rpHE LEPIDOPTEEIST'S GUIDE, for the use of the Young 

 - 1 - Collector; by H. Guard Knaggs, M.D., F.L.S. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" A multum in parvo of Entomological hints and instructions."— Popular Science Review. 



"This is a very comprehensive and compact guide for the study of butterflies and moths, and with 

 but few changes would answer for the use of collectors in this country. We advise every Lepidopterist 

 to provide himself with a copy." — American Naturalist. 



"The work is one of the most exhaustive character, and is exceedingly well-arranged for practical 

 use. * * * Although really a working book it is written in a most pleasant manner, and the enthu- 

 siasm of the author is sometimes very amusing."- The Field. 



" Prom being a book of instructions some may think that it must be a pretty dry sort of affair 



like, for instance, the drill books at the Military Schools— but we can assure them it is quite the reverse, 

 being really most interesting and amusing; some parts of it would even entertain the only too numerous 

 individuals who do not know a bug from a butterfly."— Canadian Entomologist. 



" We only wish there had been such a book when we first commenced Entomology. The young 

 Entomologists of this generation who can get the best help to be had for a few pence have a great 

 deal to answer for ; let us hope that their contributions to Science will be in proportion to their 

 advantages." — Record. 



"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 instructions, 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 the 

 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 

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



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

 and such as could never have been prepared by any mere compiler." — Scientific Opinion. 



" Codes of 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 

 Dr. Knaggs's." — The Rock. 



" It is written by a master hand, and is full of most valuable and practical suggestions." — 

 Journal of the Folkestone TV. B. Society. 



" The ' Lepidopterist's Guide,' as this little book is called, is one of the best and most attractive 

 we have ever seen." — The. People's Weekly Journal.
