"The present volume is more than an amplification and 

 correction of its predecessor. It has been my aim, by the 

 insertion of more readable matter, to render the ' Companion' 

 more entertaining, without sacrificing any of its usefulness, 

 and without enhancing the cost. 



" One main object of this book is to induce Entomologists 

 to observe and record their observations. We must multiply 

 the number of observers. Every nook and corner must be 

 ransacked by some observing Entomologist; and the more 

 labourers in the field the sooner will the harvest be gathered 

 in." — Preface.
