The Lord Chancellor. — What proportion does the 

 pirated part bear to the rest of the work ? 



Sir Edward Sugden. — It is a piracy throughout, from 

 beginning to end. 



The Lord Chancellor, on looking at the book, said that 

 the author strongly recommended the plaintiff's book. 



Sir Edward Sugden. — He does, my Lord ; no one under- 

 stands the value of it better than he does. 



The Lord Chancellor said, that he should doubt whether 

 the two works were addressed to the same class of persons. 

 The plaintiff's seemed to be intended more for scientific per- 

 sons, who could afford to pay 1/. 11*. 6d. for it; but the 

 other was more for popular sale : and he much doubted whether 

 it would interfere with the plaintiff's book. They might, 

 however, take the injunction at present ; but he was sure they 

 would hear more about it. 



[We think, in such a case as this, Entomologists should raise 

 a subscription to enable Mr. Stephens to carry on his cause with

 years' patient investigation and dear-bought experience, should 

 the defendants succeed in removing the injunction? — Ed.] 



9. Magazine of NaturalHistory. — This excellent work has 

 lately been rich in entomological articles of great interest. 

 The April number has a detail of captures by Mr. Dale, 

 another by Mr. Davis, and a record of a most singular disco- 

 very of a hyperparasitical insect by Mr. Newman. In May, 

 we have a notice of remarkable entomological forms by Mr. 

 Westwood, some of which are strange in the extreme ; the 

 engraver of the figures has not conveyed the idea of Mormo- 

 lyce ; there is no separating line on the elytra as represented. 

 The other cuts represent very tolerably the insects for which 

 they are intended; the Greek derivations are ludicrously in- 

 correct ; some of these we see Mr. Westwood has since recti- 

 fied. The Rev. W. T. Bree has three excellent articles in this 

 number ; in one of which, a review of " Insect Miscellanies," 

 he points out in the most gentlemanly manner the deplorable 

 ignorance of its author : we give a shrewd guess who that 

 author may be, and though we fear he is beyond the reach 

 of Mr. Bree's refined criticisms, we hail with delight the
