" We have been much pleased with the inspection of this new and truly original 

 contribution to the history of British Entomology. It bears manifest marks of 

 being the fruits of much labour and scientific research into a very interesting 

 department of knowledge, and is presented to the Public in a style of minute 

 elegance and accuracy, highly worthy of the interest of the subject which it 

 illustrates. The work is concluded by an explanation of the plates, which 

 contain very beautifully delineated figures of between 200 and 300 insects. We 

 need scarcely add our opinion, that, on the whole, the work is one which does 

 much lionour to the industry and science of Mr. Samouelle."

 naturalist, and as far as our approbation may extend, we should feel pleasure in 

 contributing to favour the reward due to his useful exertions."
