. A manual of injurious insects with methods of prevention and remedy for their attacks to food crops, forest trees, and fruit. To which is appended a short introduction to entomology . art of tlie work,which deals with remedial and preventive measures, I maysay, in the spirit and almost in the words, of my late valuedfriend, Mr. Chalmers Morton, in the Preface to his * Cj-clo-paedia of Agriculture, that this is written by such a largenumber of gentlemen practically conversant with the subjectswhich they severally describe, that I fully trust it may oftenbe found of service in lessening the losses which at present(and often solely for want of having a little plain mformationat hand) add greatly to the burdens which weigh downagricultural prosperity.
