An Introduction to Entomology: Vol. 1
William Kirby and William Spence
Kirby and Spence turned insects into literature. This first volume of their famous introduction opens the six-legged world through friendly letters: the injuries and benefits insects bring, their place among us, and the wonder of their sheer numbers. The book that made entomology a gentleman's passion. Begin the series that taught England to love its insects.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
