24 b/w pls, spiral bd. 4.
Originally published in 1852 as "A Conchological Manual", this wonderfully comprehensive study of shells, including more than 700 illustrations in full color and black and white, entices the reader into a world of beauty, and the quite contemplation of some of the smaller, but not less wonderful, creations of nature. Sowerby has combined his own meticulous research with the work of great natural historians such as Lamarck and De Blainville, both of whom had devised important systems of conchological classification invaluable to the serious collector. He begins by defining a shell, its structure and growth, the habits and characteristics of land, freshwater and sea shells, and progresses into ever more detailed descriptions of particular genera. His text, which is powerful in its own descriptive clarity, is enhanced by fine black and white woodcuts. The main part of the volume is the conchological directory, an impressive compilation arrangedalphabetically and completed throughout by Sowerby's own exquisite color engravings: Aphrodite, Boar's Tusk, Mother of Pearl, Nogrobs, Saddle Oyster and Scissurella are just a few of the curious and rare specimens so vividly depicted. 139 pp., over 700 color and black and white illustrations, hc 4 [280 x 254 mm] [with dust jacket].

London. Gilbert & Rivington. 43 pp., hardcover [17.5 x 22 cm].
London, Sowerby, [1830]. 8vo (23.6 x 14.1 cm). Seven hand-coloured engraved plates with explanatory text leaves. Original printed wrappers. = Part of the first - and rarest - book of the first of three George Brettingham Sowerby's. With illustrations by the father of the author, James Sowerby (1757-1822).The Genera consist of 267 plates in total, each instalment usually having six plates and descriptive text. This is the complete 37th part, with the genera Tridacna, Littorina (with three new species), Turrilites, Turbo (with two plates), Galeomma (one new species), and Trochus. Thus the total is an unusual seven hand-coloured plates instead of the usual six. Apart from this "highly finished in colour" version, sold at 6s[hilling], there was also a plain edition, sold at 4s. Both are rare. Untrimmed. Front cover foxed, otherwise very good, clean. Loose parts in their original printed wrappers are very rare. Nissen ZBI, 3921; R. E. Petit George Brettingham Sowerby, I, II & III: their conchological publications and molluscan taxa, pp. 9-12.

London, G. B. Sowerby I, 1825. 8vo (22.7 x 14.4 cm). 139 pp. [vii, 92, xxxiv, 2, 4]; nine hand-coloured engraved plates. Red buckram. Spine with gilt title. = This is the work of George Brettingham the First (1788-1854), who bought the collection himself in order to sell it as a whole, or in parts. "Charles Bennet, fourth Earl of Tankerville.formed a shell collection that became famous, particularly after his death when it was put up for sale. It exceeded even the Bligh collection in choice and rare shells for it included some of the best specimens from the Portland museum and a large part of the Calonne shell collection" (Dance, A History of Shell Collecting, p. 107-108). In all, Dance spent 2½ pages of his 286-page book on the origin, contents, and sale of this collection, underscoring its importance in the history of malacology, and as a source of new species. Two numbered pages, placed before the plates, form a prospectus, or "Proposal" for the Species Conchyliorum or descriptions of all the known species of Recent shells. This pamphlet is not dated, and was apparently issued together with the Tankerville Catalogue. The Species Conchyliorum was advertised as a work containing 5,000 species described and figured on 900-1000 plates. Details of the different prices for subscribers with or without advance payment are given. The last four numbered pages, placed after the plates, form a catalogue, announcing this work, and the Tankerville Sale, as well as some of his stock. This copy of the Tankerville Catalogue does include the ninth plate (with Trichotropis bicarinatus), which often seems to be missing (see Junk Cat. 278). A few light spots in the text; the plates, however, fine, clean. Caprotti II, p. 220; Not in Nissen ZBI.

Erstausgabe
London, George Brettingham Sowerby, [1821-1834]. 8vo format (21.3 x 13.4 cm). [iv] pp.; 262 (of 267) lithographed and finely hand-coloured (all but three) plates. Contemporary uniform polished half calf over grained cloth boards. Spines with gilt ornamental bands and title. Brown endpapers. Edges finely sprinkled red. Preserved in custom-made pictorial shell-themed double slipcase. = The first - and rarest - book of the first of three George Brettingham Sowerby's. With illustrations by the father of the author, James Sowerby (1757-1822). In this copy, the 42 published parts are bound in chronologically. Each part contained at least three genera, in no systematical order. There are 116 genera in Volume I; and 122 in Volume II. Three of the parts, on Cymba and Melo, on Voluta, and on Placunamonia and Stylifer were written by the British malacologist William John Broderip (1789-1859) (see Petit). The second plate to Venus is plain, as always. The first 41 parts are complete. Of the 42nd and last published, two plates, viz. Neritopsis ('Nerilopsis' in the plate caption is an error), and one plate of Purpura are plain, and five plates, Trichotropis, Purpura (one of two), Lottia, Cerithium (one of two), and Glauconome are not present. The present Cerithium plate, however, is hand-coloured. All text is present. Nissen records 267 plates, but nearly all copies have fewer plates. Nissen based his count on a copy with numbered plates, presumably the much later Quaritch edition. Quaritch provided a title page; the first edition, having never been concluded, has none. In this copy, the original wrappers of Parts III and XXII act as titles. In the index to Part II, the last seven genera are added in pencil. Apparently, this copy was first bound and indexed as complete after 41 issues. However, the work was never officially concluded, and the incompleteness of Part 42 supports the view that in the end publication faltered. Alphabetical indexes, neatly written in an old hand, bound in the rear of each volume. The Argonauta and Nautilus plates bound after Hamites; the plates of Part VII collectively bound after the text leaves. Text leaves of Pleurotomaria and Gervillia bound in twice. Stamp on first prospectus page, otherwise very good, clean except for a few occasional spots. In all a very good copy. No complete copies have been auctioned since WWII.
