Travelling extensively throughout his life, he spent time in the US and Europe, corresponding regularly with fellow scientists to compare notes and observations on the Unionidae. Through his detailed descriptions of their families and species, Lea established the field of conchology, the study of mollusks, and became a leader in the study of freshwater mussels. His work in defining and naming many new species of mussels in North America earned him international recognition. Lea's writings contributed greatly to the advancement of malacology, and his work on the Unionidae is considered a cornerstone of the field.

In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
