Summary: "Beach Rambles in Search of Seaside Pebbles and Crystals" by John George Francis is a fascinating exploration of mineralogy and seaside treasures, written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as both an informative guide and a personal account, inviting readers to appreciate the beauty and diversity of pebbles and crystals found along the British coastline.
