The Author cannot conclude without testifying in 
this public manner, his most humble and grateful ac- 
knowledgements to those Sovereign Princes, who have 
been graciously pleased to honour him with their ap- 
probation, and to his other illustrious and generous 
Patrons in all parts of Europe, for the kind and liberal 
encouragement which he has altogether experienced 
from them, in the publication of his work on the Non- 
descript Shells from the South Seas : — and as a farther 
confirmation of this exalted patronage, he has the satis- 
faction to add, that his Holiness the Pope, his Imperial 
Majesty the Emperor of Germany, his Majesty the King 
of Naples, and his most Catholic Majesty the King of 
Spain, have each of them been graciously pleased to 
present the Author with magnificent gold medallions* 
* Elegant Engravings of these gold medallions accompany this work.
