Systema Mineralogicum: Quo Corpora Mineralia in Classes, Ordines, Genera Et Species Suis Cum Varietatibus Divisa Describuntur, Atque Observationibus, (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149089972)

Systema Mineralogicum, Volume 2, by Johann Gottschalk Wallerius, is a landmark work in the field of mineralogy. Originally published in 1778, this volume continues Wallerius's systematic classification of minerals, dividing them into classes, orders, genera, and species, complete with observed variations. This meticulous categorization is supplemented by detailed observations, experimental data, and copperplate illustrations, offering a comprehensive overview of mineral knowledge at the time.

This historical text provides invaluable insights into the development of mineralogical science during the 18th century. It remains a significant resource for historians of science, geologists, and anyone interested in the early efforts to understand and classify the Earth's mineral resources. "Systema Mineralogicum" showcases the meticulous approach of early scientists and the foundations upon which modern mineralogy was built.
