“ This great work is intended to embrace a complete description and illustration 
of the shells of molluscous animals ; and so far as we have seen, it is not such as 
to disappoint the large expectations that have been formed respecting it. The 
figures of the shells are all of full size ; in the descriptions a careful analysis is 
given of the labours of others ; and the author has spared no pains to make 
the work a standard authority on the subject of which it treats.” — Athenaum. 
“ The figures, by Mr. Sowerhy, are of the natural size, and most accurately 
coloured. The text abounds with important criticisms and synonymes, whilst it 
embodies a vast amount of information on the habits, modes of development, 
and progress of growth ; together with the localities and circumstances of habita- 
tion, resulting from the communicated experience of Mr: Cuming .” — Literary 
Gazette. 
“ Since the discovery of extra-tropical America, and the diffusion of our em- 
pire into newly discovered lands, the science of conchology has reeeived important 
aid from inland workers, dependent rather on communicated materials. The 
principal of these are Lister, Seba, Martyn, Gualter, Linnscus, Martini, Chemnitz, 
Bruguiere, Lamarck, Broderip, Sowerhy, and, lastly, Lovell Reeve, whose pon- 
derous tomes, so admirably illustrated by the younger Sowerhy, wiR be a lasting 
monument of patient industry and sound critical discernment .” — Morning Lost. 
The figures are drawn and litliograplied by G. B. Sowerby, 
Junr., of tlie natural size, except those requiring to be enlarged.
