" How many are so regfirdless,— take so little note of what passes around 

 them, that they would go to their graves without discovering half the beauties 

 of Nature if no one unfolded its leaves for them ; thus losing some ot the 

 purest pleasures the embodied soul is capable of enjoying, for want of an 

 interpreter. Such interpreters, while they open to many a new and inex- 

 haustible source of pleasure, are of great utility ; and we must love and 

 venerate the man who employs his talents in thus increasing the amount ot 



human happiness." 



'■ Edward Doubleday. 



" Eeader, our companionship ends here. Should the author have persuaded 

 thee to follow in his f.jotsteps, to tread the paths ^^hlch he has trodden, to 

 gaze with an in(iuiring and delighted eye on those things which he has gazed 

 on,— it is enough. He bids thee affectionately— farewell!" 



Edwaiid Newman, in ' Grammar of Entomolo(jij. 



Head his true nature in his works."
