Excerpt from An Introduction to Entomology, Vol. 3 of 4: Or Elements of the Natural History of Insects; With Plates

The publication of the concluding volumes of the Introduction to Entomology has been un avoidably delayed by the continued ill health 'of one of the authors, which has devolved upon the other a considerable increase of labour, and de manded a greater expenditure of time than would otherwise have been required: for though Mr. Spence put every facility in Mr. Kirby's power, and had drawn up a rough copy of every Letter belonging, to his department; yet, as most of them had been written several years ago, many curious-facts, and a great variety of interesting information subsequently derived from various sources, -were necessarily to be inserted, and the whole to be prepared for the press.
