Excerpt from The Mineral Conchology of Great Britain: Or Coloured Figures and Descriptions of Those Remains of Testaceous Animals or Shells, Which Have Been Preserved at Various Times and Depths in the Earth English Botany and British Mineralogy being now nearly finished it is the desire of many, that those plants of ancient formation, which have been preserved in the rocks may be elucidated. I have long been attentive to the subject, and hope to indulge my friends and myself in a short time. At present the digging for the Archway at Highgate, having led to many unexpected discoveries, and causing a still louder call for the Elucidation of the remains of Shells, I do not delay to publish them, especially as they greatly help to form a catalogue that includes many other habitats, even some foreign ones, so that when this work is complete, very little will remain to be done to include what are foreign, as one place will identify another through the whole known world.
