XVIII.—Chapters on the Mineralogy of Scotland. Chapter Seventh.—Ores of Manganese, Iron, Chromium, and Titanium

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 July 2012

Extract

I have thrown together, in this chapter, the ores of several members of a family of the elements, which may be called the family of the magnetics;* and I have also, from its frequent chemical association with iron, placed titanium along with them. No attempt was made by me to analyse the ordinarily-employed iron ores, but only such as, from their apparent purity, or from the excellence of the specimens, appeared to be of mineralogical interest.
