Excerpt from The Conchological Illustrations
From the fact that the figures contained in the present work, are constantly quoted by the English and Continental conchologists, who have written during the course of its publication, there can be no doubt of the desirableness of continuing to publish figures of species, accompanied by information respecting localities, characters, and nomenclature, and the artist would feel a pleasure in doing so, even had he no reason to hope for a greater amount of usefulness or of success than at present enjoyed; but the question is, whether, by altering the plan, and reducing the scale of the figures, he might not command a greater degree of success, and contribute to the advancement of conchological knowledge, to a wider extent. The experiment is about to be made, and in taking leave of the subscribers for a time, the gratifying hope is entertained, that the future re-appearance of the artist, will take place under the influence of their continued encouragement, strengthened by that of many other friends to thc science.
