Abstract
ANY boy who may wish to form a collection of insects will find in this little hand-book all the information he will be likely to need at first for his guidance. The author does not pretend to go deeply into the subject, but he has brought together a sufficient number of facts to show beginners that the study of entomology will well reward any labour that may be devoted to it. His explanations are simple and clear, and the value of the manual is much increased by a large number of good illustrations.
The Young Collector's Hand-book of Ants, Bees, Dragon-Flies, Earwigs, Crickets, and Flies.
