I.—Address on “The how and the where to collect minerals in Scotland”

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 March 2018

Extract

Professor Heddle remarked, that this title would sound strangely, to southern ears; as in England and probably also in Ireland, the putting money enough in the pocket, and proceeding to the shop of a dealer, was the ordinary, and indeed the all sufficient method; though some enthusiastic collectors might go so far as to visit the openings of mines; while some adventurous ones might even explore them. In Scotland no such method of procedure could be adopted; there were absolutely no mineral dealers now in Scotland; there were almost no mines, and of these none now yielded minerals of special interest.
