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 ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ 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.
