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.

She was born at Sedbury Park, Gloucestershire, on the 11th of May 1828. She was a daughter of George Ormerod, F. R. S. , author of The History of Cheshire.
From early childhood insects were her interest and she had great opportunities to study them in the large estate where she grew up. She studied agriculture in general and became a local authority on it. When, in 1868, the Royal Horticultural Society began forming a collection of insect pests of the farm for practical purposes, Ormerod contributed greatly to it, and was awarded the Flora medal of the society.
In 1877 she issued a pamphlet, Notes for Observation of injurious insects, which was distributed among persons interested in this line of inquiry, who readily sent in the results of their researches, and was thus the beginning of the well-known Annual Series of Reports on Injurious Insects and Farm Pests.
In 1881 Miss Ormerod published a special report upon the " turnip-fly, " and in 1882 was appointed consulting entomologist to the Royal Agricultural Society, a post she held until 1892.
For several years she was lecturer on scientific entomology at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. Her fame was not confined to England: she received silver and gold medals from the university of Moscow for her models of insects injurious to plants, and her treatise on The Injurious Insects of South Africa showed how wide was her range.
Among others of her works are the Cobden Journals, Manual of Injurious Insects, and Handbook of Insects injurious to Orchard and Bush Fruits. Almost the last honour which fell to her was the honorary degree of LL. D. of Edinburgh University-a unique distinction, for she was the first woman upon whom the university had conferred this degree.
She died at St Albans on the 19th of July 1901.

She was a member of the Royal Agricultural Society.
Quotes from others about the person
The dean of the legal faculty in making the presentation aptly summoned up Miss Ormerod's services as follows: " The preeminent position which Miss Ormerod holds in the world of science is the reward of patient study and unwearying observation.
Her investigations have been chiefly directed towards the discovery of methods for the prevention of the ravages of those insects which are injurious to orchard, field and forest.
Her labours have been crowned with such success that she is entitled to be hailed the protectress of agriculture and the fruits of the earth-a beneficent Demeter of the 19th century. "
