Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of British Mollusca, Vol. 1: And Their Shells Although our work is long, our Preface need not be so; nor, indeed, need it be more than a grateful record of the obligations we are under to the many friends who have assisted in our task. That a History of the British Mollusca in accordance with the present state of Natural History Science, and of the present knowledge of our native species was required, will, we are confident, be denied by no person qualified to offer an opinion upon the matter. Materials for such a work have long been in course of collection, and amply amassed by ourselves and others. We entered upon the task diffidently, and not before the field was fairly open, those best qualified for the labour urging us to attempt what had almost become a duty. The invaluable and classical collection of British shells in the possession of Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys, and the extensive experience of its liberal proprietor, placed within the reach of that energetic investigator, materials for a work like this, such as no other naturalist could command, but the imperious demands of professional avocations withheld the leisure where there was both will and ample knowledge.
