Excerpt from Letters on Entomology: Intended for the Amusement and Instruction of Young Persons, and to Facilitate Their Acquiring a Knowledge of the Natural History of Insects
IT is not the intention of the writer of these letters to offer a system of Entomology, but merely, a short abstract of some of the more elaborate works on that subject; which, how ever superior in importance, are more calcu lated for the scientific student, and often con tain details more interesting to thephysiologist than to the juvenile reader. The writer has therefore endeavoured to avoid the minute ness which might render the subject tedious, and has only to add, that her information is derived from Reaumur's Memoires, Shaw's Lectures, and that interesting work, the In. Troduction to Entomology; from which, in fact, the principal accounts are taken, and in which the discoveries of other naturalists are collected in the most attractive form.
