PSYCHE ADVERTISER. 

 Dear Sir: 



Since ii is well recognized thai labors for the advance- 

 ment ol science are rarely remunerative to the laborers, though benefiting 

 society, persons who have the motive to undertake such labors expect ^ 

 fro™ society al large thai pecuniary assistance which is needed to give c? 

 effect to their intentions: ° g 



, Th " Cambridge Entom gical dub, for which the undersigned are £ 



authorized to speak, is engaged in the prosecution of a work ofrec nized 



value, for .!„- expense of which its slender resources are not sufficient. 

 This Club. h.-n lag its headquarters In ( lambridge, Massachusetts, but 

 its membership distributed from Maine ... California, has published, during 



nearly two years, a monthly periodical entitled Psyche. This magazine 2 



has contained, besides the class of matter usually found in an entomolog- ^ 



, ;; al Publication, a current Bibliographical Record of all writings upon £ 



Entomology published in North America, and of all foreign writings upon <£ 

 North American Entomology, from the beginning of the vear 1874 I. is 



upon the value of this Record that the Club bases its claim for assistance o 



li-om all persons disposed to render aid. Indeed, the magazine was start- ^ 



ed principally as a channel for the publication of this Record, which has § 



occupied about GO out of the 136 pages already issued. £_ 



Past experience shows that an annual income of nearly one hundred cL 



and fifty dollars more than can be expected from ordinary subscriptions is *+ 



needed to save the Club from exceeding its resources in the publication ° 



-I tins magazine. It has therefore been determined to establish a publi- 2 



cation fund of at least two thousand dollars, the income of which is to be 2 



m devoted solely to the publication of this magazine with its Record. Should ^ 

 tins fund be secured, American Entomologists will have the satisfaction 

 oi possessing a current analysis of the literature of their own department 

 m^re carefully prepared and more promptly issued than any which Vie students 



of other departments possess. The character of the analysis will readily be *g 



seen from the contents of the accompanying specimen. A. the end of each Cq 



volume of Psyche a classified index to the Record will be given. ro 



Tin Committee therefore earnestly appeal to you for contributions to this ^ 



/^assuring you that while the largest generosity will be fully ap- £-" 



preciated, any small sura will be gratefully received. ' *=»*
