Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Simple Minerals in the Systematic Collection of Trinity College, Dublin
This task, which, for several reasons unnecessary to specify, proved one of much greater difficulty than I had anticipated, has, as far as respects the naming and classifying of the specimens, been for a consider able time completed; but I have delayed till now the printing of the Catalogue, in the hope of being there by enabled to fill up, by purchase or otherwise, the lacunae still occurring in the collection. This ex pectation has been but partially realized; but as the wants are not numerous or important, and as, from the activity of mineralogists and chemists, new spe cies are being described from day to day, and that, therefore, an absolutely complete collection scarcely admits of being formed, I conceived I would not be justified in any further postponement, the more es pecially as mineralogy has become an essential part of the curriculum in the School ofengineering, and the Museum is consequently much frequented by students who are perfecting their knowledge of this important department of practical science.
