Excerpt from An Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue of Recent Bivalve Shells Tm: aim of the present book was to describe and notice a large number of shells in a limited number of pages. It was designed, originally, as an abridged translation of the excellent edition of Lamarck's 'animaux sans Vertebres' by Deshayes, enlarged by the addition of such species as appeared to the writer to be most decidedly distinct from any enumerated in those volumes. This selection proved embarrassing; since many of the Lamarckian diagnoses, being far too brief for the purpose of definition, suited fairly enough, from their very succinctness, the characters of several subsequently named shells, Which otherwise the author would have gladly introduced. Up to the genus Nucula the plan of the work has been uniform, the species of the 'animaux' following each other in numerical suc cession beyond that point, the author has allowed himself a less fettered exercise of his more matured judgment; nevertheless, no Lamarckian species has been wilfully omitted.

Using original Victorian prints, by collectable artist George Sowerby, marine biologist and author Paul Chambers has produced the first comprehensive guide to shells for over a century. The original prints are intricately detailed (much better than photographs which lack the exact detail of these drawings) and are a selling point in themselves but will be complemented by informative but accessible text, including families and to show what's edible, dangerous or belongs to mollusc families and in what part of the country they can be discovered. A delightful study by the leading expert and a must for anyone interested in learning more about shells - or who just enjoys beachcombing with the family.
