Acknowledgements: The trilogy is yet to be published *, but there will be numerous acknowledgements in due course (a few appear in the slide show). The research and editing for Volume 1 were conducted pro bono, but were rewarded, as of 2023, by two generous honoraria from private donors, and by commitments toward publishing costs from the Canadian Geoscience Foundation, the Mineralogical Association of Canada and the Geological Association of Canada.

* A complete, readied Volume 1 is with the publisher now, November 2023, with permissions secured for all illustrations (a few of the initial choices were not available, and more could not be confirmed, but nevertheless - with some late substitutions and additions - there are circa 135 images in 93 numbered figures): the citation should be, more or less,

Boyle,RW (2024) A History of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry. Prehistory to the end of the Classical Period.
Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Newcastle upon Tyne, England (Wilson,GC, Butt,CRM, Garrett,RG and Robinson,HA, editors), circa 600pp., in press.
