“TO: 
CHARLES A. POULSON, Esa. 
Member of the Academy of Natural Sciences, gc. 
Dear Sir,—I take the liberty to dedicate this 
volume to you, whose liberality has afforded the 
friends of science the use of a library, richer in 
works on Conchology than any other in the United 
States; and ofa collection of shells almost unrivalled | 
by any private cabinet: It is therefore with great 
pleasure that I embrace this occasion to acknowledge 
my obligations to you; and I sincerely wish that so . 
pleasing and instructive a study as that of Natural : 
Science may long continue to amuse your leisure — ; 
hours. | 
J am, dear sir, 
Your obedient servant, 
T. A. Conran.
