Excerpt from The Entomological Magazine, Vol. 5 The entomological magazine is ended - In offering to the public the Fifth and last Volume, and at the same time bidding my readers farewell for ever, I have thought it desir able to relinquish the editorial plural, and address my brother entomologists in the more egotistical but less assuming singular. Whether this work has or has not accomplished its proposed object, - the advancement of entomology, - whether it has been conducted well or ill, is for my readers to determine. Of its merits or demerits its avowed Editor cannot speak. In the pages of the volumes before me many papers occur which seem to require a few comments. I will make these comments as concise as possible. I am well aware how irk some is the reading of Prefaces, and that the only merit they can by chance possess is brevity.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine: Vol; 5-6 AT the conclusion of the fifth volume, we beg to express our thanks to our supporters, to whom is due the steadily increasing useful ness of the Magazine hoping also that the termination of a second lustrum will find us enjoying then, as now, the same amicable relations with them, and the same unity of purpose amongst ourselves with the satisfaction of knowing that, in having constantly held in view the advancement of Entomology, we have maintained an independence of party feeling, the entertainment of which, even in the slightest degree, is fatal to scientific progress, and a thing to be eschewed by all true naturalists. We regret exceedingly that for many numbers of this volume we were unable, through extreme pressure, to give prompt attention to many important communications, and this notwithstanding the issue of several enlarged numbers: our correspondents will please bear in mind that our constant aim is to clear ofi' accumulations of materials as soon as possible. In answer to enquiries as to the financial condition of the under taking, we simply say that experience seems to prove that each volume recoups its expenses (and nearly exhausts our present limited impression) in about four years, a result we had scarcely hoped for at our commencement, and which gives an additional guarantee for a long existence.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 12 In the December number of vol. Xxxiv (1898) of this Magazine, Mr. Champion published an account of the additions, &c., to our list during 1898, and as several novelties have been recorded during the past two years, and disputed points in the synonymy of others have been cleared up, it appears advisable to summarize them into one article.

Excerpt from The Entomological Magazine, 1837, Vol. 4 WE are sure that we cannot preface the Fourth Volume Of the Entomological Magazine with any thing half SO agreeable to the Entomologists of Great Britain as the information embodied in the foregoing Minutes. We never felt a more unmixed pleasure than we now experience in publishing a series Of Resolutions which, we proudly feel, do honour to the little Association from which they emanate; and, at the same time, must contribute effectually and permanently to the advancement of the science Of Entomology.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, 1894, Vol. 5 We are anxious to keep British entomologists in touch with those of similar tastes in various parts of the world. We do not think this is best done by publishing articles on work done, or descriptions of species from distant parts of the world these must be studied by the specialist who will buy the books he needs. But among the large amount of material which passes through our hands (and for the purpose of en larging our knowledge of what is being done in different parts of the world, and thus giving ourselves a broader view of the subject, we exchange with all foreign magazines that will exchange with us), there are often articles or books which contain information with which the British collector should be acquainted. These we discuss as occasion demands from our own British standpoint, and we feel satisfied that in so doing, we interest all our readers. Glowing accounts of how to catch Purple Emperors and Jersey Tigers may interest us occasionally, but we cannot continually get up an excitement on such subjects. One other matter we would mention, and in this we ask for the aid of all right-thinking entomologists. Britishers have been described as peculiar in their tastes and insular in their habits, with regard to matters entomological, and not without good reason. We have no sympathy with the man who prefers to remain ignorant because he is afraid to have foreign insects in his possession for comparison with British, lest he should be thought a cheat. Those men who study entomology as a science are well-known; they are above suspicion. At the same time, our insular prejudices have placed a high (if artificial) money value on rare and local British species. Why should they not have this value if they are thought worth it? That this is the case is proved by the fact that the value is fixed in British sale-rooms. But this artificial money value has led often to wholesale fraud, and we shall continue to protect our science by exposing such fraud wherever we find it existent, not so much from a sympathy with the victims, who sometimes appear to be pleased when victimised and extremely cross when a dirty piece of work is exposed, but on account of the fact that the introduction of foreign specimens as British, falsifies the data on which our scientific work is based, and disseminates error where we want to disseminate truth. Ignorance and error are the two greatest enemies of Science. Science is the well of absolute truth - all her devotees must seek to drink from'it.
