THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
and the hitherto solitary student is thus 
drawn, from the seclusion of his study, 
to the position which his intellectual 
merit claims, and his collected know- 
ledge is diffused, through its ‘ Trans- 
actions,’ and received into the scientific 
world, to be registered according to its 
deserts. 
“ Another great advantage is col- 
lecting together objects of Natural His- 
tory, so that, not only can the student 
have access to the archives, but also to 
preserved specimens. 
“A third and most useful advantage 
is the influence a body of scientific men 
must have upon their fellow men : their 
equals in education and family position 
are gradually, by sympathy, led step by 
step into the pursuit, and, when once 
their tastes are indulged, there is little 
fear their hearts will again be mute to 
the whispering voice of Nature. 
“ But over our humbler fellow crea- 
tures the influence is much stronger; 
they are invited to join, and to become 
associates, free of all expense. The 
natural feeling of pride inherent in 
every bosom, awakens new sympathies, 
new sensations ; first, from an idle cu- 
riosity, gazing ou the various specimens 
collected together, his observations soon 
give a bias to his tastes and feelings, 
and his mind once enlisted, he seeks out 
the channel wherein to indulge his new 
pursuit.” 
We trust this new Natural History 
Society will be found to answer the 
wishes of its promoters.
