NEW WORKS ON ENTOMOLOGY. 173 



especially with the young, who enjoy a privilege that we of a 

 former generation were debarred from, in being early admitted 

 to fields of instruction and delight, which some time ago wen' 

 strictly fenced off from the narrow pen-fold of ' general education.' 



The book is, indeed, a marvel of cheapness, 



considerably more thau 600 closely-printed octavo pages for 5s. 



To our readers old and young — parents, children, 



teachers, respectively, we say, ' buy and read,' enjoy, verify and 

 enlarge, by the use of your own eyes and faculties, the curious 

 details in rural economy, animal biography, and mental philosophy, 

 amassed with so much study and personal observation, and 

 digested with equal taste and judgment by the learned authors 

 indissolubly associated in fame and remembrance, as they were in 

 life-long friendship, though now for a little while separated by a tem- 

 poral change. To the survivor of the two, we owe a very charming 

 addition to the volume in the shape of letters and recollections 

 connected with the first conception and progress of the work, and 

 the cordial friendship which, having originated and matured the 

 undertaking, so long survived its completion and participated its 

 success." 



THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S WEEKLY INTELLI- 

 GENCER FOR 1856. 8vo., pp. 212, cloth. Price 9s. 

 London: E. Newman, 9, Devonshire Street; W. Kent 

 and Co., 51 & 52, Paternoster Row. 



This originally appeared in penny* weekly numbers, and as an 

 instantaneous medium of communication between Entomologists in 

 all parts of the country it has proved most serviceable. The low 

 price and the amount of amusing matter infused into it rendered it 



* Of course 26 penny numbers only cost 2s. 2d. : why then is the 

 entire volume charged 9s. ? Simply for this reason ; the circulation was 

 not sufficiently extensive to make the sale at a penny remunerative. 

 Several Entomologists suggested a subscription should be made amongst 

 them for the amount of the deficit. This the Editor declined, but 

 having a number of copies on hand, he fixed on the complete and hound 

 sets such a price, that, if the whole were cleared oil' at that rate, the loss 

 would be nil, or nearly so. 



The Editor wishes to make the continuance of the " Intelligencer" a 

 certainty: at present it is only an experiment. Every additional sub- 

 scriber increases the chance of the •' Intelligencer" being continued. 

 The Editor would like to have it occasionally illustrated with wood-cuts. 

 Is he too sanguine I The number of Entomologists is daily increasing.
