The plates and sheets thus dispersed were however with diificulty
and at considerable expence brought together by the spirited conduct
of the present publisher, Mr. H . G. B o h n , who, anxious that the work
should if possible be completed, again applied to Mr. G r a y , but much
against my wishes. That gentleman however repeated his offer of
assistance, but as before it served only to delay the work another year.
At length Mr. G. B . S o w e r b y was engaged to complete the Conchology,
and to revise the unprinted portion of Mr. G r a y ’s MS., and thus after
an unprecedented and vexatious delay, and with a considerable additional
expense, I am now only able to submit the work to the public.
