" Curtis's Entomology," which Cuvier pronounced to have " reached 

 the ultimatum of perfection," is still the standard work on the 

 Genera of British Insects. The Figures executed by the author 

 himself, with wonderful minuteness and accuracy, have never been 

 surpassed, even if equalled. The price at which the work was origi- 

 nally published was £43 16^.
