Sinossi
Excerpt from Index Testaceologicus, or a Catalogue of Shells, British and Foreign, Arranged According to the Linnean System: With the Latin and English Names, References to Authors, and Places Where Found; Illustrated With 2300 Figures
The plan followed in the present undertaking has been to give one characteristic figure of each species, and the arrangement adopted has been that of Linnaeus. The Author is well aware that in this age of general novelty he shall be censured by the young, and perhaps by the experienced conchologist, for adhering too tenaciously to the principles of his early master; but let it be remembered, that all systems built on artificial foundations must be liable to objection, and that it still remains to be proved whether the present innovators had not better have trusted to the Linnean method, with such additions and divisions as its great author might be supposed to have made had he now been living, than by an extreme multiplication of the genera, rather to increase than remove the difficulty of determining the species.
