Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Conchological Dictionary of the British Islands The elegance and simplicity in the contour or shape of shells, the richness and variety of their colors, and the singularity in many of their forms, have ever excited attention to this confined but in teresting department of created nature and the comparative facility with which they may be col lected and arranged, together with the durability of their structure, make them peculiarly adapted for the display ofa cabinet. Their uses, however, have not been entirely confined to the gaze of curiosity, or to fanciful embellishment. The inhabitants of many of them give a rich and nutritious food. The greater part of the lime used in America, for agri. Cultural and architectural purposes, is made of cal cined shells the public streets of Christianstadt and Santa Cruz, are paved with the Strombus Gigas; and the town of Conchylion is entirely built of marine shells. The blue and White belts of the Indians of North America, as symbols of peace and amity, in opposition to the war hatchet, and by which the fate of nations is often decided, are made of the Venus mercenaria; and the gorget of the chieftain's war-dress is formed of the Mytiv lus margaritiferus. The military horn of many African tribes is the Murex Tritonis the rare vav riety of which, with the volutions reversed, is held.

Download or read book British Seashells written by Paul Chambers and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 mollusk 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 beach combing with the family.
