Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Farm Insects; Being the Natural History and Economy of the Insects Injurious to the Field Crops of Great Britain and Ireland, and Also Those Which Infest Barns and Granaries: With Suggestions for Their Destruction
To augment his produce has ever been the laudable object of the farmer, and my endeavour will be to supply him with such information as may tend to show him how to diminish his losses, by directing his attention to the general economy of such insects as are likely to injure his crops. It cannot be expected that success will at once attend our efforts but it may be hoped that, the data once ascertained, and facts correctly recorded, good results will soon follow from the dissemination of sound practical knowledge. Valuable information, it is hoped, will at least be afforded to those who thirst after knowledge; and rational amusement provided for amateur agriculturists and 'men of leisure who possess any taste for natural history.
