Excerpt from The Grammar of Entomology In accordance with these views, the Author has written the following pages; he supposes his reader utterly ignorant of Entomology, and endeavours to show him that it is the History of Insects, and the Physiology of Insects, and the Classification of Insects, and the Art of Preserving Insects: he does not address himself to the professed entomologist; to such this work will be of little value.
