A FAMir.lAR 



Introduction to the History of Insects. 



Bv Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S., 

 Late President of the Entomological Society. 



This work is illnstrated by a profusion of engravings, exe- 

 cuted in the first style of the art, from the Author's own 

 drawings on the wood. It is divided into four parts. The 

 Jiisl gives a detailed account of the habits and manners of 

 the most interesting insects, and a description of their won- 

 derful Iransforiiialions. The second treats of capturing, 

 killing and preserving insects, and of constructing cabinets : 

 the most am})le details are given, and the Author has taken 

 especial pains to explain the most expeditious modes of 

 killing insects, in order to inflict no unnecessary pain on the 

 insects themselves, and also to save the feelings of the hu- 

 mane and kind-hearted, which are too often outraged by the 

 modes in common use. In the third ])art the Author de- 

 scribes, in an easy and popular manner, the structure of 

 insects, using language which all may understand, yet never 

 deviating fiom scientific accuracy : he has written for the 

 public at large, and not for that learned but limited portion 

 of the public to which the works of modern Entomologists 

 are exclusively addressed. The Jour (h part gives a sketch 

 of the classification of insects; and the work concludes with 

 an Alphabetical Index, each technical word having an ex- 

 planation as well as reference ; and in this part of the work 

 are explained not merely the terms recommended for 

 adoption, but also the objectionable terms in common use, 

 pointing out the correct phrases recomujended in their stead.
