Description
Published in 10 pts. between 1846 and 1849. The work was originally planned as a set in 2 v., but publication of pts. 11-16 was delayed until 1859. The completed set was then published under the title, Elements of conchology. For more information on dates of publication, see article by A. Reynell in Proceedings of the Malacological Society of London (March 20, 1916, v. 12:1), p. 44-46
The plates are drawn and lithographed by H. Miller, G.B. Sowerby, or Arthur Adams; all of the plates are printed by Reeve or Reeve, Benham & Reeve. Plates are hand-colored
The plates are in three sequences: A through N (without J); 1 through 31; and XXXII through XXXVII [but plates XXXVI and XXXVII are misnumbered as XXVI and XXVII, respectively]
