Excerpt from A Text-Book of Agricultural Entomology: Being a Guide to Methods of Insect Life and Means of Prevention of Insect Ravage, For the Use of Agriculturists and Agricultural Students The first edition of this little volume consisted of ten lectures delivered in 1883 at the Institute of Agriculture of South Kensington, in compliance with the request of the Director that I would prepare some simple and plain information regarding the methods of life of crop insects, and means of prevention of their ravages, such as might be of service to school teachers. At that time there appeared to he but little call for such a compilation, but I complied with the request in the hope that the work might be useful for farm service, and that in its published form it might he carried to the field, or taken up at an odd minute, and give a little information without burdening the reader with a need of looking elsewhere for explanations.
