In this 1811 letter, George Gibbs writes about his collection to Parker Cleaveland, professor of Chemistry at Bowdoin College. Gibbs announces in this letter his discovery of "the first cristal [sic] in a meteoric stone". The only remaining specimen of the Weston meteorite is in the "Gibbs Cabinet" at Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History. In 1816, Cleaveland wrote the first American textbook on mineralogy and geology; he is considered by many to be the father of American mineralogy. In 1822, the mineral gibbsite was named in honor of George Gibbs.

In keeping with today's managed-care constraints on laboratory testing, this text emphasizes diagnosis based on clinical findings and judicious use of laboratory tests.
