"This admirable little work is designed to facilitate the study of 

 natural history, daily becoming more attractive, not only from its in- 

 trinsic interest, but also from its midtiplied relations with geology. It 

 wiU furnish the young conchologist with an elementary manual, which, 

 though scientitic in its form, is, by the simplicity of its method, and 

 the familiarity of its style, calcidated effectually to assist him in the 

 early steps of his progress in this fascinating piu'suit," — St. James's 

 Chronicle. 



" An useful manual upon an extensive department of natural history 

 which cannot fail to be interesting to tliat class of readers, who occupy 

 their leisure in this delightful study ; it is printed in a large and legible 

 type, and exceedingly well embellished by wood-cuts introduced with 

 the letter-press." — BelVs Messenger. 



" An elementaiy manual, designed for the young conchologist, and 

 admirably adapted to its pmi^ose. The perusal of the introductory 

 chapter is calculated to excite an interest in the study even with those 

 who may have regarded this branch of science as one of the least useful ; 

 for the account therein given of the little creatiu-es that inhabit shells, 

 the mode in which they enlarge and repair their habitations, their forma- 

 tion and various modes of existence, opens a new held of study, and 

 supplies an incentive to investigation beyond the mere classification of 

 painted shells.
