Excerpt from Familiar Introduction to the History of Insects: Being a New and Greatly Improved Edition of the Grammar of Entomology
The Second Book: entitled Collection and Preser vation of Insects, contains nothing worthy of comment; it will be useful to beginners, and thus the author's only object in writing it will be attained.
The Third Book, entitled Physiology or Anatomy of Insects, is the record of the author's own observations he has given the names employed by other writers, when he could. Understand to what parts they referred, but in names alone has he availed himself of their labours the facts, the descriptions, unless given as quotations.
