A FAMILIAR INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF INSECTS; BEING A NEW AND GREATLY IMPROVED EDITION OF THE GRAMMAR OF ENTOMOLOGY. BY EDWARD NEWMAN, F. L.S., Z. S., &c. 'My wish and judgment about the affair has always been this; that I should much prefer that some one of those, more skilful than myself, had undertaken it; but still that it is better even I should undertake it, than it be left undone."-Cicero. THIS ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF AN INTRODUCTORY WORK ON INSECTS, WRITTEN WITH A VIEW OF BLENDING AMUSEMENT WITH INSTRUCTION, IS INSCRIBED To WILLIAM YARRELL, ESQ., WHOSE LABOURS HAVE CONTRIBUTED SO GREATLY TO RENDER NATURAL HISTORY A POPULAR PURSUIT, WITHOUT IN ANY DEGREE LOWERING ITS DIGNITY AS A SCIENCE. |
