. Conchologia cestrica. The molluscous animals and their shells, of Chester county, Pa. Mollusks. 14 CONCHOLOGIA CESTRICA. physical, sciences, the watchword is — Omvard. The form, the sculpture, the painting, of the shells have not changed; but the inquiry has gone forth—Who are the artistic builders of those beautiful forms ? and what is their organic, and life history ? To answer these in- quiries, they have been interrogated in every sea, on every shore, on the land, and in the water, and sub- jected to the severest microscopic scrutiny. The stores of information, thus brought back, whether in its vast- ness, or its minuteness, of detail, has been applied to extend, and to improve, what was already known re- specting the shells. This knowledge now constitutes CONCHOLOGY. But the end is not yet. The heaven-aspiring mind of man will not rest here, satisfied. Having thus traced the creature, so far as his finite powers can go, he will be irresistibly led, by the spiritual aspirations of his being, " To look through nature, up to nature's God, " and to worship, and adore, that great, and good, Being whose wisdom planned, and whose power created, all those evidences of His omnipotence. To his mind, " Each moss, eacli shell, Each crawling insect, holds a rank, Important in the plans of Him Who fram'd their being." — Stillingjleet..
