Synopsis
Excerpt from Monograph of the British Aphides, Vol. 4
ON introducing this concluding volume to the reader, I tender my sincere thanks to the Members of the Council of the Ray Society for undertaking the publication of my Monograph, and for the courtesy which they have shown me in fulfilling my Wishes as to the form it should assume.
Prof. Helmholtz well remarks that The materials of a monograph must be united by a logical process; and the first step is to connect like with like, and to elaborate a general conception embracing them all. Again, elsewhere, A digest or catalogue may be likened to a good lexicon; with which almost a tyro of the present day can achieve results in the interpretation of the classics, which an Erasmus, with the erudition of a lifetime, could hardly attain.
