Abstract
IT must be confessed that our American brethren are inclined in the present day to advance in the study of natural history, as in everything else. We can call to mind a dozen or more thriving institutions for the advancement of Science, especially natural history, in various towns in the United States, some of the names of which are hardly known to us, except by their scientific publications.
A Guide to the Study of Insects and a Treatise on those Injurious and Beneficial to Crops: for the Use of Colleges, Farm-Schools and Agriculturists.
By A. J. Packard Jun.. With upwards of 500 Engravings, Parts I.-VIII (Salem: published by the Essex Institute, 1868–69. London: Trübner and Co.)
