16mo, 79 pages, printed wrappes Issued as Educations Series book 3 targeted to the school children of Illinois. "The manual is so written that it is a source of much information without reference to the prepared sets of minerals, rocks, and fossils and will therefore answer many inquiries regarding the character of the minerals and rocks of Illinois." - Preface. "Illinois is often described as an area of monotonous, uninteresting flat prairies. It is regrettable that this opinion is so generally accepted, because in fact the greater part of the State is more or less rugged and displays intriguing as well as scenic prospects, and even the more flattish areas possess a wealth of interesting phenomena." - Introduction. With 42 illustrations, and a Glossary.
