Excerpt from Manual of the New Zealand Coleoptera

As the author resides in the Island of Kawau, it has been impossible to afford him the Opportunity of revising the proof sheets of his work, so that the entire correction of the press was done in this office, but as the ms. Was most carefully and clearly prepared, and the precaution was taken when possible to refer to the original authorities quoted, it is hoped that the work will be found free from serious errors. Before the printing of the work was finally proceeded with, the ms. Was submitted to Professor hutton, who has a special knowledge of this branch of Zoology, and who reported that he considered it a most excellent work, containing 1050 species, a large part of which are described for the first time, and that no country outside Europe and the United States has produced such a Catalogue. I think naturalists will endorse this opinion of the value of the work, and when moreover it is known that the author has laboured without any pecuniary reward, in a remote part of the Colony away from libraries, thus entailing a very considerable expenditure in providing himself with the necessary works of reference, this work cannot fail to be regarded as a monument of the zeal and industry of an ardent naturalist.

The author desires it to be stated that the following pages contain complete descriptions of almost all the New Zealand Coleoptera known to science.
