Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The last thorough revision of Rutley's Elements of Mineralogy
appeared as the 23rd Edition in 1936. In subsequent editions, an
effort to keep abreast with the great progress in the science was
made by small (and often awkward) modifications and, especially, by
the addition of an independent chapter on the atomic structure of
minerals. For this present edition, the complete re-setting of the
book has made possible not only the integration of the added
chapter on atomic structure into its proper place in the accounts
of the chemical and physical properties of minerals, but also
extensive rewriting and rearrangement of the material in the first
part of the book. To this part, also, has been added a short
chapter on the classification of minerals. In the second part, the
Descrip tion of Minerals, numerous, if not so extensive,
modifications and modernisations have been introduced. A couple of
dozen new figures have been added, mostly in the early part of the
book. More specifically, the major changes in this new edition are
the following. The electronic structure of atoms supplies the guide
lines for the whole account of mineral-chemistry; additional items
concern the electrochemical series, of interest in the occurrence
and metallurgical treatment of ores, and chemical analysis. On the
physical side, the dependence of physical properties of minerals on
their atomic structure is emphasized and, in addition, a brief
account of radioactivity and isotopic age-determination is given.
