ENTITLED 
A FAMILIAR INTRODUCTION to the HISTORY of INSECTS. 
8 vo. cloth, 12s. 
“ The work throughout is clearly written, in many parts with ani¬ 
mation and spirit—the result of an active mind distinctly perceiving 
what it intends to convey.”— Spectator , May 29, 1841. 
“ A volume which is likely to be very serviceable to the beginner. 
It is very carefully illustrated by numerous and well-executed wood 
engravings.”— Morning Herald , June 19, 1841. 
“ This volume, one of the best familiar introductions to Entomo¬ 
logy we have met with, we recommend to those desirous of acquiring 
accurate elementary information on the history, general physiology, 
classification, and mode of preserving insects.”— Professor Jameson's 
Journal , October , 1841. 
“We have here a complete popular treatise. It is a kind of first 
book on Entomology, but may answer every purpose to nine-tenths 
of students.”— Tait's Edinburgh Magazine , June , 1841. 
“ A very acceptable mixture of the dulce et utile. Mr. Newman 
does not take too much knowledge for granted, but, beginning at the 
beginning, fairly illustrates his subject. We cordially recommend his 
volume not only to entomological students, but to all lovers of animate 
Nature.”— Literary Gazette, June 12, 1841. 
a The charm of this volume is, that it is written in a frank and 
explanatory spirit, which will be quite as intelligible and as captivating 
to a child as to a man. There are no mysteries of science buried 
under ominous italics in its pages. Every definition is full—nothing 
is taken as granted—we are carried into the field of inquiry as if we 
had never heard of it before ; and it is our fault, and not that of the 
writer, if we do not understand enough about Entomology, when we 
have closed the book, to tempt us to realize some further acquisitions 
for ourselves. The secret of all this consists in the simple but very 
important principle upon which the author has composed this treatise. 
He has presumed, at starting, that his readers know nothing what¬ 
ever of the subject, and he has w*ritten accordingly. There is no 
doubt that this is the proper way of writing introductions. It is the 
only way to make them achieve with complete success the end for 
which they are designed.”— Atlas , August 14, 1841.
