The Constitution of the Natural Silicates is a book written by Frank Wigglesworth Clarke and published in 1914. It is a comprehensive study of the chemical and mineralogical properties of silicates, which are a group of minerals that make up a significant portion of the Earth's crust. The book covers the classification, crystallography, and physical properties of silicates, as well as their chemical composition and the processes by which they form. Clarke's work is based on extensive research and analysis of mineral samples from around the world, and his findings have been influential in the field of geology and mineralogy. The book is considered a classic in the field and is still widely referenced today. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of minerals and rocks, as well as the Earth's composition and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
