Excerpt from The Entomologist's Text Book: An Introduction to the Natural History, Structure, Physiology and Classification of Insects, Including the Crustacea and Arachnida
In te-publishing these various articles, I have met with one difficulty, for which I hope due allowance will be made by the reader. In an Encyclopaedia, the most ample, and generally the most interesting details, are confined to those articles treating of genera and species, to which constant reference is made for the illustration of the more general articles. I have endeavoured, in some degree, to make up for this deficiency, by the introduction of the various orders of insects.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Text Book: An Introduction to the Natural History, Structure, Physiology and Classification of Insects, Including the Crustacea and Arachnida
It has ever been my wish to instil into the minds of those who feel an interest in the science, the idea that the mere collecting of spe. Cimens, or of attempting their classification, could not be compared, in an intellectual point of view, or with reference to the amount of pleasure derivable from the subject, with the investigation of habits of the animals, and the variations in their structures depen dent thereon. To those conversant with Entomological Literature, it was evident that there existed the want of a work like the pre sent, which should convey the modern elements of the science in as popular a form as possible; and it appeared to me, that this work might be so written, as to be the means of extending this leading principle of philosophical zoology.
