Excerpt from The Journal of Conchology, Vol. 7: Established in 1874 as the Quarterly Journal of Conchology One of the first practical results of this revival was the establishment in 1876, by four Leeds conchologists (messrs. H. Crowther, W. Nelson, W. Denison Roebuck, and myself) of the Conchological Society. The society when formed gradually increased around this little local nucleus, until at the present time it is quite a powerful organization, though there are still large numbers of students who have not yet allied themselves with us. The vigour and ardour with which conchology is now pursued, and for which happy result the journal may surely claim much of the credit for having fostered and encouraged, is amply and convincingly evidenced not only by the successful establishment of conchological societies in London and Manchester, but by the recent publication of another journal, solely devoted to the subject, which journal I understand is and has been from its commencement a successful financial undertaking, the originator and editor of which periodical himself imbibed his love of conchology in Leeds.
