Excerpt from A Manual of the Mollusca, or Rudimentary Treatise of Recent and Fossil Shells

The plan and title have been taken from the Manuel des Mollusques of M. Sander Rang, (1829) - incomparably the best work of its kind - for an acquaintance With which the writer was. Indebted, sixteen years ago, to his friend and master, william lon seale - the founder of the Devonian System in Geology.

On the subject of classification and nomenclature he has followed the advice and example of his former colleague in the Geological Society, the late prof. Edward forbes; without whose approval he has seldom added to, or deviated from, the practice and plan of the History of British Mollusca.
