BHL Book of the Month – The Entomologist


Then Entomologist, Volume 10, 1877
Originally uploaded by Smithsonian Libraries

Fancy a bit of poetry with your entomology? In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the British journal The Entomologist began each volume with a sampling of verses related to nature. In this page from Volume 10 (1877), a passage from the Bible is quoted alongside the work of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.—Erin Clements Rushing
