From an institutional library with usual stamps. A rare set covering over a decade of late nineteenth-century French research in the fields of mineralogy and crystallography.. Text French. Société Française de Minéralogie et de Cristallographie was founded in 1878, by the French mineralogist Alfred Louis Olivier Legrand des Cloizeaux (1817-1897), its primary objective was ‘to establish a link between all those who are interested in the progress of Mineralogy and Crystallography'. The society's journal commenced as 'Bulletin de la Société minéralogique de France' (1878-1885), and continued publication, with changes of title to this day. Eminent members of the society who published in the journal include naturalists and petrographers such as Ferdinand-André Fouqué (1828-1904) and Alfred Lacroix (1863-1948); and crystallographers, such as Ernest-François Mallard, Grégoire Wyrouboff (1843-1913) and Henri Dufet; with des Cloizeaux, acting as a link between these two areas of research. The Bulletin includes important papers, observations and descriptions of new minerals, such as Dumortierite, described by Ferdinand Gonnard (Vol. 4, pp.2-8). Some papers are illustrated with lithographic plates and a few with early photographs of minerals mounted on plates. The present set comprises the first 16 volumes of the journal published between 1878 and 1893, and includes the index volume to accompany the first ten volumes..

John Murray 1919-1925 , . . PB. 19 parts, 8vo, orig. wrappers, some wear. Ex-lib. Good. With bookplate of the Herbert Lister Bowman Library, Laboratory of Mineralogy, University of Oxford.. This series was published by the Imperial Institute in London. Founded in 1893, the Institute was initially managed by central government, but later management responsibilities were transferred a number of times. In 1916 management was transferred from the Board of Trade to the Colonial Office. A number of Technical Advisory Committees were set up to control the Imperial Institute, one called the Mineral Resources Committee, commissioned this series of monographs on the mineral resources of the Empire. Commencing in 1917, all the monographs were prepared under the direction of the Mineral Resources Committee with the assistance of the scientific and technical staff of the Imperial Institute. Each volume provided details and statistics of the sources of each mineral. The stated aim of this works was to give 'a general account of the occurrences and commercial utilisation of the more important minerals, particularly in the British Empire’. A remarkable publication providing an overview of mineral resources within the British Empire, and also globally.Includes: Antimony, Bauxite and Aluminium, Bismuth Ores, Chromium, Coal, Cobalt Ores, Copper Ores, Gold, Lead Ores, Manganese Ores, Mercury Ores, Molybdenum Ores, Nickel Ores, Oil Shales, Platinum Metals, Potash (2nd edition), Silver Ores, Tin Ores, Tungsten Ores, Vanadium Ores.
