Tue following pages, intended for a sequence to the
Conchologist’s Text-Book, will, I trust, be found service-
able to those beginners, who, after having mastered the
difficulties of the genera, and so far arranged their col-
lections, are now resolving to enrich their specimens by
the specific titles also. The Author is not aware of any
English work, on the Lamarkian system, that would aid
them in their endeavours, and has therefore compiled a
descriptive catalogue of those shells, which, from their
moderate price and comparative commonness, will be
most likely to reach the cabinet of the youthful amateur
in this pleasing science. The references to figures are
solely made to modern works,—as the more ancient,
from their rarity and costliness, seldom, if ever, are pes-
sessed by that class of readers for whom this book is
especially written. With similar views, four books only
have been quoted for the iconography ; but wherever
no illustrative drawing was to be met with in them,
the outline has been added in the accompanying Plates.
I need but further state (previous to committing
vi ADVERTISEMENT.
these pages to the mercy of the public), that continual
comparisons have been made of the descriptions of dif-
ferent writers for the selection of the best; and that
scarce in a single case have the characteristics of a shell
been given without the shell itself being either in the
Author’s possession, or before his eyes.

THE PALACE OF ARCHITECTURE:
A ROMANCE OF ART AND HISTORY.
By GEORGE WIGHTWICK, ArcHITEcT.
Illustrated with a Coloured Map, and Two Hundred and Eleven Plates
and Woodcuts.
The object of this work is to bring forward the subject of Architecture in
a more popular manner than has ever yet been attempted. It is addressed
not more to the young Student than to the general reader of either sex, and
aims at exhibiting in an attractive point of view what has hitherto been too
exclusively connected with conventional science and mathematics. The
picture, the poetry, the sentiment, and the associations with which the
subject teems, are therefore prominently regarded; while as much of the
science as is necessary to critical appreciation and a knowledge of the
general principles of design, is involved in its treatment.
The Plates are engraved by LE Krux, Brooke, Cates, HUMPHREYS,
and WINKLEsS.
