Description
First edition. The English physician Martin Lister was the Royal Physician of Queen Anne. The present work was the first monograph dedicated to the mollusks. Lister describes essentially three classes of animals, i.e. spiders, terrestrial and fluvial shells, and marine shells. In the first section he corrects the mistakes of previous authors who wrote on arachnids and deals with their venom and its use in therapy. A classification of British spiders precedes the second chapter of the first part, where the different species of spiders are described according to their aspect and their alimentary habits. The second part contains a general description of terrestrial and fluvial shells and their classification. The largest part of the book though deals with marine shells, to which the nine plates refer. Lister describes extensively both bivalves and gastropods, including however also a sea-urchin among the molluscs. The final section is dedicated to the fossil shells which are found in England.
