Excerpt from Mineral Systems, a Review: With Outline or an Attempted Classification of Minerals in Natural Groups 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 dis courtesy.
