Excerpt from American Insects IF man were not the dominant anirnal in the world, this would be the Age of Insects. Outnumbering in kinds the members of all other groups of animals combined, and showing a wealth of individuals and a degree of prolificness excelled only'by the fishes among larger animals, and among smaller animals by the Protozoa, the insects have an indisputable claim on the attention of students of natural history by sheer force of numbers. But their claim to our interest rests on securer ground. Their immediate and important relation to man as enemies of his crops, and, as we have come to know only to-day, as it were, as a grim menace to his own' health and life this capacity of insects to destroy annually hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of grains and fruits and vegetables, and to be solely responsible for the dissemination of some of the most serious diseases that make man to suffer and die, forces our attention whether we will or not. Finally, the amazing variety and specialization of habit and appearance, the extraor dinary adaptations and shifts for a living which insects show, make a claim on the attention of all who harbor the smallest trace of that scientific curiosity which leads men to observe and ponder the ways and seeming of Nature. Some of the most attractive and important problems which modern biological study is attacking, such as the significance of color and pattern, the reality of mechanism and automatism in the action and behavior of animals as contrasted with intelligent and discriminating performances, the statistical and experimental study of variation and heredity, and other sub jects of present-day biological investigation, are finding their most available material and data among the insects.

Excerpt from Key to the Families of North American Insects: An Introduction to the Classification of Insects More than fifty thousand different species of insects are now known from North America. Their descriptions fill libraries and their final identification requires the knowledge of specialists. Obviously no single volume can provide for their determination. But this host of species is divided into groups of related forms, the families of insects, and it is with their recognition that the present work deals. Identification of the families has been effected by means of analytical keys, which have been arranged as dichotomies. In the first couplet, for example, two contrasting descriptions are given, one of which should agree with the insect to be determined. The number at the end of this description indicates the couplet which should then be studied, and so on until the final name is secured. All of the keys have been arranged in this way, as the writers' experience in the classroom shows that specimens can be most easily and rapidly classified with a key of this type, which also requires much less space for printing. While the dichotomies frequently represent the natural relationships or the lines of phyletic development, no attempt has been made to preserve natural divisions wherever the convenience and practical Opera tion of the keys would have been sacrificed.

Excerpt from The Life of North American Insects: Illustrated by Numerous Colored Engravings and Narratives Soon after his return to London, he became acquainted with the celebrated Dr. Sydenham, in whose family he became domesticated, and was by him introduced to professional practice. On the 26th November, 1684, he was preposed by Dr. Martin Lister as a candidate for the Royal Society, of which he was elected a member on the 2lst of January following. From this time he became a regular attendant on and frequent contributor to the Society. On the 12th of April, 1687, he was chosen a Fellow of the College of Physicians. Flattering as were his prospects at home at this period, he did not hesitate to accept an appointment abroad, which promised to afford him the means of enlarging his knowledge of Natural History and Medicine.

Excerpt from The Life of North American Insects: With Numerous Illustrations, From Specimens in the Cabinet of the Author Now, although we have a great number of learned men in our country who have distinguished them selves in the different branches of Natural History, still few works have been published on the subject. Much credit is due to Professor Godman for his excel lent work Ou American Mammalia, which has been augmented by the late publications of Audubon; also to Wilson, Lucien Bonaparte, and Audubon, who, in their splendid works, have minutely described the North American Birds; as well as to Professor Hol brook for his work on North American Reptiles. Still, in spite of all this, we have no general work on North American Insects, except a few numbers of the American Entomology, by Thomas Say; Major Leconte's Iconography of some genera of Butterflies; and Dr. Harris's elaborate report on the injurious Tu sects Of Massachusetts.

Excerpt from The Insect Book: A Popular Account of the Bees, Wasps, Ants, Grasshoppers, Flies, and Other North American Insects Exclusive of the Butterflies Moths and Beetles, With Full Life Histories; Tables and Bibliographies Persons who love nature are apt to be long-lived and their lives are apt to be happy ones. In this country until quite recently few people have realized this fact, and while notably with the Germans, and to a lesser extent with other European nations, we find a love of nature fostered through early childhood, and while there are people of all countries and all occupations who know much about the animals and plants which surround them, and many who make collections and study certain groups as a fad or pastime and as a relief from the daily drudgery of life, in the United States little attention has been paid to nature study in the school and in the family until within the past few years. It is true that there have been Americans who were born naturalists and who have pursued their studies in spite of uncongenial surroundings. It is true, too, that almost every country boy is a close observer in his own untrained way, and that he picks up many interesting facts about his natural history environment. But even the youngster of decided tastes has been too often discouraged by his parents, and, further than that, he has few books to help him and stimulate him in the occupation to which his tastes direct him. Recently, however, a great, nature study movement has sprung up amongst us and in this movement the study of insects must play an important part. They are the most easily observed of living creatures. They abound everywhere - in the fields and woods, in the door-yards, and, unfortunately, even in the household. Subjects for observation are never lacking, and although some prejudice exists against them as insignificant crawling creatures and in large part nuisances and pests from a human standpoint, yet their structure is wonderful, their life histories are most interesting, and among them may be found a wealth of material for the study of broad life problems of the utmost biological importance.
