Entomological Magazine. These were republished in an 
8vo volume in 1849, but the name of the author was for 
many years kept a secret. It has long been known, however, 
that they were the work of Newman, although he gleaned 
much of the information from his friend Waring Kidd, of 
Hatch, and was also assisted by J. D. Salmon. Newman 
appears to have removed in 1826 to Deptford, where he went 
into the rope business. He made early friends among 
scientific men such as Doubleday, Bowerbank, and Walker, 
most of which friendships lasted for life. He was a frequent 
contributor to the natural history journals, and in 1840 
became editor of the Entomologist , which temporarily came 
to an end in 1842, the Zoologist being commenced in June 
1843. In 1858 he became natural history editor of the 
* Field , a post he held until his death. 
Ail this time he was busy with a variety of books, including 
Sphinx Vespiformis (1832), Grammar of Entomology (1835), 
History of Ferns (1840), Birds-nesting (1861), New Edition of 
Montagu's Ornithological Dictionary (1866), Natural History 
of British Moths (1869), and Natural History of British Butter- 
flies (1871). In 1840 he started in business as a printer at 
9 Devonshire Street, Bishopsgate, E.C., and only retired from 
the printing trade in 1870. He died, June 12, 1876, in his 
seventy-sixth year.
