Description

"The importance of Woodward's treatise is manifest, from the standpoint of the mineralogist it provides a scheme of classification of as much merit as it was possible to accure in that time, and from the standpoints of the paleontologist and gemologist it truly identifies fossils for what they are, also figured stones to which all sorts of superstitious beliefs had been attached..."--Gemology by J. Sinkankas, entry no. 7324.
