A System of Mineralogy. Descriptive Mineralogy ... By J. D. Dana ... aided by George Jarvis Brush ... Fifth edition. Rewritten and enlarged, etc
A nineteenth-century American mineralogy reference, James Dwight Dana's System of Mineralogy in its fifth edition, rewritten with George Jarvis Brush and published by John Wiley & Son in 1868 for students, collectors and working geologists. The cuts are numbered line diagrams of crystal forms, faces lettered and edges dotted where hidden, useful as geometric motifs, faceted solids and technical-drawing texture.
