In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

MOLLUS'CA, n. [from L. mollis, soft.] In zoology, a division or class of animals whose bodies are soft, without an internal skeleton, or articulated covering. Some of them breathe by lungs, others by gills; some live on land, others in water. Some of them are naked; others testaceous or provided with shells. Many of them are furnished with feelers or tentacula.
One of the grand divisions
of the animal kingdom, including the classes Cephalopoda, Gastropoda,
Pteropoda, Scaphopoda, and Lamellibranchiata, or Conchifera. These
animals have an unsegmented bilateral body, with most of the organs
and parts paired, but not repeated longitudinally. Most of them
develop a mantle, which incloses either a branchial or a pulmonary
cavity. They are generally more or less covered and protected by a
calcareous shell, which may be univalve, bivalve, or
multivalve.
* Formerly the Brachiopoda, Bryzoa, and Tunicata were united with the Lamellibranchiata in an artificial group called Acephala, which was also included under Mollusca. See Molluscoidea. | ||||||||
