MARTYN'S UNIVERSAL CONCHOLOGIST. 



A copy of this rare work has recently been obtained by the 

 Boston Society of Natural History. Bernard Quaritch, in de- 

 scribing this copy in his catalogue, says "4 vols. atlas 4to, 

 with colored frontispiece, 2 engraved plates of medals and J60 

 plates containing 322 colored figures. Contemporary tree-calf, 

 neatly rebacked. With the [John] Townly book plate. 



"The copy agrees with that in the British Museum (Natural 

 History) and is quite complete. The complete work in four 

 volumes is very rare although the first two are comparatively 

 common. Even Sir Joseph Banks was unsuccessful when en- 

 deavoring to obtain the entire work. Evidently Martyn only 

 completed copies by order. Other than the copy offered, only 

 one example has occurred for sale by auction in London since 

 1895 and I have been able to trace the sale of only eight copies 

 for upwards of 50 years prior to that date. The Roscoe copy 

 sold for 32 2 s. 6d. and the Fonthill example for 52.10 s." 

 The Society's copy cost 21.
