 OPINIONS of the press. 

 •'The author has such a happy knack of popularizing his subject, so facile in saying a plain thing 

 in a plain way, so clear in his instruction. 1 ), so hearty and enthusiastic in his work, that any one would 

 wish himself an ignoramus again to have the pleasure of such a teacher." — Science Gossip. . 



"The description of the various ways in which human astuteness manages to set at nought tha 

 efforts of instinct for self-preservation cannot, we think, be without interest." — City Press. 



"Although professedly written for the assistance of youth ; children of a larger growth, in whom 

 t!ie taste has developed into a study will find an inexhaustible field of instruction in its pages." — Observer* 



" Dr. Knascs has put together a multitude of notes, the result of years of observation and experience, 

 and such'us could never havo been prepared by any mere compiler." — Scientific Opinion. 



" Codes nf instructions for beginners in the most popular department of practical Entomology 

 exist in abundance; but we have never met with one so complete and comprehensive as this one of 

 Or. Knaggs's." — The Hock.
