of crystals.

VERY RARE. Prior to the publication of his great
work, Traité de Minéralogie (Paris, 1801) and perhaps
at the urging of the French revolutionary council, Haüy
published an extract of the first volume in the Journal
des Mines [see 29, ?????]. It apparently generated
enough interest that this very scarce book containing
a reprint of that article and the accompanying 3 plates
was prepared from it. In the advertisement, Coquebert
informs the public that Citizen Haüy is totally engaged
in completing the manuscript of his great work that will
contain many new observations about cyrstallography
and mineralogy as outlined in this Extrait.

utilize the larger paper size, and based on the Errata,
this appears to be an earlier issue of the Traité, which
perhaps for economic reasons of paper and binding
material was reduced in size to the more common octavo
issue. The Freilich Sale Catalog calls this a large paper
issue, which it is not. The text is completely reset,
rather than being printed on a larger paper size stock.
So far only four copies of this issue has been located.

SCARCE. This work is arguably the most influential
work written in the historical development of mineralogy
and crystallography. It far superseded any previous
attempt to create a mineralogical classification. It is a
work of comprehensive insight, and much of it, written in
literary fluency, repays the casual curiosity of mineralogists
and historians of science. Haüy's magnum opus containing
his theory of crystal structure and his system of mineral
classification. Haüy's law of decrement states led his
successors directly to the law of rational indices, one of the
fundamental laws of modern crystallography. This work
was immediately recognized as the most important offered
by France to the science of mineralogy, one that placed
the country at the forefront of the European nations in
this science. In it the author makes crystallography the
basis of his determination of mineral species, relegating the
data derived from chemical analysis to second rank. The
mathematical precision with which the crystallographic
facts could be presented provided an absolutely exact basis
for mineralogy which it had lacked before that time, as the
correctness of the crystallographic determinations could
always be proved by rigid geometrical tests.
In his mineral classification, Haüy believed that
chemistry played a secondary rôle to crystallography in
determining species groups. The work also contains Haüy's
discovery of piezo-electricity.
The work opens with a Preliminary Discourse that
assumes the character of a literary dissertation, generally
philosophic, frequently eloquent, and always dignified
and learned. Haüy first draws comparisons between the
study of minerals and the obvious charms of zoology and
botany, with their living subjects to study. He then
explains the mysteries of the science. The polyhedral
shape of crystals for example can bring mathematical
precision to the science. Haüy notes the easy separation
of natural substances into stones, salts, bitumens, and
metals, the quick recognition of crystals, the artificial and
purely empirical classification of minerals, by their external
characters, combined with a few simple reactions, as the
effervescing of carbonates, the later systems of Cronstedt,
Bergman, Born, Kirwan, etc., when analysis usurped the
place of mere inspection. He emphasizes the importance
of distinguishing varieties, as in calcite, a conviction he
incorporated into his description of the minerals. He also
illustrates the value of analysis in alluding to the mineral
smithsonite that was first regarded as a zeolite, later
as heavy spar, and then shown conclusively by chemical
analysis to be a salt of zinc.

RARE. A considerably revised, corrected and enlarged
version of the first edition. It provides a general treatise
on mineralogy taking up half of the first volume, with the
remainder being the beginning of a systematic descriptive
mineralogy which extends through volume four. The last
volume also contains an index to the entire work and a list
of subscribers. The atlas plates show some mineralogical
apparatus and many hundreds of crystal drawings.

SCARCE. In 1809, Haüy issued his Tableau
Comparatif, which had the stated objective that it
would give those who had followed his course of lectures
a complete tabulation of his mineralogical methods,
updated to include the discoveries and observations the
science had gained since the publication of his Traité de
Minéralogie (Tableau, p. i).
Yet the Tableau Comparatif was more than a mere
compendium of recent mineralogical statistics. Since
the publication in 1801 of the Traité, Haüy's theories
had come increasingly under attack. Specifically, his
fundemental concept that every definite crystalline
form or "molecule integrant" is characteristic of only
one substance of definite chemical composition, and
conversely that every substance of definite chemical
composition can occur in only one definite crystalline
form, drew Haüy into the Proust/Berthollet controversy
about fixed versus variable proportions in chemical
compositions.
Haüy's insistence upon the "molecule integrant"
being the unique, fixed criteria for determining every
mineral species lead him to implicitly accept the
chemical law of fixed proportions long before Proust
had declared it (Hooykaas, 1952). This position was
in direct opposition to Berthollet, who believed that
chemical composition was not fixed as Proust and Haüy
claimed, but rather was of a variable nature. Therefore,
in his 1803 Essai De Statique Chimique, Berthollet
assailed Haüy's ideas about fixed mineral species in
an elaborate note (Essai, 1, 433—449; Hooykaas, 1952).
In answer to Berthollet's criticisms Haüy wrote the
Tableau Comparatif which defended his position on the
"molecule integrant" and its importance in uniquely
defining a mineral species.
The book is divided essentially into two parts. The
first is a "Methodical distribution of mineral species
principally determined with the aid of crystallography,"
while the second is titled, "Notes relating to the results
of the analyses and other points on the philosophy of
mineralogy."

VERY SCARCE. A landmark book in the science
of gemology, described by Sinkankas (1994) as "the
first determinative gemology worthy of the name."
This book marks a transition from earlier descriptive
lapadaries to works based on scientific studies. The
volume describes the crystallography and physical
properties of various gemstones, and characterizes how
these qualities might be used in identifying a stone,
whether rough or cut. To facilitate this an identification
table is provided. The three plates show various crystal
forms, a Nicholson's hydrometer (used for measuring
specific gravity) and other laboratory apparatus for
testing electrical properties.

HEBENSTREIT, Johann Ernst. (Born: Neustadt-
Orla, Germany, 15 January 1702; DIED: Leipzig,
Germany, 5 December 1757) German physician,
botanist & natural historian.
From 1719, Hebenstreit studied the subjects of
medicine and natural hisotry at the Universities of Jena
and Leipzig. At Leipzig in 1728 he was awarded the
degree of master ol philosophy, and in 1730 he graduated
as a doctor of medicine based upon the dissertation, De
viribus minerarum et mineralium medicamentosis (Leipzig,
1730). While at Leipzig, Hebenstreit had come under
the influence of August Quirinus Rivinus [1652—1723], who
introduced him to the field of botany. Upon his graduation,
Hebenstreit found a position at the royal botanical gardens
of the city. On behalf of Saxon King August II, Hebenstreit
along with five companions, including Christian Gottlob
Ludwig [q. v.], travelled from 1731 to 1733 on an extended
expedition throughout North Africa. Their task was
to collect natural history specimens as well as living
animals, and bring them back to Leipzig. Upon the
expeditions return, Hebenstreit took over as ordinary
professor of physiology at the University of Leipzig. When
the oppurtunity arrived, he also moved in succession to
the professorships of anatomy and surgery, pathology and
therapy.
Hebenstreit published works deal mostly with the
anatomical and physiological aspects of medicine. His
writings are based upon practical experience, and his
Anthropologie Forensis (Leipzig, 1751) is among the first
publications to show a connection between forensic
medicine and the law. Hebenstreit was also interested
in ancient medicine as it compared to his contemporary
knowledge. He authored Erklärung Greich. Wörter von
Krankheiten des menschlichen Körpers (1st ed., Leipzig,
1751), which is a glossary explaining Greek words that
describe diseases of the human body. In natural history,
Hebenstreit attempted to improve the system of plant
classification by dividing plants based upon their fruits,
and he devised a system for crustaceans and fish after their
outer organs. Hebenstreit was voted a membership to the
Leopoldian Akademie in 1731.

VERY SCARCE. A lavish book, describing and
illustrating the minerals, fossils, gems and other objects
of natural history contained in the collection of Johann
Christoph Richter [see note below]. Richter had studied
in his youth philosophy and literature; however, he
succumbed to family wishes and pursued a successful
career in business, which included dealing with glass
making sands and coloring agents. Curious about the
origins of the products he sold, Richter traveled to the
mines that produced the agents. There he had his first
introduction to the mineral specimens that he would
spend the remainder of his life collecting. Richter wrote
in the preface to this book: "The collection ... grew
from day to day, to such an extent that it became
necessary to sort the specimens into categories and
arrange them on shelves and in display cabinets. As the
number of shelves kept growing, my love for these things
grew also, so that after a while, whatever time I had left
over from the management of my personal or business
affairs, I dedicated to their study and care" (Wilson
(1994). Fortunately, Richter decided that some record
of his collection and its organization should be preserved
so that others might learn from his experience. For this
purpose the services of Johann Ernst Hebenstreit were
retained to write the systematic catalog and Christian
Friedrich Boëtius [see note below] to illustrate the book
with faithful engravings. The resultant book is Mvsevm
Richterianvm.
The volume begins with a dedication to Saxon
Prince Friedrich Christian and Richter's preface
describing the development of his collection and the
preparation of the catalog. Following this is a
detailed discussion of the development of natural
history collecting and systematic mineralogy. For
this Hebenstreit draws upon earlier authorities and
books by Pliny, Dioscorides, Aldrovandus, Henckel,
Agrícola, Gesner, Woodward, Linnaeus, Theophrastus,
Caesalpinus, Mercati, etc. Ordered by the principal
metal contained, the minerals and ores are then
methodically discussed. Each metal is covered is in
its own chapter, with the different mineral species
and varieties that contain the metal listed underneath.
Other chapters cover the sulfides, bitumen, salts, clays,
"earths," quartz, and the gems. In each chapter
after the systematic presentation, Richter's specimens
are described with notes about association, habit and
locality. Following the large mineralogical section of the
work, other objects of Richter's collection are described.
Included are marble, fossils, and preserved biological
specimens. Finally, appended at the end and illustrated
by three plates is a dissertation concerning the antique
gem cameos contained in Richter's collection by Johann
Friedrich Christ [see note below]. This work is titled:
Mvsei Richteriani Dactyliotheca Gemnas Scalptas
Opere Antiqvo Plerasqve Complexa Interprete loh.
Frider. Christo. It follows the main treatise by
Hebenstreit and may have in its history been separately
issued as its own book. For further information on
Christ and this work see, Sinkankas, J.S. (1993): nos.
1297 and 1831.
A significant feature of Mvsevm Richterianvm
are the splendid plates. These include a large
folding engraved frontispiece showing the interior of
the museum, a full page portrait of Richter engraved
after a 1739 painting by M. Bernigerothi and thirteen
other plates realistically depicting 114 fine mineral
specimens from Richter's collection. Two states of
these plates exist. The most common issue are the
uncolored which for their early date outshine many
black and white mineral illustrations of later centuries.
The second much rarer state is when the plates are
superbly colored. More than likely, these were colored
using the specimens themselves as models because
very few colored mineralogies show the realistic, 3—
dimensional quality present in almost everyone of the
illustrations. Unfortunately, no information has been
uncovered pointing to the colorist who tinted the plates,
but with their skill, they created what is perhaps the
finest hand— colored mineralogy.

Heddle
1751) German banker & mineral collector. A wealthy
Leipzig banker, he built a large mineral collection of 2,309
specimens, plus gems, rocks, fossils and botanical examples
for a total of 5,631 items in all. The museum was sold
in 1751, with a few specimens being acquired by JOHANN
Heinrich Linck.
Christian Friedrich Boëtius. (BORN: Leipzig, Germany,
1706; DIED: Dresden, Germany, 1782) German copper
engraver. Boëtius was born the son of a bookseller
and auctioneer. At an early age he was apprenticed to
the Leipzig goldsmith Johann Friedrich Lauch. Boëtius
was further artistically trained at the Zeichenakademie
in Leipzig, where he remained four years. His highly
developed skill as a copper plate engraver soon provided
him with a steady flow of customers in Leipzig; however,
sometime after 1736, Boëtius accepted a position in
Dresden as court etcher and instructor at the local art
academy. He remainded there until his death.

mineralogist.
Heddle graduated with an M. D. from the University
of Edinburgh in 1851. When he attended the University of
Edinburgh, Heddle took R. Jameson's lectures on natural
history topics. While he was practicing medicine in
Edinburgh, Heddle became interested in mineralogy and
geology, particularly as they related to his native land.
Around 1856, he was appointed assistant professor of
chemistry at the University of St. Andrews. He became
a full professor in 1862, and continued to teach until his
retirement in 1885. It is recorded that Heddle used a
portion of his income to purchase equipment and supplies
for the mineralogical laboratory at St. Andrews. Heddle
decided early in his career to focus his considerable energy
on the study of mineralogy in Scotland. To this purpose, he
made many excursions throughout the country, collecting
minerals. Even the most remote deposits were accessible
to his unflagging energy and ingenuity. As a consequence,
Heddle amassed a large collection of minerals and agates,
Heddle
particularly rich in Scottish localities. The collection is now
housed in the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh. Heddle
was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and
president of the Geological Society of Edinburgh in the year
1851. He was also elected President of the Mineralogical
Society of Great Britain in 1879.

VERY SCARCE. This unsurpassed compilation
of Scottish minerals is among the best topographical
mineralogies yet written. It was the product of the
author's lifelong desire to publish a comprehensive work
on the mineralogy of his homeland, but at his death the
manuscript remained unfinished. The notes were left to
Alexander Thorns, who placed the work of completion
in the competent hands of the mineralogist John George
Goodchild [1844-1906].
Goodchild's responsibility was to sift through the
mass of detail recorded in the notes and with as little
alteration as possible create the two volumes of the
present work. It must have been difficult. Many of
the localities were laborious to identify, having been
phonetically spelt by Heddle in his early journeys and
not existing on any maps. Further, it was not clear
what specimens related to the many figures the author
had created, or what is the meaning of their symbols.
Heddle was a competent draughtsman, and there are
no less than 103 plates each containing about eight
figures that accompany the two volumes. However,
many of these figures come from other sources, having
been redrawn by Heddle, with no clear indication as
to their value in the identification of Scottish species.
Goodchild not knowing the importance of the drawings,
decided to include them all.
In addition to the plates, a remarkable feature
of the book are a number of beautiful and elaborate
stereographic and gnomonic projections drawn by
Wilbert Goodchild. The only book prior to The
Mineralogy of Scotland that had included such
illustrations was Alfred Louis Olivier Legrand Des
Cloizeaux's [q. v.] Manuel de Minéralogie (2 vols. Sz
atlas, Paris, 1862—93), and they are not as elaborate as
those in the present work.
Volume one begins with Thorns memoir on the
life and accomplishments of Heddle, and progresses
through systematic and alphabetical lists of Scottish
minerals. James Currie has added a complete list of
Scottish pseudomorphs. Concluding the introductory
material is an index of minerals arranged according to
the counties where they are found. The bulk of the
work is then presented. This is a descriptive mineralogy
arranged upon a chemical classification of the just over
200 mineral species found in Scotland. Every locality
where the species is known to occur is enumerated.
The description includes the kind of rock in which the
mineral occurs, and a statement of other associated
species. In addition, an account of the crystalline forms
and of the physical and chemical properties is given for
each species. Under some minerals can be found an
interesting historical commentary. Goodchild has also
added greatly to the work's value by the inclusion at
the end of a very complete synonymic index of locality
names, in which he has taken great pains to give the
exact situation of the place.

Heinitz (or Heynitz) was a member of an important
aristocracy family in Saxony. He attended the Universities
of Dresden and Freiberg, where he studied mining and
smelting. In 1765, he was put in charge of mining,
smelting, and forestry in Saxony and immediately founded
the Bergakademie Freiberg, now the oldest mining school in
the world. He is considered as the reformer of the mining

describes minerals, rocks, stones, ores, etc. while
the second part provides descriptions of techniques
in assaying and metallurgy. Typical of the period,
all types of mineralogical objects are described
including such odd materials as fossils, figured stones,
precious and semiprecious gems and other curiosities
derived from the earth. Also included are recipes
for manufacturing colored glasses and discussions of
artificial gemstones. Basic facts are included in the
descriptions such as localities, physical properties and
uses in medicine and industry.

SCARCE. Christian von Hellwig published this work
under the pseudonym Valentin Kräutermann. The text
describes all aspects of mineralogy but with special
attention paid to the medical benefits. The author
describes historic uses of minerals and provides quite
detailed commentary on specific species. These include the
noble metals of silver and gold as well as the technological
materials of copper, tin, lead, and zinc. Procedures for
assaying ores are outlined and information on how to
overcome purity problems are given. The frontispiece shows
a woodcut scene of a mine with wench and ore hoist in the
foreground and a scenic view in the background.
The text is divided into two parts. The first treats
metals and their associated minerals and covers, gold,
silver, copper, iron &¿ steel, zinc, lead and mercury. The
second provides methods for distinguishing between gold
and silver by means of acids, heating, and combinations
with other fluxes and compounds like antimony, lead and
copper. Another section explains how to differentiate
between gold and silver and the other metals like copper,
iron, zinc, lead and mercury. Methods and procedures for
assaying various ores are then presented.

HENCKEL, Johann Friedrich. (Born: Merseburg,
Germany, 1 August 1678; DIED: Freiburg, Germany, 26
January 1744) German mining expert.
The son of the town physician, in 1698, Heckel
enrolled at the University of Jena to study theology;
however, he switched to medicine and in a few years
transferred to Dresden, where he opened a medical practice,
without obtaining an M.D. In 1711, he resumed his medical
studies at the University of Halle, taking an M.D. under
G.E. STAHL. Subsequently, Henckel relocated to the mining
town of Freiberg in Saxony. There he practiced medicine
for 18 years, becoming district physician in 1718 and
town physician and mine physician in 1721. For pleasure,
Henckel provided courses in chemistry and preformed
chemical experiments. This lead to his publication of
several works important works [described below]. In 1730,
under the patronage of an influential noble, he resigned his
post. Eventually he was appointed councilor of mines, and
was able to establish a large laboratory in Freiberg. There,
he resumed his annual course in metallurgical chemistry,
teaching six students of a time. Among his distinguished
pupils were A.S. M ARGGRAF and M.V. LOMONOSOV. This
course became renowned throughout Europe, and was
probably instrumental in the founding of the Freiberg
Bergakademie in 1765.

SCARCE. Henckel, director of the mining works at
Freiberg, was called by Partington the "father of min-
eral chemistry." In the famous Kieshistorie he has writ-
ten a monograph on the single topic of pyrite. Henckel
recognizeds three types: golden iron pyrites, golden
copper pyrites and white arsenic pyrites. Within the
body of the text, he proceeds to describe, experiment
and speculate upon each of these types. Henckel uses
physical properties such as hardness and crystal form,
chemical composition including the amounts of sulphur,
arsenic, copper, etc contained, and speculates on why
pyrite is usually found in association with rich veins
of ore. It is an encyclopedic work on the subject, and
exerted a strong influence of subsequent investigators
engaged in mineral analysis.
The attractive and charmingly primitive fron-
tispiece depicts ore being transported from the mine to
a smelting shed and other aspects of mining life. The
plates depict pyrites in their various forms.

distinguishes several species of pyrites, (4) beds (outcrops)
of pyrites, (5) the production and generation of pyrites, (6)
description of iron pyrites, (7) description of copper pyrites,
(8) examines the unmetallic earths found in pyrites, (9)
sulphur in pyrites, (10) arsenic in pyrites, (11) silver in
pyrites, (12) gold in pyrites, (13) discusses theories of the
formation of pyrites, (14) vitriol of pyrites, (15) explains
several uses of pyrites, especially in reference to making
sulphur, and (16) a history of Hessian pyrites, called Terra

HENSLOW, John Stevens. (BORN: Rochester, Kent,
England, 6 February 1796; DIED: Hitcham, Suffolk,
England, 16 May 1861) English botanist.
Born into a large family, Henslow was educated in the
country, where he developed a love for nature. He kept this
interest when he entered in 1814, Cambridge University,
where he studied mathematics, chemistry, and mineralogy
(under Clarke). Botany was his true interest, however. He
eventually became a professor of Botany at Cambridge, a
position which he kept the remainder of his professional
life.

VERY RARE. In 1818 Henslow was elected a fellow
of the Linnean Society and in 1819 a fellow of the
Geological Society of London. He prepared an extensive
geological survey of the Island of Anglesea that was
published as "Geological Description of Anglesea,"
(Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1
(1822), 359-452). This led to his election to the chair of
mineralogy at Cambridge in 1822. In that capacity he
gave lectures on the subject to his students, of which the
present work is the accompanying text to those classes.
However, Henslow was more interested in botany, and
in 1825 when the position opened, he offered himself as
a candidate and was elected unopposed to the chair of
botany. So Henslow's Syllabus was in use at Cambridge
for only a few years.

1875) English mining expert.
English mineralogist and mining expert. From 1832
to 1838, Henwood was the supervisor of tin production in
Cornwall. He then became a consulting engineer until 1843
when he took charge of the Gongo-Soco mines in Brazil. He
reported to the Indian government on the potential metal
production of Kumaon and Gurhwal in 1855. In the late
1860's he retired to Cornwall and became in 1869 President
of the Royal Institution of Cornwall. He was elected Fellow
of both the Royal Society (1840) and the Geological Society
(1828); from the later he received the Muchison Medal in
1874. A hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum named

to correlate the entire world's metalloferous deposits
against one another in order to develop relationships
and similarities with their mineralization and internal
structure. Contained in the text are descriptions
of many of the major world-wide mineral resources
of the time, all examined by the author during his
distinguished career. The text is then divided into two
major parts. The first provides descriptions of mineral
resources in North- Western India, Kumanon, Guhwal,
Bengal, Chili, including Chañarcillo &õ Copiapò, Brazil,
especially Minas Geraës, North America, including
Virginia, Michigan and New Brunswick, Jamaica,
Spain, France, The Channel Islands, Ireland, and Great
Britain, especially Perthshire and Cornwall. The second
portion of the work describes the author's meticulous
records on the water temperatures of mines described
in the first part. Many folding plates and tables
at the end of the second section illustrate methods
of ore production and cross-sections of various mines
described in part one.

HERBALS.
See also: Arbolayre (or Grant Herbier).
In a descriptive bibliography of mineralogy, it would seem
that the merits of the early herbals would seem limited, but
the facts are quite different. As a group, this type of book
records the late medieval view of the natural world in terms
of how nature could be used to benefit man. Relationships
and the uses of plants, animals and minerals discussed
in these texts offers insight into the early development of
medicine, agriculture and pharmaceutical therapies for the
common person. In short, the herbals retain their relevancy
to early mineral studies.
The early printed herbals are among the most
remarkable of the stream of books printed in the incunabula
period because they are milestones in the history of printing
and scientific illustration. Although the name implies a
strictly botanical treatise, this class of book refers to a
practical medical text intended for both physicians and the
common folk. It appeared in reaction against the expensive
apothecary, calling attention to a wide range of easily
available natural remedies derived from plants, animals and
minerals. In their time, these volumes were a very popular
technical literature, and regularly relied upon by their
readers to provide cures for various ailments. However,
because of this career, many copies of these volumes were
destroyed, and the long history of the survivors is reflected
in their usually sad condition.
The beauty, rarity and inaccessibility of the herbals
has both spurred and stymied bibliographical research,
and caused much in the way of publication. As a result
errors in the literature have been introduced or permitted
to stand. Besides elucidating the mineralogical content
of these books, the purpose of this study is to hopefully
unravel the bibliographical knot of the herbals.
Most of the information related to the herbals has
occurred due to bibliographical scholarship in botany.
However, a perplexing problem in this field is the confusion
over the various titles by which the early herbals are
known. For the current study, the system proposed by
Arnold Klebs in his description of the Becher collection
is used. Klebs assigns priority to the 1484 printing by
Schoeffer of the Herbarius, which contains 150 illustrated
chapters. All subsequent appearances of this work will
incorporate as a compiler's comment the word HERBARIUS
at the beginning of the title. Schoeffer's second herbal

History
Herbals: Herbarius Latinus
comprising 435 chapters, was published at Mainz in 1485
and was termed Der Gart by Klebs but in this study is
referred to as GART. This designation will appear at the
beginning of each appropriate title. The final member of
the herbal triad consists of 1,066 chapters and is referred
to by the descriptor HORTUS. In the past, these three
distinct families have been bibliographically confused, with
some researchers stating that they are translations of each
other, which is not possible. By relying on the number of
chapters within the text, 150, 435 and 1,066 respectively, it
is possible to untangle the bibliographies of the Herbarius,
Gart and Hortus.

Editio PRINCEPS. Very rare. This is the first
herbal printed in Germany, from the shop of Peter
Schoeffer [see note below], one of the first printers,
which issued from his press at Mainz in 1484. Herbals
were so called because they described medical remedies
derived chiefly, but not solely, from herbs and plants,
which were then the major source of medicines. As
is shown by it rapid transmission through original and
pirated editions, Schoeffer's Herbarius rapidly became
one of the most popular and useful handbooks for
the general public and medical communities. The
woodcut illustrations of plants helped to sustain it
popularity, and these pictures were copied and recopied
in subsequent editions.
The Herbarius shows every sign of being a
compilation rather than an original work, for it quotes
material drawn from classical, Arabic, and medieval
sources, none of which appeared later than a century
before the Herbarius was printed. No manuscript of
it has been discovered as yet, and the original source
of its illustrations remains unidentified. However, the
plant species described are all found in central-northern
Europe, which perhaps points to a Germanic source
of the text. Schoeffer probably discovered an older
manuscript which he cornmited to the press.
The text of the book is divided into seven
parts: (1) De virtutibus herbarum, which is the major
portion describes 150 German herbs and plants in
brief chapters, each illustrated by a woodcut, (2) De
sirnplicibus laxativis et lenitivis, provides information
on 12 simple laxatives, (3) De sirnplicibus comfortativis,
describes in 16 chapters various spices, (4) De fructibus
et serninibus et radicibus, 22 chapters on fruits and

16 chapters on minerals, stones and salts, including
alum, silver, coral, lapis lazuli, sulphur, tartar, and
(7) De animalibus et provenientibus ab eis, in 20
capters describes pharmacological products derived
from various animals.
The first edition of the Herbarius exists in several
variations, none of which constitutes a separate edition,
but rather each reflects a condition that occurred during
the printing of the book. For convenience they are
listed as Al, A2, A3, Bl, B2, and B3. Al has the
title on its first leaf, printed in red or black, and
also bears the date of 1484 and Schoeffer's device.
A2 transposes the woodcuts for chapters 42 and 48
(Cuscuta and Cannabis), and misnumbers chapter 75
as 73. A3 corrects the misnumbering but allows the
exchanged illustrations to remain uncorrected. Bl
has its first leaf blank (i.e., no title page), B2 places
the woodcuts for chapters 42 and 48 in their proper
positions, but misnumbers 75 as 73, and B3 corrects the
misnumbering, but retains the transposed illustrations
in chapters 42 and 48.
Johann von Cube. (BoRN: ; DIED: Franckfurt

Dronnecke (or Wonnecke) von Caub or Cuba) lived at the
end of the 15th century in Augsburg. He was physician to
Adolf III of Nassau and Adalberts of Saxony. In 1484, he

city physician. For centuries, he was considered the author
behind the Herbarius (1484), but more recent research
shows that he was at most an editor.
Peter Schoeffer. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German printer.
Schoeffer started as a calligrapher in Paris before coming
to Mainz where he served as foreman in Guttenburg's shop.
After Johann Fust repossessed Gutenburg's equipment in
1455/56 he employed Schoeffer to do the printing as well
as produce type for it. Later, Schoeffer married Fust's
daughter and ultimately inherited the business.

Extremely RARE. A short time after Schoeffer's
Herbarius appeared in 1484, the printers Johann and
Conrad Hist [see notes below] issued a pirated edition
of the book from their press at Speya. While the
arrangement of the material and the text is identical to
Schoeffer's work, the woodcut illustrations for the most
part are reverse the direction of the original work —
a necessecary consequence of tracing the unreveresed
originals into the cutter's block. The woodcuts in this
Hist edition of the Herbarius also show a bit more
artistic flare in their execution.
Of the many editions of the Herbarius the one
printed by the Hist brothers is probably the rarest, and
it is among the rarest of all printed herbals. In late
1484, a short while after it was printed, the printing
activities of the Hist brothers were interrupted, and
they made no further use of the Herbarius type until
1489. Consequently, eventhough this edition bears no
printed date, its year is firmly fixed at 1484, but after
the publication of Schoeffer's edition.
Conrad Hist. (BORN: ; DIED: 1531) German printer.
and Johann Hist (BORN: ; DIED: before 1492), brothers
and German printers.

VERY RARE. Pirated reprint of Schoeffer's
Herbarius Latinus by Johann Petri [see note below]
differing primarily in some of the German synonyms
due to local differences in dialect and to the fact the
many illustrations are mirror images of the originals.
This is the first dated work from Petri's press and the
first of several editions of the herbal to issue from his

press.
The woodcut illustrations are generally the same
as those in the Mainz edition, but they are slightly
different and usually reveresed. Two plants (nos. 28
and 30) have different numbers than those in either the
Mainz 1484 or the Passau 1486 editions. In some copies
of this edition woodcut numbers 96 and 148 are printed
upside down.
Johann Petri. (BORN: 1441; DIED: 1512) German
printer. The earliest work bearing a date with which Petri
has been connected is the Herbari us of 1485, the latest a
Calendar for 1493.

VERY RARE. Veldener 's Latin edition of the
Herbarius. Earlier bibliographies considered this
edition to have been published before Schoeffer'sherbal.
However, Veldener printed this edition after having
issued at Kuilenburg a Dutch translation dated 1484.
He returned later that year to Louvain and issued this
Latin edition for the academic market of the town.
Therefore, it is probably later than Schoeffer's edition.
Klebs/Becher: "The figures, except one, are all
the same as in the Mainz edition, but generally reversed;
plant 2 (Abrotanum) is from a different drawing.
Generally, Veldener's woodcuts have a little more work
in the way of crossed lines." The text is identical with
Schoeffer's edition except that the German names of
plants have been replaced with Netherlandish names.

InCIPIT TrATATUS DE UIRTUTIBUS HER.BARUM, 1491
Herbarius to be printed in Italy, which is why the
German synonyms have been omitted. It was printed
by Leonardus Achates and Guilielmus de Papia [see
notes below]. The woodcuts of the plants have been
influenced by the the design of the German cuts, but
in this edition they are newly executed with somewhat
finer detail. The text and arrangement are identical to
Schoeffer's edition, but without the German synoyms.
Although new to this work, the title woodcut
of two figures was used the year before in an edition
of Piero Crescentio's Opus Raralium Commodorum to
represent Crescentio preparing the book for his patron
Charles of Anjou. In the present work, the cut is used
to represent Arnoldus de Villa Nova discussing botany
with Avicenna. The omission of the woodcut figures in
subsequent editions where the names of Arnoldus and
Avicenna were retained in type in their present location
led to false idea of authorship of this work by Arnoldus.
The numbers to the woodcuts 113 and 119 are
exchanged by misprint.
Leonardus Achates. (BORN: ; DIED: 1491) Italian
printer. Achates was the first printer in Vicenza.
Guilielmus De Papia. (BORN: ; DIED: ) Italian
printer.

Rare. This is the third edition of the 'Herbarius
Latinus' printed by Johannes and Bernarinus Rubeus
in Venice, and the fourth printed in Italy. With two
exceptions, these are the blocks cut for the 1491 Vicenza
edition, which were transferred to Venice and used by
Simone Bevilacqua for his 1499 edition; two of the
blocks are copies of the originals, with one reversed.
The blocks were used again for the 1502 Giunta edition,
which the above is a page-for-page reprint of. The
preface attributes the work to Arnoldus de Villanova,
as does the 1502 edition, which was copying an error in
the text of the 1499.
Despite the fact that the 'Herbarius' originated in
Germany, it 'sold as well in Italy, as it did in Germany,
if not better. There its second section may have
contributed to its success, for it was concerned with
materials of medicine that were commonly available
in the shops of apothecaries and spice merchants...
The second section has 96 chapters, though many of
them are very brief. They deal with the following:
laxatives; aromatice, fruits, seed, and plants of garden
and orchard; gums and resins; salts; minerals and
stones; and a variety of animals and their products, such
as goose-grease, cheese, honey, and ivory" (Anderson,
An illustrated history of the herbals p. 86). The
Italian woodcuts are based on the German'Herbarius'
cuts 'but all are newly designed, being finer in execution
and the lines more delicate, and for the greater part
quite different' (Klebs). Nissen considered them more
delicate and Arber 'more ambitious... and, on the
whole... more naturalistic' (Herbals p. 192).

RARE. Second edition of the Italian translation. The
order of the herbs is slightly different than the 1522 edition.
Two additional chapters are present: Mele (Honey) and
Vino e aceto. The illustrations for these additions (one
representing two tree trunks with bees, the other a wine
cellar with casks) are not copied from any edition of the
Herbarius, but are copied from the Latin Hortus Sanitatis.
The title woodcut is probably printed here for the first time
and copies of it appear in the later Herbolario editions.
Essling reproduces two variants of this cut with the two
medical saints (2, p. 462) from later editions of the Italian
translation (1536 and 1539).

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. The second
herbal to be printed by Peter Schoeffer came from
his press at Mainz on the 28th of March, 1485. It
immediately eclipsed all previous works of a similar
nature, and formed the foundation for all herbals that
followed it. Although it bore no title page, Der Gart was
clearly and definitively named by Schoeffer in the book's
own foreword. There it was called Ortus Sanitatis
and its German equivalent, Gart der Gesuntheyt, the
Garden of Good Health. Despite that fact, cataloguers

Herbals: Gart der Gesundheit
and bibliographers, for nonsensical reasons best left to
them to explain, decided to call the work variously
Herbarius zu Teutsch, Hortus Sanitatis Germanice,
and the Smaller Hortus or Hortus Minor. None of
that identified the book properly, but it did succeed
in confusing three entirely separate publications,
Schöffer's Herbarius and Gart der Gesuntheyt, and
Meydenbach's Hortus Sanitatis of 1491. The works
held 150, 435, and 1066 chapters respectively, so it
is impossible to understand how anyone could fail to
distinguish them. Nothing, however, is beyond the
powers of the cloistered specialists. It was not until
1925, when Arnold Klebs established the system of
referring to the books as the Herbarius, Der Gart, and
the Hortus, that the tangle was resolved. The sad
fact remains, though, that not all libraries have taken
Klebs's advice even as yet.
The 435 chapters of Der Gart are written in
the dialect of southern Germany, 368 of them dealing
with plants of medicinal value; and eleven with animal
substances. Each of those is illustrated with a woodcut
picturing its subject, and the majority are highly
identifiable, well drawn, and artistically executed.
Understandably the cuts of material outside the artists'
direct experience are either poorly done or fictitious.
That was a consequence of their arrival in Europe,
from distant parts of Asia and Africa, in dry, shrunken,
broken, or powdered condition. Some fifty-six chapters
were left unillustrated since their commonly known
substances, such as cheese, water, flour or lead, did not
seem to call for picturization. Among them are four
liquids, fourteen items of animal origin, fifteen plant
drugs and products, and twenty-three minerals.
The artist responsible for the designs remains
unknown, although the name of Erhard Reuwich, or his
studio, is most often put forward on stylistic grounds.
That remains debatable in the absence of any contract
or other record. The same anonymity attaches to the
text, which is obviously a compilation, and of which
no original manuscript exists. There are, however,
some signs of a single guiding editorial intelligence
in the consistency of stylistic mannerisms and certain
practices. For instance, none of the extracts from
earlier works, save for direct quotations, have been
allowed to stand in a raw, unrevised state. There is
also evidence of cleverly concealed padding through the
use of rare synonyms to disguise repeated matter; for
example, Tormentill also appears as Filia, and Manna as
Tereniabin. These appear to be a deliberate contrivance
since more common synonyms, but easily recognizable
ones, were available. The name of one physician who
would have been familiar with such terms actually
appears in Chapter 76, on Armenian bole, as Master
Johan van Cube. This has been thought to refer to one
of Schöffer's associates, Johann Wonnecke van Caub,
Town Physician of Frankfurt, site of Schöffer's home.
No record exists, however, that substantiates such an
identification.
In the meantime, while Der Gart's mysteries may
persist, the work remains a masterpiece, and is the
earliest printed monument of scientific illustration.

which the original was pirated is a testament to the
efficiency of an early press and indicates that several

compositors must have been employed on the project.
However, because Schönsperger at the time only had
access to a large type, the book increased from 369
leaves, instead of Schoeffer's 359. In time Schönsperger
became the most productive of the early printer of
Herbals, with eight or nine different editions coming
from his press between 1485 and 1499, or more than
half of the German editions published that century.
The woodcuts are copies of Schoeffer's originals,
mostly reveresed and somewhat smaller. Choulant
believes these illustrations to be of better quality than
Schoeffers. The full-page woodcut on the verso of the
first leave is an almost exact copy of the Mainz edition
but with the shield at the top containing a pine-cone,
the arms of Augsburg.

Gart der Gesundheit, 1486 (Augsburg)
2201. German, 1486 [5 June].
[Gart] Der Gart der Gesundheit
Augsburg,
Johann Schönsperger, 5 June 1486.
2°: a-i 8 k-t 6 v-z 8 A-D 8 E 6 F 8 G-H 6 I 7 (17 blank);
258/.; no pagination or foliation. Two column, Gothic
letter, 42 lines, with full-page woodcut on the verso of
the first leaf (three sitting savants with two attendants
in a chemist's shop, behind them an apprentice with a
mortar), a smaller cut (a physician with a urine flask
and a women), and 394 other text woodcuts of plants
and animals.
VERY RARE. This is Schönsperger's second
printing of Der Gart, and has substantial differences
from the first, which was simply a copy of the original
Schoeffer edition. Here the format has been completely
changed by reducing the size of the illustrations to fit
onto double-columned pages. That practice not only
effected a saving in paper costs, but also resulted in a
book of a much handier size. So successful was this
adaptation that Schönsperger issued it eight times in
all between 1486 and 1502.
Ten new woodcuts were added to the book, and
one, Bone from a Deer's Heart, was redesigned, while
both the frontispiece and the heading for the Book of
Urines were altered, the latter only slightly. In the case
of the frontispiece Schönsperger reduced the number of
physicians shown to only five, and placed them inside
an apothecary's shop where an assistant was preparing
herbs, rather than in the garden setting that they had
originally inhabited.
The woodcuts of this edition possess a high degree
of artistry and some features of note. The appearance
of silver, for instance, has been cleverly counterfeited
by the use of powdered tin, and is still untarnished
after nearly 500 years. And in the image of the
gourd, Cucurbit, the typical white flower is portrayed
accurately by reserving a blank space for it against a
green leaf, a detail that demonstrates to perfection the
quality of medieval craftsmanship.

VERY RARE. Schoeffer's Der Gart inspired a
second plagiarism of the original with the issuance of
Johann Grüninger's edition at Strassburg. Although it
bears no date it is virtually certain that it was published
in 1486 and almost at the same time as the Augsburg
version by Schonsperger. Because of the date's
omission, controversy about priority of publication
between these two plagiarisms has continued to the
present. Since Schodgsperger had already issued
an exact copy of Der Gart in 1485 it is entirely
possible that his previous familiarity with the work
gave him a slight edge in beating out Griininger to the
bookstalls. As Arnold Klebs, the noted bibliographer,
has stated elsewhere, the notion of a more economical
format may very well have occurred to both printers
simultaneously out of the natural logic flowing from
their own experience. But only one observation can
be made with certainty, namely, that while both copied
Schoeffer neither copied the original cuts of each other.
Griininger added only five woodcuts of his own,
and eliminated but one physician from his adaptation
of the frontispiece. What is more, some of his chapter
headings are left blank although model illustrations
for them were already available. Despite its slightly
restricted repertoire of im- ages this edition served as
the model for Conrad Dinckmut's publication in 1487,
and later for that of Michael Furter at Bash, с 1490.
Through this latter work it influenced the pictorial style
of the famous French herbal, Arboiayre, later called he
Grant Herbier, and also its English translation, The
Grete Her ball.
Only one copy of the original edition is known
in the United States, and there is no record of any
having received contemporary coloring. Yet despite the
extreme rarity of the Griininger original its use by other
printers has made its woodcuts the most familiar and
widely distributed among the early herbals before those
of Brunfels and Fuchs in the sixteenth century.
Johann (Reinhard) Griininger. (BORN: ;
DIED: Strassburg, Alsace, France, 1529?) German printer.
Grüninger's earliest dated book is the Petrus Comestor's
Historia Scholastica, completed 28 August 1483.

VERY RARE. The only herbal to be printed in
Switzerland before 1500 and is nearly an exact reprint
of Grüninger's edition of 1485/1486, showing only slight
variations of orthography. The cuts with chapter
numbers are printed from Grüninger's woodblocks. The
full-page woodcut is reversed from Grüninger's edition
while the heraldic shield is left blank. Furter adds
for the first time floreated woodcut initials, white on
black, to most of the chapters. There exists some
connection between between this edition and the first
French herbal (Arboiayre, Besançon, Metlinger) where
the same woodcuts and initials are used.

VERY RARE. The only herbal edition printed by
Conrad Dinckmut [see note below]. The woodcuts
have a resemblance to the corresponing ones in
the Griininger's edition. Klebs/Becher believes the
Grüninger edition to be earlier than Dinckmut's edition
because the woodcuts in the later are cruder and
appear to have copied from the former and not vice
versa. Dinckmut's edition contains also five woodcuts
to chapters 37, 50, 142-144 which appear already in
Griininger's edition but are not found in Schoeffer's
herbal. Of these chapters, Schönsperger illustrated only
chapter 37, 50 and 143, but with cuts different from
Griininger's edition.
The full-page woodcut is likewise copied from the
one in Griininger's edition, reveresed and with slight
differences, the shield for instance is not blank, but
contains the arms of Ulm. Eight woodcuts (to chapters
38-40, 42, 44, 48-49, and 81) have no corresponding
ones in either the Schoeffer or Grüninger editions, and
are instead copied from Schönsperger.
Dinckmut's books are all very rare and in great
demand by collectors.
Conrad Dinckmut. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German
printer. Dinckmut seems to have begun his career as a
printer around 1482, when he produced at least four books,
but he is listed as a 'Buchdrucker' in the Ulm rate- lists of
1476, and a calendar for 1478, which is in his type and
presumed to have been printed by him. He continued to
print at Ulm through 1496. He left the city in 1499.

[Gart] Herbarius zu teütsche vnd von allerhand

Reynmann, 1508.
2°: 240 leaves (the last blank). Gothic letter,
with large woodcut on the title page (apothecary and
physician in a chemist's shop), two full-page woodcuts
(magister and four pupils; three savants in a pharmacy,
attended by two others, behind them an apprentice),
very many woodcuts of plants, animals, precious stones
in the text. Initial letter at the beginning.
VERY RARE. Only a few copies of this edition
are known. It is printed by Hanns Otmar [see note
below] and is a reprint of the preceding editions
of Schönsperger, 1496 and 1499, with only the
orthography showing variations. Otmar has used
the same page make-up and the same woodcuts and
types as Schönsperger. However, by introducing
broader columns, he reduces the contents to 239
leaves. A curious woodcut at the end shows Christ (or
Godfather?) with the holy lamb, and the convocation
of the Last Judgement. (Klebs/Becher)
Hanns Otmar. (BORN: Reutlingen, Germany, ;
DIED: Augsburg, Germany?, ) German printer.
Between 1479 and 1501, Otrnar printed many books at
Reutlingen and Tübingen, but in 1501 reestablished himself
in Augsburg, where he published his first title from this, his
third press, in 1502.

Low German Dialect editions
2223. German, 1492 [Low German Dialect].
[Gart] Gaerde der suntheit ... Lübeck, Steffen
Arndes, 1492.
2°: 324 leaves, 41 lines, with a full page woodcut
on leaf 305 (a physician holding a urine flask against
the sun, to the right a male cripple with hamper), and
519 text woodcuts of plants, animals, precious stones,
etc. Woodcut initial letters.
VERY RARE. Printed by Steffen Arndes [see note
below], this is a remarkable herbal for several reasons: it
is among the earliest and most extensive of books to be
printed in the Low German dialect, it possesses splendid
initial letters in ornamental Gothic style, and it blends
the texts from Schoeffer's Der Gart and Meydenbach's
Hortus Sanitatis.
About two-thirds of the work is drawn from Der
Gart, and the remainder from the Hortus Sanitatis. It
is a Low German version of Schoeffer's original text,
greatly augmented by translations added from the Latin
Hortus. The "van den edelen stenen" (de lapidibus),
with 146 chapters has been adapted from Meydenbach's
Hortus and 107 new chapters on vegetable and animal
subjects have been added to the main part, making a
total of 688 chapters (except the tract on uroscopy).
Thus, this is the edition with the greatest number of
plant descriptions. However, the order of the text and
the placement of the images differ considerably from
both of its sources. There are numerous duplications
of individual chapters, and frequent use of uncommon
or exotic synonyms to conceal the padding, a fairly
common practice at the time. In general its illustrations
are of a high caliber, sometimes improving upon the
originals, yet not quite equal to Schreiber's claim that
they "surpass by far all the High German editions."
370 of the text cuts are exact copies of Schoeffer's
illustrations, while other illustrations are derived from
Meydenbach's Hortus.
Klebs/Becher: "The translation of the whole work
including that of the Latin tract on precious stones,
is very exact, sometimes two Low German names are
added to the Latin names of herbs; the aspect of the
compilation is very harmonious, indeed."
Steffen Arndes. (BORN: Mayence, Germany, ;
DIED: Lübeck, Germany, 1519) German printer. Arndes was
the greatest of the Low German printers, having published
in 1494 the famous Lübeck bible. He began his printing

finally in 1487 he established himself in Lübeck. He was
succeeded by his sun, Hanns.

cut of a human skeleton, and over 450 text woodcuts of
plants, animals, etc.
VERY RARE. The only herbal edition printed by
Jan Bernts, and especially interesting for the numerous
splendid illustrations. The title woodcut and the cuts
of the plants are mostly printed from blocks used
formerly in the Grete Herball (London, 1526). This
interesting fact explains why the 1539 edition of the
Grete Herball was published without illustrations, the
old block having been secured by Brent for this Ultrecht
edition. Besides the cuts of plants, etc. that are printed
here with nice borders along the vertical sides, this
edition contains a large number of new illustrations,
executed by artists of merit.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. Printed
by Jacob Meydenbach [see note below] as his first
book, the Hortus Sanitatis, completed June 23, 1491,
provided a most glorious sunset for the incunabula
herbal, outdoing all previous works of its time in the
scope of its concept and setting the standard for the
future. It contained 1,066 chapters, each with its
own woodcut depiction, placing it among the most
extensively illustrated books of its time, and one of
the finest illustrated works of this early period. It is
a descendent of the Herbarius and Der Gart in both its
text and illustrations but it is also a wholly independent
work.
The text is divided into the following sections:
(1) Prohemium, being a translation of the preface to
Der Gart, (2) Tractatus de Herbis consisting of 530
chapters describing medicaments of plant origin, (3) a
treatise on land animals in 164 chapters, (4) a treatise
on birds in 122 chapters, (5) a treatise on fishes in 106
chapters, (6) a treatise on stones and minerals in 144
chapters, and (7) a treatise on urines. Following are a
long therapeutical index of diseases refered to in each
division of the book, and an alphabetical index to each
part. It concludes with an epilogue by the printer, in
which he claims credit for producing this book and
for the city of Mainz the credit of the invention of
printing. In essence this volume was a medieval natural
history, but one that mingled medicine with folklore,
and from its pages can be reconstructed both the state
of knowledge and the spirit of its age.
Since it was published in 1491, this was the last
large European work of natural history to predate
the discovery of the New World, thus it provides a
clear historical time capsule. In some measure the
text obscures its wealth of detail by retaining the
contractions used by scribes of the manuscript era in
its typography. Moreover, there are frequent examples
of padding by the book's compiler, who hides his
duplications under rare and unusual synonyms drawn
from Greek and Arabic sources. That practice creates
still further problems in that there are misspellings, as
well as mistranscribed manuscript material, sometimes
beyond any clarification. But despite its flaws the
Hortus Sanitatis contains a record of unique value, and
a charm that has not dimmed in over 500 years.
The 7 full page woodcuts are: (1) three sitting

savants and six attendents, (2) three savants and eight
different animals, (3) two men and several birds, (4) two
men and fishes, (5) jeweller's shop with 12 persons, (6)
apothecary's shop with nine persons, (7) two physicians
and six patients. These as well as the hundreds of text
cuts were executed in the maner of the Master of the
Ulm Aesop, another illustrated work of the period.
Jacob Meydenbach. (BORN: cl444; DIED: Mainz,
Germany?, after 1495) German printer. Jacob Meydenbach
is assumed to be the son of one Johann Meydenbach
who is recorded by Sebastian Münster to have moved
with Gutenberg from Strasbourg to Mainz and formed
a partnership with the later and Fust. Four items,
dated 1491, 1492 and 1495 are known to be from Jacob
Meydenbach's press, as well as four undated items,
including an edition of Der Totentanz (=Dance of Death).

RARE. This is the first of Prüss' [see note below]
reprints of Meydenbach's Hortus. By increasing the
number of lines in each column and going to a smaller
type Prüss reduced the size of the book from 454 to
360 leaves. It is apparently this edition, rather than
Meydenbach's original that seems to be the model for
the subsequent Latin editions and translations into
other languages. The "Tractatus de animalibus" and
"Tractatus de urinis" have divisional title-pages with
full-page woodcuts on verso; these woodcuts also appear
in Gruninger's edition of Hieronymus Brunschwig's
Cirurgia (Strasbourg, 4 July 1497). Illustrated with 3
full-page and 1,061 smaller woodcuts in text, modelled
after those in the first ed. (Mainz, J. Meydenbach, 23
June 1491).
Prüss was the publisher who really profited from
the Latin Hortus (Meydenbach never issued subsequent
editions). He produced his editions with economy of
paper by printing in a small type in 55 lines. Instead
of the seven full-page woodcuts used in Meydenbach's
edition, Prüss only includes three, the first and third
taken from Brunschwig's Cirurgia, the second (the
human skeleton) from Brunschwig's Anatomia. He
also copies the textcuts from Meydenbach, but some of
them are repeated, as if similar figures were involved.
Of the new cuts, "The most interesting of the genre
pictures (especially those to the parts of zoology
and mineralogy), for the draughtsman worked on
these more individually with regard to the costumes,
which represent those in use in Alsace at that time."
(Klebs/Becher).
There are three find full page woodcuts: (1)
magister sitting at his desk, with students, (2) human
skeleton, (3) apothecary sitting in his shop and
physician. The depicition of the skeleton appears here
for the first time in an edition of the herbals. It was used
repeatedly in almost all the subsequent herbal editions
issued in Latin, French and some German editions upto
about 1540.

Rare. Third edition of Priiss, being an almost
exact reprint of his prior editions, with only slight
variations in the text arrangement. The block of the
large woodcut (apothecary and physician) is reduced
in hight in this edition. Before the second part (the
tract on animals, etc.) appear four cuts, each with
special headings arranged in a rectangle. Before the
tract on the urine, there is a new woodcut of a patient
in bed with three attending physicians, taken from
Brunschwig's Ciurgia. Otherwise, the text figures
appear to come from the same blocks as the preceding
editions. Choulant believes this edition to be different
than that quoted by Hain 8943.
The four full page woodcuts consist of: (1/2)
apothecary sitting, and physician (repeated), (3)
human skeleton, (4) patient in bed, and three attending
physicians.

Rare. Printed in Venice, by BernardinusBenalius
and Joannes Tacuinus de Cereto de Tridino in 1511.
The first reprint of the Latin Hortus in Italy, valued
for its fine woodcuts. The model for this reprint
was according to Schreiber the Priiss edition of 1509,
from which most of the cuts were copied. These cuts,
being reveresed copies show many times considerable
variations from those in the editionsof 1497-1509. They
were modified to be more attractive to the Italian
purchaser of the book. Several of the cuts appear to
be newly added.
Two of the full page woodcuts by a Venetian
master appear here for the first time. Both are
surrounded by an ornamental border, white on a black
background. Essling says that the second of these is a
free copy of a similar image found in Kentham Fascículo
de Medicina (1493). The image of the skeleton is a
direct copy from the Priiss edition, as is indicated by
the inclusion of some German names for the bones,
eventhough this book was printed in Italy for the Italian
market. After the tract on urine, there follows a short
tract from Galen, "Liber de Facile Acquisibilibus,"
translated by Nicolaus de Regio.
The three full page woodcuts consist of: (1)
consultation of six physicians, surrounded by a fine
border, (2) human skeleton, (3) four physicians examine
urine flasks, with three attendants, surrounded by a fine
border.

VERY SCARCE. First edition of the Hortus
produced by Renatus Beck, the successor of Priiss.
Except for the skeleton cut, all the other full page
woodcuts are omitted. The text cuts are the same
as those used by Priiss, and are apparently imprinted
from Priiss' woodblocks, some retouched, some are
substituted by others.
Like the Priiss edition of 1499, after the section on
plants there follows a leaf with four woodcuts with the
headline, "Sequuntur alii tractatus" below. However,
the cut of fishes is substituted by another, very similar
one. At the start of the urine tract is a new small
woodcut showing a physician, examining the urine flask
presented him by a women. The fine title border was
cut by Urs Graf, and shows naked children and vine.

Rare. Edition not noticed by most of the
standard bibliographies. A parts title-issue reprint of
the Venice, 1511 edition, with a new title page, printed
in red and black and dated 1538, and with several other
variations in the text. The sectional title page to the
treatise on animals is printed in Roman letter, but in
the 1511 edition is printed in black letter. The large
woodcut on the urines is partly changed and reduced.
Some quires are taken from the 1511 edition, the printer
apparently still being in possession of a part of the older
1511 edition. This is shown on the last printed leaf
where a slip of paper with the 1538 colophon is pasted
over the original 1511 colophon.

Ortvs Sanitatis, 1500
initials with grotesque human faces throughout. Woodcut
printer's device on the last leaf.
VERY RARE. First French edition and the only
complete translation of the Hortus Sanitatis, printed in Paris
by Anthoine Vérard [see note below]. It is a magnificent
monument of early French typography, and one of the finest
of the Hortus editions, of which only a few examples are
known. The first volume describes the herbs, the second
beasts, fishes, and stones, and includes the tract on urine.
At the end are extensive indexes.
The fine large woodcuts represent: (1, verso of title
leaf and repeated on leaf Rlv of the second volume) an
ecclesiastical person seated in a chair, with several other
figures, one of them presenting a book, (2, leaf K5v)
an author presenting his book to King Charles VIII on
horseback with other persons engaged in flying hawks,
(3, leaf aaalv) apohtecary's shop, (4, leaf Alv) human
skeleton. The full page cuts 3 and 4 appear to be
copied from the original Grüninger cuts, although the text
illustrations appear to be derived from the second Latin
edition of the Hortus (assigned to Strassburg, Prüss, not
after 21 October 1497).
Anthoine Vérard. (BORN: ; DIED: Paris,
France, 1513) French illuminator, wood engraver, printer &
bookseller. Vérard flourished in Paris from about 1485 to
1512. Scarcely anything is known of his life, other than his
shop occupied a series of buildings in Parir-, and that he
illustrated and published a series of works. He is thought
to have illuminated a Danse Macabre printed on vellum, of
which only two copies exist.

Gothic letter, 54 lines. Title printed in red and black,

large woodcuts (1: human skeleton; 2: apothecary's shop),
over 1,000 smaller text woodcuts of plants, animals, birds,
precious stones, etc. Woodcut initials. Pritnter's device

VERY RARE. Second edition of the French translation
of the Hortus Sanitatis. It contains nearly the same
illustrations as the Vérard edition. The text cuts reappear
with few exceptions, printed from the old blocks, also the
skeleton and the apothecary's shop, borrowed by Vérnard
from Strassburg. There are also some newly added cuts
not copied from any German herbal, but probably derived
from some work on chivalry. (Klebs/Becher)

VERY SCARCE. Astonishing study of the
underground cataracts, sources, fountains, rivers,
artificial rivers, marine tides, currents, abyssals zone,
and the situation of the Paradise. The author explains
the tides by a water arrival of the abyssals zone which
it locates in the polar areas. This work is illustrated
in a baroque taste that recalls Kircher's books. It
is magnifiquement illustrated by beautiful allegorical
frontispice, 4 plates (3 folding), and 22 engravings in
the text.

HERNANDEZ, Francisco. (Born: Near Toledo,
Spain, cl514; DIED: Madrid, Spain, 1578) Spanish
physician & naturalist.
Hernandez studied medicine at the University of
Alcalß. He was a friend of Vesalius and followed his
lead in dissecting. One of the early defenders of the
lesser circulation. In Mexico City he experimented on the
medicinal properties of the local drugs. He did his best to
establish a Mexican pharmacology based on local plants.
His translation of Pliny contains extensive geographical
commentaries. During his final year in Mexico, he was
in charge of the battle against the terrible epidemic,
cocoliztle, that wiped out half of Mexico. He left an
important clinical study of the disease. Apparently began
his career as physican to the Duke of Maqueda (near
Toledo) for a brief time, then practiced several years in
Seville.
He occupied the most important medical position
in Spain at that time, physician of the hospitals of the
Monastery of Guadalupe. He was probably there in the
late 60 's. This position was virtually the antechamber to
the royal chamber. He directed the botanical garden, and
botanized in the area. Here also his anatomical studies.
When he returned to Toledo apparently about 1567, he
was in contact with the court; by about 1568 he became
physician to the Chamber of the King.
By order of Philip II, went to Mexico to study the
flora and fauna, with particular attention to medicinal
properties, 1570-77. While in Mexico he was protomedico
for the colony. The two pinnacles of Spanish medicine
were the royal chamber and the office of protomedico,
both of which he held (the latter for Mexico). Both
positions salaried. The expedition to Mexico carried a
salary of 2,000 ducats. He dedicated the translation (with
commentary) of Pliny to Philip II; this work was not
published during his life. When Hernßndez returned to
Spain, his friends at court were no longer in such influence,
and Hernßndez was rewarded for his herculean endeavors
largely by indifference. His great natural history was not
published as, of course, he had hoped. He left behind
a revealing memorial to the court and a Latin poem to
his friend Arias Montano. During his final years he was
appointed physician to the young prince who became Philip
III. Hernßndez learned the indian language and translated
some of his materials into it because he was convinced the
pharmacological information would be useful to them.

Very scarce. REWORK THIS COMMENTARY
VERY RARE. This is the first book on plants and
minerals published in the New World. The translator
was Francisco Ximenez [1666-cl722].
The Quatro Libros was the first milestone after
the publication of the Index medica-mentorum by
Barrios was a much more substantial text, based on a
manuscript of Recchi's selection. The manuscript itself,
unknown today, had been "signed" by Francisco Valles.
We now know that it belonged, at least as late as 1609,
to Barrios. In 1615 fray Francisco Xirnenez saw through
the press Quatro Libros. De la. naturaleza, y virtudes
de las plantas, y animales. The text of the Quatro
Libros is organized into four books, each subdivided into
sections. The first three books are on aromatice, trees,
plants, and fruits; herbs with a sharp taste; herbs that
taste salty or sweet; and herbs that have a bitter taste or
no taste at all; the fourth hook deals with animals and
minerals whose derivatives can be used as medicines.
Two tables list illnesses and remedies (not based on the
Index medicarnentorum) . Altogether the book contains
478 chapters translated into Spanish from Hernandez's
work, with some annotations and additions supplied by
Ximenez. The stated purpose of this book was to be a
handbook for use in places where there was no accessible
pharmacy.
Until the appearance of the Complutense
manuscript, it was not always clear where Hernandez
ended and Ximenez began, because although the editor
was deferential to the author, he would occasionally add
a note from his own experience without distinguishing
it as such. Apart from a frontispiece portrayal of
Saint Dominic, the book has no illustrations, so that
identification of plants with confus-ingly similar names
is sometimes impossible. A lay hos-pital brother who
arrived in New Spain in 1605, Ximenez worked at some
time in the Hospital de la Santa Cruz, where he was
in charge of the hospital's pharmacy. He apparently
had received no formal medical training, but he did
write a book, Memoria para la salud, now lost. His
only tangible contribution to the history of medicine is
thus his edition of Hernandez.
The Huntington Library copy of the Quatro
Libros, which Henry Harrisse bought in Paris in 1871, is
not only in exceptionally good condition for a handbook
that was meant to be used frequently: it is also
annotated. The ink has faded, but the barely legible
annotations reveal that someone wrote in the margins,
in Spanish, key words, mostly indicating parts of the
body that are mentioned in the text. Clearly, the
annotations were meant to serve as a quick finding aid
for practical purposes, and so they confirm exactly what
the book was intended to do.
We do not know the extent of the print run of
the Quatro Libros, but it was probably small-perhaps
a few hundred copies-as most Mexican imprints of its
time seem to have been. Copies of the Quatro Libros
have always been rare, especially in Europe, where, as
we shall see, only one or two copies turned up in the
seventeenth century. They were promptly put to good
use.

10 (pp. 335-344) of this work concerns minerals. It
provides a glossary and description with Aztec name
and a Latin equivalent. There are no illustrations.
The earliest published version of Hernandez's
great natural history of Mexico appeared in Spanish
translation, unillustrated, at Mexico City in 1615. The
Latin edition, with considerable additions to the text as
well as numerous illustrations, was prepared in Rome by
the Accademia dei Lincei and was first printed in 1628,
but only a few copies had been distributed when its
patron, Prince Federico Cesi, died, leaving the project
without funds. Due to the efforts of Francesco Stelluti
of the Accademia dei Lincei, who succeeded in obtaining
the patronage of the Spanish ambassador in Rome,
Don Alfonso Turiano, publication was revived and the
original sheets were reissued in 1648, 1649 and 1651.
The present copy is the last of these issues in terms
of the title-pages; however it retains the three original
dedications to Cardinal Barberini, which were cancelled
in some copies, and has in addition the dedication to
Roderico de Mendoza which was substituted for the
third of them. There are numerous 'complexities of the
bibliography and the printing of the Lyncei edition, for
such it remains ... The compiler has not seen nor heard
of any two copies which are exactly alike in arrangement
or in the presence or absence of the name Barberini in
the dedications' (Arents).
Hernandez, physician to Philip II of Spain, was
sent in 1570 to study the flora and fauna of Mexico,
where he worked until 1577. His researches remained
unpublished at his death in 1587 and his successor as
royal physician, Leonardo Recchi, was entrusted with
the task of examining anew the mass of materials left
by Hernandez and of preparing a suitable abridgement
for the press. Recchi in turn died before he was able to
publish his work, but it is his rendering of Hernandez
that was used for the 1615 Spanish translation and
which forms the basis of the Rome edition: 'with
its brilliant appended treatises, it was here at last
that Hernandez's work received the recognition that it
deserved. Though only a small part of all that he had
written, it is a monument of industry and erudition, the
more remarkable as being the first on the subject, and
even today it still holds its place as a book of the highest
authority. Hernandez was henceforward referred to as
"the third Pliny"' (Hunt).

This volume consists of a selection of English
translations from the extensive writings of Dr. Francisco
Hernandez [1515-1587]. Celebrated in his own day as
one of Spain's leading physicians and naturalists, he is
now best remembered for his monumental work on the
native plants and materia medica of central Mexico. Sent
to New Spain in 1570 by King Philip II to research
and describe the natural history of the region, to assess
the medical usefulness of the natural resources, and
to gather ethnographic materials for an anthropological
history, Hernandez was the first trained scientist to
undertake scientific work in the New World. For seven
years he gathered information throughout the Valley of
Mexico, learning Náhuatl, recording local medical customs,
studying indigenous medicines, and writing down all his
observations. The result was The Natural History of New
Spain, written in Latin, which consisted of six folio volumes
filled with descriptions of over 3,000 plants previously
unknown in Europe (along with descriptions of a much
smaller number of animals and minerals) and ten folio
volumes of paintings by Mexican artists illustrating the
plants and animals he described.

General-Inspector of all mines and manufacturing from the
Rhein to the Weichsel. As such, he moved to Clausthal
in Austria in 1809. After the restauration he became an
advisor to the new government in a number of positions.
In 1816, he was elected to the Academy of Science in Paris.

RARE. The most significant work on the mines
and the metallurgy at the beginning of the 19th century.
The first volume describes the mines and the factories
of Germany and other countries of Europe. The second,
techniques of exploitation of the mines. The third,
techniques of ore processing and metallurgy. A very
large folio Atlas supplements the work. It is illustrated
by a beautiful engraved title and 65 plates engraved by
Weiss and Baltard and 3 double-page maps. A great
number of these plates have extendible and moving
parts attached. The title page of the atlas says that it
describes the mineral richness, collection of geognostic
and industrial facts, noting the current state of art of
the mines and the factories. The work was begun in
1810 and lasted for nine years.
A superbly produced atlas which belongs to Héron
de Villefosse very scarce work 'De la richesse minérale,
considérations sur les mines, usines, saline etc. Paris
1810-1819. The first large double-page map has the
following title 'Carte des pays entre l'Elbe et le Rhin
suivant le cours du Weser, indiquant la situation des
mines, usines, salines, carrières et autres ateliers relatifs
à la richesse minérale; the second large double plate
'Carte des montagnes du Hartz (Bergmännische Karte
vom Harz)', the third large double-plate 'Carte des
montagnes métallifères qui séparent la Saxe de la
Bohème (Bergmännische Karte vom Erzgebirge)', the
other plates show plans of mines, machinery etc.

VERY RARE. Translation by CARL HARMANN of
De La Richesse Minérale (Paris, 1819). The rare text
volumes consist of translations of Héron de Villefosse's
text, together with two volumes of supplements published
1839-40. According to the register, only 117 copies of this
translation were ordered in advance. The exceptional atlas
illustrates the main volumes and provides extraoridnary
and faithful plates. These renderings show mining
insturments, profiles of silver mines, mills, crushers, various
steam engines, mercury distilling furnaces, etc. With the
supplements 20 additional plates were prepared which are
almost always missing.

Hessel
HESSEL, Johann Freidrich Christian. (Born:
Nuremburg, Germany, 27 April 1796; DIED: Marburg,
Germany, 3 June 1872) German physician, crystallog-
rapher & mineralogist.
Hessel attended the industrial school in Nuremburg,
before studying science and medicine at Erlangen and
Würzburg. He received his M.D. in 1817. At the University
of Munich, he continued his studies and came into contact
with K.C. VON Leonhard who convinced Hessel to become
his assistant when the former took a position at the
University of Heidelberg. There, Hessel developed his
mineralogical skills, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1821. Then
he was called to Marburg where he accepted a position as
associate professor of mineralogy and mining technology.
In 1825, he was appointed a full professor, a position he
kept until his death. Over his career he published over 40
books and papers on a wide range of subjects, but it was
not until many years after his death that the importance
of the Kristallometrie [described below] was recognized.

VERY RARE. This is the first separate publication
of Hessel's proof of the existence of only thirty-
two symmetry crystal classes, by establishing the
fact that only two-, three-, four- and sixfold axes
can occur. Hessel obtained his results from an
exhaustive physical analysis of the possible types of
symmetry that any geometrical form might possess.
It was first published as an article titled "Krystall"
in Gehler's physikalisches Wörterbuch (Leipzig, 1830).
Its importance was immediately recognized by Gehler
[see note below], who arranged its publication as
a separate work, and added an appendix on the
formation of crystals. Unfortunately, this attention
did not gain Hessel's theorem the recognition of his
contemporaries, and the discovery of this fundamental
principle of crystal symmetry is generally attributed
to the elegant mathematical derivation published by
Auguste Bravais in the mid-1850's, even though
the forgotten work of MORITZ LUDWIG F RANKEHEIM
predates both Hessel and Bravais. I 1 ! This is Hessel's
most important scientific work and priority over
Bravais was overlooked until Leonhard SOHNCKE drew
attention to its importance in 1891. [-1

HEULAND, John Henry. (Born: 1778; Died:
Hastings, Sussex, England, 16 November 1856) English
mineral collector & dealer.
Heuland was the nephew of the mineral dealer Jacob
Forster [see note under Rome de l'Isle], whose collection
he inherited. Subsequently the collection was sold to
Charles Hampden Turner, that was later incorporated into
Henry Ludlam's, now in the Museum of Practical Geology,
London. Heuland was elected to the Geological Society of

Henry Heuland's influence on mineral collecting in
19th century England was enormous. His ability
to bring to market a constant flow of fine mineral
specimens from all parts of the world prompted
every major English collector of the time to be
a regular visitor to his shop. Probably beginning
in 1808, Heuland held the first of a long series of
mineral specimen auction sales that would extend
to the end of his career. All but one of the London
sales was held in the "Great Rooms" of the auction
company in King Street, Covent Garden founded
around 1759 by the bookseller Samuel Paterson.
These auctions would leave as a legacy a run of very
rare sale catalogs that described the specimens that
were for sale. A listing of the known sales is given
below.

HIÄRNE (Hjärne), Urban. (Born: Skworitz,
Ingermanland, Sweden, 20 December 1641; DIED:
Stockholm, Sweden, 22 March 1724) Swedish physician
& polymath.
At the age of five, Hiärne began his studies with
private tutors. He then attended in Nyen what was called
a trivial school where he studied logic, rhetoric, poetry,
grammar, Swedish, German, Latin, Greek, Russian and
music. In 1657 he decided to study at Uppsala, and in 1658
moved to Stockholm where he was employed as a teacher.
At this time, Hiärne decided to study medicine at Uppsala.
To support his University education, he painted portraits,
and wrote numerous poems and plays, some of which were
performed. He taught himself chemistry. He completed his
studies at Uppsala before 1666. He then became personal
physician to the governor-general of Livland, which enabled
him to study abroad in Holland, England and France. He
eventually took his degree in medicine from Angers in
1670. Three years of study in Paris provided him with a
good foundation in analytical and experimental chemistry.
Hiärne was a dedicated Paracelsian, and his work in
chemistry was directed to supporting Paracelsianism. In
1674, he settled in Stockholm, where he opened a medical
practice. For a long time he was Sweden's leading authority

VERY RARE. An important contribution to
mineralogy, which focused the activities of other
Swedish researchers to the chemical anaylsis of minerals
and mineral waters. Many subsequent naturalists
considered this work to be one of the key publications
setting mineralogy on a chemical foundation. The
monograph describes the results of various analyses on
stones and mineral waters that Hjärne performed. For
example, he notes that carbon dioxide evolves from
some minerals after treatment with acid. Underlying
the descriptions is a classification showing elements
of a traditional type. The author distinguishes seven
divisions: water, earths, stones, metals, semi- metals,
salts and sulphurs. Other subdivisions are noted under
some of these categories including common stones,
precious stones, figured stones, useful stones, and stones
derived from animals.
Contents of the three "editions" above are the
same, allthough with small differences in spellings here
and there and to the layout due to the différencies in
page format. There is a short introduction signed Urban
Hiärne (4 p. in the 8°, 3 p. in the 4° and 2 p. in the
folio). "En kort anledning..." is a questionaire in 13
short chapters, each inquiring into the local existence of
different parts of the Regnum Minerale such as water,
landscape, soils, rocks, common stones, useful stones,
gems etc. sent out to the Swedish provinces by Hiärne.
Kort Memorial is an abridged reminder of the previous
since, as it states, "En kort anledning" ... hasn't met
too much response ... especially not from the clergy.
The intention was to publish the answers received
with comments in parts corresponding to each of the
13 questions/chapters. Two parts (Hiärne used the
Swedish word flockar - flocks) of these were published,
Den Korta Anledningen (1702) and Den Beswara.de och
Förklarade Anledningens (1706), the former treating
water and the latter about the earth and landscapes
in general.
This work was also reprinted in the first
supplement to FRANZ Er.NST BrÜCKMANN's Magnalia
Dei in Locis Subterraneis ( Wolff enbüttel, 1734) [which

HILL, John. (BORN: Peterborough, England, cl707;
DIED: London, England, 21 November 1775) English
apthecary & naturalist.
Hill calling himself "Sir John" on account of his
knighthood in the Swedish order of Vasa flourished as
an apothecary and quack doctor in James Street, Covent
Garden. He conducted the British Magazine from 1746 to
1750 and contributed articles to various other periodicals.
He vigorously attacked the Royal Society, which steadfastly
ignored Hill's scientific contributions. He was a prolific
author of compilations and translations dealing with
medicine, botany, horticulture and natural history. His
most celebrated contribution was The Vegetable System
(London, 1759-75).

VERY SCARCE. This is the first volume of Hill's
three volume treatise, A General Natural History, which
described nature's three realms, i.e., mineral, plant and
animal. In the present work, A History of Fossils,
minerals are divided into series, classes, orders, genra
and the analog of species. They are then described
according to their behavior in fire and acid, their
cleavage or lack thereof, their surface texture, and
their appearance under the microscope. An interesting
feature of the book arises from the odd naming of the
various species. Hill invented a unique nomenclature
that took a mineral's distinguishing properties, and
recast them into their Greek equivilents to form
descriptive polysyllabic names, which is very useful if
one is conversent in Greek. Unfortunately, even in Hill's
time, the lay public and probably most of the scientific
community were ignorant of the language, and therefore
of the author's innovation. As a consequence, the
valuable contributions this work made to microscopic
mineral examination and to descriptive mineralogy
in general had less impact on the science then they
deserved.
Occasionally, a very rare copy of Hill's History
of Fossils is found with the plates hand— colored. A
note on the back of volume three's title page states,
"There are a small number printed for the curious on
Royal Paper; and the cuts of these are colored under the
immediate inspection of the author." Exercise caution,
however, when examining such copies because the plates
may not have been originally colored. Sometimes the
"faked" volumes can be recognized due to the whimsical
colorings of the figures, but normally comparision with
an authenticated copy is necessary.

VERY SCARCE. One of the rarer of the author's
many publications in which minerals and physical
properties such as hardness, color, weight, surface
texture and uses are arranged in a series of tables.
The large folding diagram outlines the intricate system
employed to distribute the minerals. The purpose was
to lay down an arrangement of minerals and fossils
founded upon their obvious characteristics, such as
form, hardness, weight, surface, color, localities, use,
without need of chemical experiments. Hill proposed
using the outward qualities of a mineral exclusively,
and these were determined by sight, smell, taste and
touch. The text makes heavy use of tables to organize
the characteristics of each species, and it is clear that
Hill did not require all features to be defined for a
given mineral. For example, sulfur is said to have a
distinct odor. For each species, the author has provided
synonyms to Wallerius, Bomare, Linneaus and his
earlier History of Fossils (London, 1748). In this work,
Hill anticipated Werner in the use of physical characters
to distinguish between mineral species; however, his
text is so convoluted and irregular that it is difficult
to derive a true picture of the system Hill is proposing.

October 1876; DIED: after 1962) English mathematician
& crystallographer.
From 1895 to '98, Hilton studied at Oxford,
eventually receiving his D.Sc in 1913. In 1902, he became
assistant lecturer in mathematics at the University of
Banger, in North Wales. In 1907, he accepted a position
as assistant professor of mathematics at Bedford College,
London. Finally, in 1912, Hilton became professor of math
at the University of London where he remained the rest of
his career.

SCARCE. This work collects together the results
of various mathematical theories of crystallography,
which had not previously been published in English.
Through a careful examination of their properties,
Hilton was able, with minor adjustments, to derive
in a simple manner the 32 point groups and the 230
space groups. However, no practical applications of the
results obtained are included. Hilton provides a full
account of the geometrical theory of crystal structure
as outlined by Bravais, Jordan, Sohncke, Fedorov,
Schoenflies and Barlow.

HINTZE, Carl Adolf Ferdinand. (Born: Breslau,
Germany, 17 August 1851; DIED: Breslau, Germany,
28 December 1916) German mineralogist.
Hintze attended the schools of Breslau before entering
the city's university. In 1872 he became assistant to
the crystallographer P. Groth, then at the University of
Strasbourg. In the fall of 1880, Hintze took a position as
scientific consultant to the mineral dealing establishment
of F.L.R. Krantz in Bonn. In 1884, he also accepted a
position as instructor of mineralogy and crystallography
at the University of Bonn. In 1886, he accepted a
similar post at his alma mater, the University of Breslau.
There in 1892, after the death of F. Roemer, Hintze
was appointed professor ordinary and director of the
Mineralogische Instituts. He remained in that position the
remainder of his life.

VERY SCARCE. One of the great, monumental
classics of mineralogical literature. In the first
American notice of this work, Edward S. Dana
prophetically wrote, "The publication of the first part
of a new Descriptive Mineralogy which promises to
be, when completed, the most exhaustive work ever
written, is an event of no small importance to those
interested in the science" [See: American Journal of
Science, 38 (1889), 251].
No other mineralogical work has ever achieved the
encyclopedic nature of Hintze's masterpiece. Individual
descriptions of minerals give first the crystallographic
characters, axial ratios, lists of forms, calculated
angles. The physical characters and optical properties
are then elaborated upon with full references to
the original papers. The mineral is then given an
exhaustive historical review with careful attention to
its name, composition and earlier researchers. A general
statement on the species occurrence follows, with a very
detailed discussion of all important localités, an account
of the crystals forms from each and references to the
authors who have treated them. The figures of crystals
are scattered through this part of the text as referred to.
An account of the artifical mineral and an exhaustive
list of previous analyses, including alteration products,
closes the species descriptions. Seemingly, nothing is
left to conjecture as there appears to be little attempt
at condensing the descriptions, and this adds to the
authority of the work, with many individual mineral
descriptions running several pages.
The Handbuch der Mineralogie was published
as a sequence of parts. The first section of volume
two was the first to appear in 1889 with the volume
finally being completed in 1897; this part describing
the silicates and titanites was completely the work of
Hintze. Thereafter, the sections for volume one began
to make their appearance. After Hintze's death in
1916, Gottlob Linck took over the editing of volume
one, parts 3 and 4, which was eventually completed
in 1933. Described below are several Ergänzungsband
which were published in an effort to keep this massive
work current.
Gottlob Eduard Linck. (BORN: Oetisheim,
Württemburg, Germany, 20 February 1858; DIED: Jena,
Germany?, 1947) German crystallographer. From 1879
to 1883, Linck studied in Stuttgart, Strasbourg, and
Tübingen. In 1883, he received his Ph.D. from the
University of Strasbourg. In Strasbourg, he became
assistant for mineralogy (1885-94), professor extraordinary
(1894) and from 1894, professor ordinary in mineralogy and

VERY SCARCE. To insure that Hintze's Handbuch
der Mineralogie would remain current, Gottlob Linck
periodically published supplemental volumes describing
all the new minerals and correcting mistakes of the
former volumes. These descriptions were not nearly as
comprehensive as Hintze's originals, although they did
follow the same format. In this supplement nearly 800
species are arranged alphabetically.

and a span of 16 years, the publisher's enlisted K.F.
Chudoba [see note below] to write another supplement to
Hintze's Handbuch der Mineralogie. The format has been

Karl Franz Johann Chudoba. (BORN: Writzow,
Czechoslovakia, 10 September 1898; DIED: Bonn, Germany,
14 March 1976) Czech mineralogist & crystallographer.
Chudoba was an assistant in the Museum of Natural
History at the University of Vienna, before becoming
a professor of mineralogy at the University of Freiberg-
am-Breisgau (1926-8). Subsequently, he was appointed
professor of mineralogy at the University of Bonn (1928-
68). Chudoba applied himself principally to the study of
German minerals, but also wrote a papers on the minerals
of Madagascar, Brazil and Southwest Africa.

HlSINGER, Wilhelm. (Born: Skinnskatteberg,
Västmanland, Sweden, 22 December 1766; DIED:
Skinnskatteberg, Västmanland, Sweden, 28 June
1852) Swedish mineralogist, chemist, geologist &
palaeontologist.
Hisinger was a wealthy landowner and proprietor of
a foundry, and for amusement, he worked privately as
a scientist. In 1803, together with J.J. Berzelius he is
credited with the discovery of the element cerium. Hisinger
researched the electrolysis of salts and found the amount
of decomposition proportional to affinity of compound
components and to surface contact with the conductor.
The extensive mineralogical and geological collections he
accumulated during his lifetime were bequeathed to the
Swedish Natural History Museum in Stockholm.

SCARCE. An early and important work on the
geology of Sweden. Zittel writes that "this work
contains a historical review of all the facts known of
Swedish rocks up to that date, and applied Werner's
systematic arrangement." After a general introduction,
with descriptions of the most common rock-types and their
geographical distribution, the text starts with separate
chapters each covering a province of Sweden (the north
is not treated). The general petrography is followed
by short descriptions of the mines known to the region
and their minerals. Provinces covered are Dalarne,
Vestmanland, Upland, Södermanland, Nerike, Vermeland,
Dahlsland,Vestergöthland, Ostergöthland, Småland, Skåne
and Gottland. The plates show a cross-section and various
maps of the Swedish country. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

sachusetts, U.S.A., 23 May 1793; DIED: Amherst, Mas-
sachusetts, U.S.A., 27 February 1864) American geolo-
gist.
Hitchcock was educated as a clergyman, and from
1824 to 1845 he was professor of natural history and
chemistry at Amherst College, becoming president of
the institution from 1845 to 1855. He then took an
appointment as professor of geology from 1855 to 1864. At
various times he was the State Geologist of Massachusetts
and Vermont. He is best remembered for his work on glacial
drift and the fossil footprints of the Connecticut Valley.

SCARCE. This is the first report prepared by
Hitchcok of the geology, mineralogy, botany and
zoology of Massachusetts. The text is divided into four
parts with the (I) Economical Geology taking pages
1-72, followed by (II) Topographical Geology (pp. 73-
110), (III) Scientific Geology (pp. 111-542) and (IV)
Catalogues of the Animals and Plants on pages 543-652.
Throughout the text there are numerous references to
the minerals and mineral deposits found with in the
state. It was followed by several other publications on
the subject [which see entries below].
The "Atlas of Plates" refereed to on the title page
almost never accompanies the text volume. It appears
to have consisted of a few pages of text together with
a large 240 x 300 mm. folding colored(?) map of the
state of Massachusetts.

of mineralogy is covered in the section (pages 288-
356). It describes the precious stones known to the
ancients, the first theories of fossils, history of research
on igneous rocks, the story of topographical mineralogy,
meteorites, and discoveries in crystallography. The final
section details the evolution of geology (pages 357-408).
It gives the story by looking at the geological theories
of Burnet, Whiston, Woodward, Steno, Leibnitz, and
Buffon. Other sections describe volcanism, neptunism,
Werner's theories, theory of metamorphism, and the
rise of modern paleontology.

VERY SCARCE. This work is one of the
greatest encyclopedias of Werner's mineral theories ever
published. It was the only authorized publication of
Werner's mineral system. It was begun by Hoffmann
who died after the first two volumes were published,
and continued on by the young August Breithaupt,
who completed the third and fourth volumes. In
this monumental treatise, the Wernerian doctrine of
mineralogy is propogated in its fullest treatment. The
authors accept all of Werner's theories concerning
mineral formation and classification, and includes
numerous illustrative examples. The text is extremely
generous in its treatment of the subject, sometimes
devoting long detailed sections to minute points.
Werner did not publish much on his theories but his
students and followers insured that his ideas would
reach a larger audience by authoring their own works
following his guidelines.
The first volume provides a short history
of mineralogy, definitions, descriptions of physical
properties, including color, optics, streak, hardness,
specific weight, transparency, luster, and crystal
form, chemical qualities, the use of the blow-pipe,
nomenclature, and a synopsis of the classification
system. Later volumes contain essentially a descriptive
mineralogy. Under each species, all that was known is
included in the descriptions.

HOFFMANN, Friedrich. (BORN: Halle, Germany, 19
February 1660; DIED: Halle, Germany, 12 November
1742) German physician.
Hoffmann was the son of Friedrich Hoffmann [1626-
1675], a well-known municipal physician of Halle. In 1675,
he lost both his parents and a sister within a few days. In
his youth, he was educated at home, including instruction
in anatomy and pharmacology. From 1678 to 1680, he
studied medicine at the University of Jena, receiving his
M.D. in 1681. Afterward, Hoffmann embarked on an
extended tour of Belgium, Holland, and England, studying
medical methods. In 1681, he accepted a position at the
University of Jena, but soon left due to jealousy from the
senior faculty. For the next decade he successfully practiced
his craft in Minden and Halberstadt. In 1693, Hoffmann
was named the first professor of medicine at the University
of Halle and charged with organizing the medical school.
Except for a couple of tenures as court physician in Berlin,
he remained in Halle.

The text provides a description of the types of fossils
and minerals found in the vicinity of Halle. It is divided
into six chapters and discusses mineral springs, earths
useful to medicine and manufacture, figured stones,
fossils, salts, and metals and minerals. References are
given through out to the major mineralogical works of
the time.
Johann Jacob Lerch (Lerche). (BORN: Potsdam, ??,
27 December 1703; DIED: St. Peterburg, Russia, 23 March
1780) German physician. Lerch emmigrated to Russia in
1731, becoming from 1732 to 1736 a field doctor in the
Russian army stationed in Persia. Between 1745 and 1748,
he made two extensive trips throughout the region. He
participated in a war between Russia and Turkey in 1770,
before retiring to St. Petersburg.

VERY SCARCE. This is the third edition of the
collected works of Hoffmann and second edition of all
the supplements to the original Opera Omnia (1740-
53). Hoffmann was a prolific writer, covering a wide
scope of contemporary medicine. Included here is his
most important medical contribution, the Medicinae
Rationalis Systematicse, as well as works on pediatrics,
physiology, pathology, medical ethics and personal
hygiene. Hoffmann was the first to provide descriptions
of appendicitis, chlorosis, rubella and convulsive asthma
with dropsy.
The son of a prominent German physician,
Hoffmann (1660-1742) studied at Jena, and later
worked with Robert Boyle in England before returning
to teach medicine at Halle. He was a prominent
practitioner and for a while served as physician to
Frederick I of Prussia. Hoffmann is best known as the
designer of the mechanico-dynamic system, in which
health is conceived of as normal movement and disease
as disturbed movement.

HOLLANDUS, Johan Isaac. Dutch alchemist.
Thought to be contemporary with Basilius Valenti-
nus, Hollandus and his son are probably inventions, and
never actually lived. They are said to be the first alchemists
of Holland, and their techniques praised by Paracelsus,
Boyle, and Kunckel. They are said to have lived in the
fifteenth century because they do not cite any later au-
thority, but no evidence has ever been found as to their
true identity.

VERY SCARCE. A classic among the alchemical
texts, although the authorship is doubtful. It is
written in a canting alchemical and almost unreadable.
(Partington) "Of the person or persons called Hollandus
very little is known. By those who consider
thern two persons, Isaac is regarded as the father
and John Isaac as the son... The dates assigned to
the Hollands are very various. They have been
put in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth
centuries... Boerhaave said: 'they describe all the
operations to the most minute circumstances..., write
excellently of distillation, fermentation, putrefaction,
and their effects, and seem to have understood at least
as much of these matters as any of the moderns'." They
describe very skillful operations in enameling and in
imitating precious stones.
The first edition of any work by the mysterious
Johannes Isaac Hollandus, a Latin translation of a
German manuscript of his treatises on mineralogy,
alchemy and the philosopher's stone, and especially
on the use of metal oxides to colour stones and
crystals to make fake gems and precious stones. The
charming little woodcuts show distilling and other
equipment. The preliminaries include verses by the
Zeeland notables Petrus Hondius, Enoch Sterthemius,
and Cornelis Herls (d. 1625), and a 12-page dedication
to Count Everard of Solms. The first and most
important edition by the mysterious Hollandus, and a
lovely little book with instructions for making fake gems
and precious stones.

VERY RARE. Very rare second edition of collection
of alchemical works in German by mysterious Johannes
Isaac Hollandus. There are many uncertainties about
his person. Firstly, it is unclear whether there is one
Hollandus, Johannes lsaaci, or two persons, Johannes and
Isaac. The date has long been a matter of controversy, but
most scholars now maintain the latter half of the sixteenth
or the beginning seventeenth century. The confusion was
caused by the great similarity to Paracelsan writings, who
was accused by some of having plagiarized Hollandus.
It has now been established that Hollandus wrote after
Paracelsus but wanted to pretend that he antedated his
writings. He therefore omitted any mention of sixteenth
century authorities, because Paracelsus died in 1541.
According to Partington, p. 207, Hollandus writes
in a "canting alchemical style," "some of the recipes
are clearly described," and furthermore that Hollandus
believed that "each metal contains in its interior the

principle of the tincture of gold and silver and when the
elixir is projected on the metal this principle comes to the

According to Ferguson, the present work was first
published in Frankfurt in 1667, in an edition of 384 pages.
This is the greatly enlarged (752 pages), second edition.

HOOKE, Robert.
Hooke's father John Hooke was the local vicar. It
was the ambition of his parents that Robert should receive
an education befitting him for Holy Orders, but he had
a delicate constitution and although sprightly and quick-
witted was unable to study on account of frequent and
severe headaches.
After his father's death in October 1648, Robert
Hooke went to Westminster School and soon displayed an
outstanding ability in mathematics. In 1653 he entered
Oxford University where his knowledge of mechanics and
inventive skill was noticed by Robert Boyle who engaged
Hooke as his assistant. Through Boyle's influence Hooke

was appointed Curator to the Royal Society on I th
November I66z and on 3rd June the following year was
elected a Fellow.
The genius of Hooke was justly rewarded by the
Royal Society when they perpetuated his appointment as
Curator with a good salary, providing him with apartments
in Gresharn College, Bishops- gate Street, where he resided
for the rest of his life.
Elected Professor of Geometry at the College on
zoth March 1665 Hooke concentrated on the invention of
mechanical devices, the development of the microscope and
the study of astronomy. From sth October 1677 to 30th
November I68z he acted as Secretary to the Royal Society
in addition to his other duties and edited seven numbers
of the Philosophical Collections, substituted by him for
the Society's Transactions. In spite of poor health since
childhood Hooke was a prodigious inventor and his mind
was so prolific that there was scarcely a discovery made
which he did not claim to have conceived himself.
Hooke was involved in a Chancery suit concerning
his salary in 1696 and although he won the case the ordeal
brought about a further deterioration of his health. During
the last year of his life blindness and swelling of the legs
rendered him helpless and he died at Gresham College on
3rd March 1703 at the age of sixty-seven. He was buried
in the local church of St. Helen.

Hooke was much more than a naturalist and
never happier than when studying details of animal
and vegetable structure under the microscope. In this
work he describes and theorises in a most accurate
and informative fashion upon the scale of an eel, the
underside of a nettle leaf, the sting of a bee and
the common moulds. He was no specialist like his
successors who considered themselves experts in the
use of the microscope; although they may have probed

deeper their work was confined to narrower limits.
The lepidoptera are represented by a single species,
the White Plume Moth Alucila pentadactyla L. or, as
Hooke calls it, 'The White Feather-winged Moth' which
he says is sometimes found on nettles.
The preface to the second edition contains the
interesting information that the first edition of the
Micrographia has 'grown extremely scarce and the price
thereof greatly raised'. The fact is also mentioned that
the original copperplate blocks were used for illustrating
the second edition, with the exception of seven which
had been lost and replaced by exact copies.
The first edition was reproduced in facsimile
by Robert Günther in 1938 as part of a larger
work. Robert William Theodore Günther was born at
Sur biton, Surrey, on z3rd August 869. After studying
zoology at London and Oxford Universities he was
appointed Lecturer at Magdalen College, Oxford, in
1897. Günther published a number of works dealing
with the history of science and died March 1940.

subsequently confined his attention to botany. In the
summer of 1809 he made his first botanical expedition
to Iceland, but the natural history specimens which he
collected, together with his notes and drawings, were
lost on the homeward voyage through the burning of
the ship, and the young botanist himself was lucky to
escape with his life. His good memory, however, allowed
Hooker to publish an account of the island, and of its
inhabitants and flora as Journal of a Tour in Iceland,
which was privately circulated in 1811, and reprinted in
an expanded edition in 1813.

Zurich was one of the great educational institutions
of Europe, and it is perhaps through the influence of
it famous professor, JOHANN JACOB SCHEUCHZER, that
Hottinger was inspired to write this crystallography.
In it, he gives a history and etymology of the term
"crystal," classifies specimens according to external
form, makes observationson crystal habit and concludes
that crystals grew from solution. References are given
throughout the text to contemporary literature.

HOUTTUYN, Martinus. (Born: Hoorn, The
Netherlands, 1720; DIED: 1798) Dutch physician.
Born the son of Dr. Willem Houttuyn, Martinus
studied medicine in Leyden, where he graduated in 1749.
After graduation he went to Amsterdam, where he opened
a medical practice. He probably was related to the
publishing house of Houttuyn in Amsterdam, and through
this connection was introduced to Jan Christiaan Sepp
[1739-1811]. Their association caused Houttuyn to produce
several important translations.

VERY SCARCE. The five volumes described form
the complete third and concluding section of the
author's well known comprehensive description of the
three natural kingdoms. Although the name of Linnaeus
is invoked in the title, this voluminous publication is, as
Soulsby (1933) writes, "only slightly based upon on the
Systema Naturae under which it is so often cited, but
influenced many similar works in other countries."
As a young man, Houttuyn decided to write
an elaborate, well illustrated explanation of Linneeus'
natural history method. Realizing that this project
would take many years, he took the precaution of
building up a large collection of natural history objects.
From this collection, specimens were choosen for
illustration to support various points discussed within
the body of the work. Publication began in 1761 and
was completed 37 tomes and over 22,000 pages later in
1785. The complete work consists of three main parts,
namely: zoology (18 vols., 143 plates), botany (14 vols.,
105 plates) and mineralogy (5 vols., 48 plates). Each
volume is well illustrated with copper plate engravings,
and as was typical of the time, either plain or colored
versions could be purchased from the publisher.
Mineralogy is covered in what Houttuyn called
volume 3, parts 1—5, tomes 33 to 37. The plates
are beautifully hand— colored examples of fossils, corals,
marbles, stalachtites, gypsum, calcite, agates, jaspers,
precious stones, and various metallic ores. It
obstensibly is based upon the tenth edition of Linneaus'
Systema Naturas; however, it is more a compilation than
a translation.

scribing the regions of Nova Scotia in Canada. The text
begins with a list of publications covering various geo-
logical aspects of the area. Then in fifteen chapters the
materials of economic mineralogy are covered, i.e. coal,
gold, silver, copper, iron and manganese ores, gypsum,
limeston, marble, building material, ornamental stones,
and mineral waters. Chapter 14 contains a Catalogue
of Localities of Minerals throughout the region.

SCARCE. A comprehensive dictionary in
English on the subjects of geology and mineralogy.
Included are references to terms in the fields of
botany, chemistry, comparative anatomy, conchology,
entomology, palaeontology and zoology as they are
connected to geology. In the preface, Humble writes
that he undertook the compilation of this work
because he failed to locate a dictionary containing such
technological terms as are peculiar to this branch of
science. Since the beginning of the eighteenth century,
there had been a great increase in the knowledge of
geology, especially in Britain, and these advances had
ballooned the nomenclature of the science. Humble's
book helped the reading public discover the meaning of
these terms. The text is arranged alphabetically, and
references are provided for some entries.

DIED: Berlin, Germany, 6 May 1859) German explorer
& scientist.
Humboldt travelled in Central and South America
(1799-1804) and wrote extensively on natural history,
meteorology, and physical geography. He proved that the
Amazon and Orinoco river systems are connected, and
ascended to 5,877 m (19,280 ft) in the Andes, the highest
ascent ever made at that time, researching the relation of

Paris writing up his results, returning later to Berlin, where
he served at the Prussian court. He wrote a popular work in
several volumes, Kosmos (1845-62), describing the structure
of the Universe as it was then known.

RARE. Published anonymously, with only the
initials, "H-t" , at the end of the introduction to

and in which he attacks the theories of volcanism but

without fully supporting neptunism. During vacations,
Humboldt made several geological excursions to the
Harz Mountains and the Rhine and the present book
is the result of his observations on basalt. This
study foreshadowed Humboldt's life-long interest and
investigations of volcanoes and earthquakes which were
his most important contributions to geology. Humboldt
dedicated the work to Georg Forster, who was the
author's guiding influence and role model. Interestingly,
the library of the Bergakademie in Freiberg possesses
a presentation copy of the book dated 25 July 1790
which had been sent by the author to Werner, who later
became Humbolt's most influential teacher.
The text is divided into two major sections. The
first reviews the commentary on basalt by old and
contemporary authors, with an introductory essay (pp.
11-37). Several subsections follow. The first describes
the Syenite of the ancients (pp. 38-40). Another
examines the views of Pliny and Strabo on basalt (pp.
41-67), while the file subsection describes the rocks and
geology of the ancients (pp. 68-74). The second portion
of the book provides Humboldt's observations on the
basalt outcrops located along the Rhein river (pp. 77-
126).

VERY RARE. The famous Voyage aux Régions
Equinoctiales du Nouveau Continent, Fait en 1799-
1804 is an account of Humboldt and Aimé Jacques
Bonpland 1773-1858] scientific survey of Central and
South America. It is not clear if any portion of this
huge work contains any mineralogy; however, the 6th
part is a famous and rare, richly illustrated botanical
work. This massive work was published in 30 volumes
over 25 years, describing the natural history, economy,
ethnography and archaeology of Cuba and Central
and South America. Considered one of the greatest
publications in the history of exploration it is today still
an important primary source for its contributions to
topography, geography, zoology, botany, ethnography
and geology. It describes three expeditions to different
regions, each with its own scientific objectives:
1. The exploration of the Orinoco River, 16 July
1799 to 24 November 1800, covering 2000 square miles
of uncharted and mostly unexplored jungle.
2. Travels to Cuba and through Peru, Colombia
and Equador, from 24 November 1800 to 5 December
1802.
3. Researches in Mexico, from 5 December 1802
to May 1804.
The voyages led to many discoveries and scientific
by-products, and the participants catalogued and drew
8000 plants, 4000 not previously described. They
established the cause of periodic meteor showers, and
gave a scientific basis to the geography of the territories
visited. The many hand-colored illustrations of the
original are today highly sought after.

VERY SCARCE. Humboldt's favorite book,
published in 1808 this contains the author's opinions of
nature. It expresses strongly and definitively the proof
that experience of nature and scientific realization do
not have to be a contradiction. Its overview reaches
from the steps of and deserts of the waterfall at Orinoco
up to the nocturnal animal life in the jungle. Today, the
book is a treasure for geographers, botanists, historians,
écologiste, meteorologists and biologists and an early,
important work in pure science.
Many reissues, new editions and translations of this
book appeared.

English conchologist, collector & mineral dealer.
Chief 'commerical naturalist' in Britain for many
years. He was the brother-in-law of the mineral dealer
JACOB FORSTER. He inherited the immense conchological
and mineralogical collections accumulated by his father.
Part of this accumulation was sold at auction during April
and May 1779 (see: Museum Humfredianum) , while another
portion was discovered by G.B. Sowerby: J. De Carle
Sowerby in Mineral Conchology, 6 (1826), p. 3 wrote, "the
collection purchased by my brother from the late Mr G.
Humphries" and (p. 5) "which has been for many years
unopened when my brother purchased it and disclosed its
riches."

alogist, petrologist & chemist.
Hunt lost his father at the age of twelve, and was
obliged to earn his own livelihood. In the course of two
years he found employment in a printing office, in an
apothecary's shop, in a bookstore and as a clerk. He
became interested in natural science, and especially in
chemical and medical studies and entered Yale. In 1845,
Hunt was elected a member of the Association of American
Geologists and Naturalists at Yale— a body which in 1849
became the American Association for the Advancement of
Science. At Yale, he became assistant to Benjamin Silliman
[1779-1864]. In 1846, he was appointed chemist to the
Geological Survey of Vermont. Hunt was elected F.R.S.
in 1859 and was an original member of the Royal Society
of Canada.

VERY SCARCE. Hunt came to mineralogy from a
chemical background and examined the subject from
that stand point. In his Minerai Physiology and
Physiography, his researches into the chemical and
mineral composition of rocks extended the theoretical
framework for chemical geology and how it worked with
in the earth.
Chapters: I. Nature in thought and language. II. The
order of the natural sciences. III. Chemical and geological
relations of the atmosphere. IV. Celestial chemistry from
the time of Newton. V. The origin of crystalline rocks. VI.
The genetic history of crystalline rocks. VII. The decay of
crystalline rocks. VIII. A natural system of mineralogy. IX.
History of Pre-Cambrian rocks. X. The geological history
of serpentines, with studies of Pre-Cambrian rocks. XI.
The taconic question in geology. The book is a through
study if crystalline and metamorphic Rocks. It is as well a
study of mineralogy and Precambrian Stratigraphy.

VERY SCARCE. A unique book in many
respects and of considerable interest for the "natural
history" method the author adopts for mineralogical
classification. Remarkably, it advances material that
is seldom found in other texts, and, overall, this
book should be viewed as a highly interesting and
instructive series of essays that give Hunt's ideas on
various aspects of mineralogy. An excellent review of
other important mineralogical systems of classification
is included as are discussions on chemistry, physical
properties, formation of minerals, theory of solution,
crystallization, chemistry of species, nomenclature, etc.
The text concludes with a good index.

VERY SCARCE. An important work in petrology,
this is an introduction to the rock forming minerals.
The text is divided into two parts: 1. Methods of
examination and 2. Tables for the determination of
minerals. The work gives more completely than had
been before attempted in a single volue a description
of the techniques used in determining the mineralogical
study of rocks, using optical, chemical and mechanical
operations. A second part gives a series of tables for
the determination of the rock forming minerals, which
condense a large amount of information down to a useful
size.

Huygens studied law and mathematics at the
University of Leyden. Afterwards he traveled extensively
througout Europe, living in Denmark and France before
returning to The Netherlands. He dicovered the laws of
centrifugal force and invented the pendulum clock in 1655.
He maintained that light was moved by waves through
the aather, opposing Newton's corpuscular theory. He was
made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1663.

after the appearance of Newton's Principia, it
offered a characteristically mechanical reply to the
mathematically based explanation of Newton. However,
Huygens work made a profound impression on Newton,
as can be seen in the mechanistic orientation of
Newton's Opticks (London, 1704). In 1802, Thomas
Young exploited Huygen's theory to explain optical
interference, which would play an important role in the
optical aspects of mineralogy and crystallography of the
nineteenth century.
Variant issue, 1690: The work comes in two issues for
which no priority as been established. Issue A as above,
while issue В has the line "Par C.H.D.Z." replaced with
"Par Monsieur Christian Huygens, Seigneur de Zeelhem."
Both titles are reproduced in Horblit.
