Excerpt from Personality of Insects
We have sought to make this book not only in teresting, but extremely helpful to every class of individuals. Much study and Observation has taught us that practically all human inventions were anticipated by Nature, and it requires no prophet to state that the great inventions of the future will be revealed by Her also. In writing of Insects we have striven in all ways to respect the latest discoveries of recognized entomologists. We believe that a Nature book may be readable, and at the same time have the backing of scientific knowl edge and authority. Maurice Maeterlinck's Life Of The Bee has done more to make known Bees than all the science books of the past ten years.
