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

 matum of perfection," is still the standard work on the Genera of British In- 

 sects. 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 originally published was £43. 16s.
