This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(Excerpt from Insects: Their Structure Life; A Primer of E...)
Excerpt from Insects: Their Structure Life; A Primer of Entomology Not one, even of the many books made in these days, is likely to be thought superfluous by its author. And in spite of - to a great extent indeed because of - the thousand and more original works on Insects now published yearly, it seems that the student has need of a small inexpensive, English book, sketching in outline the whole subject of entomology. Such a volume as this is necessarily for the most part a compilation. To save space, the names of authorities are not mentioned in the text; but reference figures in heavy type call attention to the bibliography at the end of the book, where a list of works consulted by the author, or likely to be of special use to the student, will be found. Particular acknowledgment, however, is due to Professors Miall and Denny, whose admirable monograph on the Cockroach has been largely used in the opening chapter; to Professor A. S. Packard, whose recent Text-book has been invaluable both as a store of facts and a guide to the literature; and to Dr D. Sharp, whose contribution to the "Cambridge Natural History," has been especially useful in preparing the systematic part of this book.
