Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Composition and Structure of Meteorites
The paper here presented was written to form a part of a series to be issued by the Smithsonian Institution, but on completion was adjudged too technical for that particular publication. Rather than attempt its popularization the author withdrew it, substituting in its place a few pages of more easily comprehended generalities. Since then, on considering the matter, and in View of the fact that there is nothing in English covering the same ground, it has been thought advisable to further elaborate and publish as here presented. Students of meteorites in America are at this moment not too abundant, and anything that will excite interest, or be of help, is surely worthy of publication.
