Excerpt from Indian Insect Pests

As Mr. Lefroy has written this book largely at my instance, I wish to attach a few words in order to explain its scope. It is not a scientific treatise on Entomology, written for the use and training of Entomologists, but is intended to serve the more humble but useful purpose of a manual of practical information for the use of the intelligent agriculturist in the protection of his crops from insect pests. It is also hoped that it will be suitable as a text-book for use in Agricultural Schools and Colleges, all of whose students should acquire a working knowledge of insect pests and of the practical measures possible for the protection of crops. With these objects in view, the author has avoided, wherever possible, scientific terminology, using simple English equivalents which can easily be understood by persons with no scientific training in Entomology.

The information available for a book of even this limited scope is very far from complete. A good deal of work has been done in the past for Systematic Entomology in the collection and classification of some groups of Indian insects, more particularly the Butterflies, but it is only within the past few years that any real inquiry has been made into Economic Entomology, dealing with insect pests and their treatment.
