Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Conchology: Describing the Orders, Genera, and Species of Shells, Their Most Prominent Characteristics, and Usual Mode of Classification; With Observation on the Nature and Properties of Animals; And Directions for Collecting, Preserving, and Cleaning Shells
It is a circumstance no less to be lamented than wondered at, that, in the present enlightened age, when the cultivation of science, and natural history in particular, is so eminently conspicuous, Concholog, or the natural history of shells, should have participated so sparingly of that active spirit of research and investigation, which has been so lavishly bestowed on almost all other branches.
One obvious reason, however, may be assigned, why Conchology has remained so long stationary in the lists of improvement. Till lately, no publications on shells have appeared, but such as were abstruse, voluminous, expensive, and difficult of access; and as most of them were in languages not always thoroughly understood, the attainment of knowledge through their means, frequently became a source of difficulty and trouble.
