Rare. This Atlas of Mineralogy is an elementary textbook that is especially interesting because of its inclusion of the 26 chromolithographic plates that were previously issued in Gustav Adolf Sauer's Mineralkunde (Stuttgart, 1905-6) and also used in F. Leteur's Traité Élémentaire de Minéralogie Pratique (Paris, 1907).
