Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
British insects. It has been penned more from the standpoint of the naturalist, whose interest lies with the structure and habits of living things, than of the systematist, whose chief object is to discover and record their interrelationships. But the naturalist cannot hope to advance far in his pursuit without a working knowledge of classification to guide him. Therefore an attempt has been made to indicate the chief reasons why insects are separated by men of science into groups orders, families, genera, etc. The outline classification printed on page 120 is adopted from Professor G. H. Carpenter, whose articles in the current edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and whose work, Insects :their Structure and Life, may be consulted with advantage by the serious student. Dr. David Sharp stwo volumes on Insects (which form a part of The Cambridge Natural History )should also be read and reread.
