Excerpt from An Introduction to Entomology
Among the marvellous facts revealed by the study of insects, none is more striking than the wonderful transformations which many of these creatures undergo. A large part of this book is devoted to indicating these changes. In this chapter I wish simply to make a few generalizations regarding the metamorphoses of insects, and to define a few terms which are used in describing these changes.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Entomology
This work has been prepared to meet the demand for a textbook which shall enable students to acquire a thorough knowledge of the elementary principles of Entomology, and to classify insects by means of analytical keys similar to those used in Botany. By means of the keys the student can readily determine to what family any insect of which he has a specimen belongs. In many cases tables of genera are also given; and the more common or conspicuous species in each family have been described.
Although much pains has been taken to render easy the classification of specimens, an effort has been made to give the mere determination of the names of insects a very subordinate place. The groups of insects have been fully characterized, so that their relative affinities may be learned; and much space has been given to accounts of the habits and transformations of the forms described. As the needs of Agricultural students have been kept constantly in view, those species that are of economic importance have been described as fully as practicable, and particular attention has been given to descriptions of the methods of destroying those that are noxious, or of preventing their ravages.
The pronunciation of the technical terms has been indicated by marking the accented vowel, and at the same time indicating its length when the term is pronounced as an English word.
All the illustrations not credited to other sources are original, and have been and engraved by Mrs. Comstock.
