First published in 1912, Mineralogy is a classic textbook on the subject by one of the foremost mineralogists of his time. Hatch provides a thorough and systematic treatment of the physical and chemical properties of minerals, as well as their identification and classification. The book includes many helpful illustrations and tables, making it an essential resource for students and researchers alike.
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.
