pp. lxxx, 486; viii, 557, (i); x, 616; vi, 301, (i) Directions to the Binder. 203 plain lithographic plates [139 of shells and 64 of animals]. All half-titles discarded. Early deep green morocco, all edges gilt, scuffing and rubbing at all edges, head of spine of v.IV is torn, book-plates of ROBERT DAMON and PHILIP B. MASON, occasional annotation, a good set. *ROBERT DAMON (1814 4 May 1889) English conchologist and geologist. Damon was at first a hosier and glover but with his son Robert Ferris Damon (1845 1929) he established a dealership in natural history specimens in Weymouth. The company supplied museums throughout North and South America, Australia and Europe with much Dorset geological material, from the late 1840s to 1914. In 1860 Damon wrote Geology of Weymouth and the Isles of Portland; with Notes on the Natural History of the Coast and Neighbourhood which includes a map of the district, geological sections, plates of fossils, and coast views, in 1884 a second edition with archaeological notes was published. He also wrote (and published himself in 1857) A catalogue of the shells of Great Britain and Ireland with their synonyms and authorities. Damon died aged 75 at his museum in Weymouth from heart disease. The species Amoria damonii Gray, and Paramelania damoni were named in his honour.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. None (illustrator). A set of reference books on British Molluscs by Professor Edward Forbes and Sylvanus Hanley. Complete in four volumes. Volume I: including the Tunicata, and the families of Lamelli-Branchiata as far as Cyprinidae. Volume II: including the remaining families of Bivalves, the Pteropoda, and the Gasteropoda as far as Ianthinidae. Volume III: including the families of Gasteropoda from Neritidae to Elysiadae. Volume IV: Pulmonifera and Cephalopoda. With numerous black and white plates to the rear of volumes I and IV. Professor Edward Forbes FRS, FGS (12 February 1815 18 November 1854)[1] was a Manx naturalist. In 1846, he published in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey, i. 336, his important essay On the Connection between the distribution of the existing Fauna and Flora of the British Isles, and the Geological Changes which have affected their Area, especially during the epoch of the Northern Drift. It is therein pointed out that, in accordance with the theory of their origin from various specific centres, the plants of Great Britain may be divided into five well-marked groups: the W and SW Irish, represented in the N of Spain, the SE Irish and SW English, related to the flora of the Channel Islands and the neighbouring part of France; the SE English, characterised by species occurring on the opposite French coast; a group peculiar to mountain summits, Scandinavian in type; and, lastly, a general or Germanic flora. From, a variety of arguments the conclusion is drawn that the greater part of the terrestrial animals and flowering plants of the British Islands migrated thitherward, over continuous land, at three distinct periods, before, during and after the glacial epoch. The year 1851 witnessed the removal of the collections of the Geological Survey from Craig's Court to the museum in Jermyn Street, and the appointment of Forbes as professor of natural history to the Royal School of Mines just established in conjunction therewith. In 1852 was published the fourth and concluding volume of Forbes and S. Hanley's History of British Mollusca; also his Monograph of the Echinodermata of the British Tertiaries. In contemporary blue cloth bindings with gilt lettering to the spines. Externally, smart. Internally, firmly bound. Hinges are slightly tender on Volume IV. Pages are generally bright and clean. Very Good. book.

First Edition
8vo, 4 vols. (8 5/8 x 5 5/8 inches). [lxxx], 486, [viii]; 557; [x], 616; [vi], 301, [1]pp. 203 lithographic plates by G.B. Sowerby and James Decarle Sowerby. Uniformly bound in contemporary blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt. First edition of this standard work on British shells. Edward Forbes was a malacologist and one of the pioneers of marine studies, laying the foundation of what would come to be known as the field of oceanography. Born on the Isle of Man, the young Forbes was interested in collecting insects, shells, minerals, fossils, and plants from an early age. Though he initially aspired to be an artist, he changed his course of study to medicine at the University of Edinburgh and continued pursuing independent scientific research in natural history while there. After several years, Forbes abandoned his medical studies to travel and publish works on marine biology, botany, and conchology. Throughout the 1830s and '40s, he travelled to Norway, Algiers, present-day Austria and Slovenia, Paris, and the Mediterranean region to conduct research. Facing financial troubles, Forbes accepted a position as curator of the museum of the Geological Society of London in 1842, left two years later to became palaeontologist to the Geological Survey of Great Britain, and later returned to the Society in 1853, when he became president. He was also appointed professor of natural history at the University of Edinburgh, a post he held for less than a year before his death in 1854. This is one of Forbes' most famous works, the other being History of British Starfishes and other Animals ofthe Class Echinodermata . The illustrations were done by George Brettingham Sowerby and James Decarle Sowerby and comprise of 139 of shells and 64 of animals. Nissen ZBI, 1406.
