Book Description

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 25 Vol. Xxv has extended to a somewhat inconvenient bulk, necessitated by the resolve to commence each Vol. Of the Second Series in January, and to end it in December. This has been repeatedly urged upon us. The two Editors who took part at the inauguration of the Magazine in 1864, and who still remain On the staff, have no reason to regret the result of their endeavours to further, through its pages, the cause of Entomology during the period that has since elapsed. Those of the Editors who have joined 'at subsequent periods share this feeling. The fact of a Magazine devoted to Entomology, conducted absolutely on non-commercial principles, existing for more than 25 years, is probably unique in the annals of Natural History journalism. The Editors ask the present supporters to continue their aid, and to induce others to supplement it on the occasion of what will be practically a new departure, by their endeavours to further the sale of a journal which has been, and will continue to be, a labour Of love.
