We now come to the ‘Régne Animal, by Cuvier and Latreille, 
a work that never has lost, and probably never will lose, its 
authority in the world of naturalists; and here we find the mixed 
system, the double-entry system, carefully carried out, and a classi- 
fication is proposed, the principles of which have more or less 
permeated every system that has succeeded. The learned authors 
have, however, been unable wholly to emerge from under the shadow 
of authority into the clear sunshine of Nature, and although mani- 
fest improvement appears in the detail, Machaon still leads the 
van, and the gentlemen in yellow liveries and white liveries follow 
in approved succession.
