In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

PYROXENE, n. [Gr., fire; a stranger; a guest in fire, unaltered.] Augite. A species of minerals of the class of stones, which has been named volcanic shorl; but it is a family which comprehends many substances of different appearances. It is almost always crystalized, but in complicated forms.
A common mineral
occurring in monoclinic crystals, with a prismatic angle of nearly
90°, and also in massive forms which are often laminated. It
varies in color from white to dark green and black, and includes many
varieties differing in color and composition, as diopside, malacolite,
salite, coccolite, augite, etc. They are all silicates of lime and
magnesia with sometimes alumina and iron. Pyroxene is an essential
constituent of many rocks, especially basic igneous rocks, as basalt,
gabbro, etc.
* The pyroxene group contains pyroxene proper, also the related orthorhombic species, enstatite, bronzite, hypersthene, and various monoclinic and triclinic species, as rhodonite, etc. | ||||||||
