Notes category
Specimens of British Minerals was written by the mineralogist and antiquary, Sir Philip Rashleigh. Published in two parts in 1797 and 1802, the New ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Library copy contains both of these parts bound together to form one volume. Although in a relatively unassuming binding, its author, provenance, and contents are significant both historically and bibliographically.
