Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Animal Kingdom, Arranged According to Its Organization, Vol. 3 of 4: Serving as a Foundation for the Natural History of Animals, and an Introduction to Comparative Anatomy Perhaps the desire of associating my name with his in a work like this, which, by the multitude of researches on which it rests, and by their application, has become a precious literary monument of the age, has deceived me, and thrown me into an enterprize beyond my powers to accomplish. The responsibility is great, and I have im posed upon myself a task, in which the boldness of the plan is only equalled by the difficulty of its execution. To unite within a very limited space the most interesting facts in the history of Insects, to arrange them with precision and clearness in a natural series, to pour tray with a bold pencil the physiognomy of these animals, trace their distinguishing characters with truth and brevity, in a way propor tioned to the successive progress of the science and that of the pupil, to indicate useful or noxious species, and those whose mode of life interests our curiosity, to point out the best sources from which the knowledge of others may be obtained, to restore to Entomology the amiable simplicity which it possessed in the days of Linnaeus, Geofi'roy, and of the early writings of Fabricius, but still to present it as it now is, or with all the wealth of observation it has since acquired, yet without overloading it; in a word, to conform to the model before me, the work of M. Cuvier, is the end I have striven to attain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
