POPULAR BRITISH ENTOMOLOGY,
Comprising a familiar and technical description of the Insects most common to the British Isles.
By MARIA E. CATLOW.
The author of the present work is tempted by the success attending the POPULAR FIELD BOTANY of her sister,
to publish a manual of her own pursuit, Entomology, comprising chiefly the natural history of the British Butterflies,
Moths, and Beetles, in the same easy style, and illustrated in like manner by figures of the typical species.
The Unfits of the work will necessarily include only a portion of the number of species indigenous to this
country, but, in cases where they are too numerous to mention, the information is so applied to the group, as to
enable the young Entomologist to repair with confidence, to more voluminous and expensive works.
