LECTURES ON ENTOMOLOGY. 



We have heretofore, frequently expressed our 

 ! opinion of the importance of Entomology as a sci- 

 I ence, which is intimately connected with the pursuits 

 and interests of the cultivator; and of consequence 

 involving the welfare of the whole community. Every 

 season gives origin to some petty depredator on the 

 fruits of the husbandman's labors, with whose habits 

 and ])ropensities but little is known by those wlio 

 are the immediate sufferers by the devourers who 

 reap where they have not sown, and consume the 

 substance of the farmer, without any equivalent. 

 We are therefore happy to be informed that Dr Si o- 

 RER, of Boston, a gentleman whose talents and taste 

 qualify him for the task, proposes to give lectures on 

 entomology ; comprising the states through which 

 insects pass, and their internal and eVternal anatomy 

 — their metamorphoses — instincts — classification — 

 insects which are advantageous to us, and such as 

 are inconvenient or destructive, &c. 



We have received from the Hon. Ichabod Bart- 

 lett, Corresponding Secretary of the Rockingham 

 Agricultural Society, a copy of a Circular letter ad- 

 dressed to the various towns in that county, stating 

 the objects of the Society, and requesting a more 

 general co-operation. It aboun('s in valuable sug- 

 gestions, and we shall soon enrich the columns of the 

 New England Farmer, by its publication. 



To Correspondents. — We are obliged to defer this 

 week, several valuable communications ; among which 

 are one on the " Influence of Trees on the Atmosphere." 

 on the " Frn.r:inus ornns^ or Flowering Ash," on the 

 " Napoleon Willow," on the " Changes which some 

 shrubs undergo by being transplanted," " Description of 

 a Wild Plum in Geneses, N. Y." &c. which will soon 

 appear. We shall next week publish some extracts from 

 Mr Prince's new treatise on the Vine, which is now in 

 the press. 



Lectures on Entomology. 

 Doctor Storer proposes to deliver a short course of 

 Lectures on Entomology, to such Ladies and Gentlemen 

 as may wish to cultivate a general taste for that science. 

 Tickets may be obtained at the office of the New 

 England Farmer. Notice will be given when the Lec- 

 tures will cominenre. 

 Terms of the Course — 



For a single person, .$3
