  that 
  all 
  of 
  them, 
  when 
  complete, 
  will 
  advance 
  the 
  study 
  of 
  Entomology,

  will 
  reflect 
  honour 
  on 
  the 
  various 
  authors.

  A 
  very 
  novel 
  feature 
  in 
  this 
  work 
  is, 
  that 
  it 
  

   will 
  be 
  printed 
  in 
  four 
  languages, 
  English, 
  French, 
  German, 
  and 
  

   Latin. 
  There 
  can 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  this 
  will 
  be 
  a 
  great 
  advantage, 
  

   seeing 
  how 
  often 
  scientific 
  works 
  printed 
  in 
  one 
  language, 
  and 
  that 
  

   modern, 
  become, 
  as 
  it 
  were, 
  sealed 
  books 
  to 
  the 
  majority 
  of 
  the 
  scien- 
  

   tific 
  world.

  in

  This 
  

   work 
  contains 
  descriptions 
  of 
  upwards 
  of 
  a 
  hundred 
  species, 
  and 
  is 
  

   remarkable 
  as 
  referring 
  solely 
  to 
  the 
  Micro-Lepidoptera 
  of 
  a 
  country 
  

   of 
  which 
  I 
  may 
  truly 
  say 
  we 
  were 
  previously 
  quite 
  uninformed.

  I 
  trust, 
  be 
  understood.

  of 
  the 
  insects 
  of 
  which 
  it 
  more 
  espe- 
  

   cially 
  treats, 
  yet 
  it 
  is 
  well 
  worthy

  deep

  thoughtful 
  study 
  of 
  

   every 
  entomologist,

  particularly 
  of
