Description

Excerpt from The Butterfly Book: A Popular Guide to a Knowledge Edge of the Butterflies of North America If I shall succeed in this book in creating a more wide-spread interest in the world of insect life and thereby diverting attention in a measure from the persecuted birds, which I love, but which are in many species threatened with extinction by the too eager attentions which they are receiving from young naturalists, who are going forth in increased numbers with shot-gun in hand, I think I Shall render a good service to the country. I flatter myself that l have possessed peculiar facilities for the successful accomplishment of the undertaking l have proposed to myself, because of the possession of what is admitted to be un doubtedly the largest and most perfect collection of the butterflies of North America in existence, containing the types of W. H. Ed wards, and many of those of other authors. 1 have also enjoyed access to all the other great collections of this country and Europe, and have had at my elbow the entire literature relating to the subject.
