by M. Lesson, who is himself the author of two. The 
prince of Musignano has more recently given the out- 
lines of another, and we know not how many have been 
lately drawn up by the writers of Germany. 
(239.) Of partial systems, restricted to entomology, 
that of the celebrated baron De Geer must be first men- 
tioned ; not only because of its priority, but because 
it approaches most nearly to that of Aristotle and 
Linneus of any in modern times. The following ex- 
position of the orders will show how nearly the views of 
this great man coincided with those of his two illus- 
trious predecessors. De Geer at once perceived the 
typical peculiarity of the class Insecta to consist in their 
being winged ; and he, accordingly, sets out with di- 
viding the whole into two primary groups: but let us 
look to the annexed table for the details :—
