Third Edition First Illustrated. 237 x 152 mm. 9 1/4 x 6". xi 1 640 pp. <br/> Publisher's brown cloth decorated in gilt and blind upper cover with oval ornament composed of insects and vegetation smooth spine with gilt titling. With numerous black & white illustrations in the text five of these full-page and EIGHT COLOR PLATES depicting a total of 107 insects. Front pastedown with blank engraved award certificate for a county fair exhibition in the 1860s. Sabin 30524. One corner gently bumped gilt lettering on spine a little discolored occasional faint offsetting but A VERY FINE COPY WITH NO SIGNS OF USE and few signs of age.<br/> <br/> Written by a Harvard librarian and leading American entomologist this is an outstanding copy of one of the most important treatises on pest control in agriculture printed in the 19th century. Thaddeus William Harris 1795-1856 trained as a medical doctor but gave up the profession to become librarian at Harvard University where he introduced one of the first card catalogue systems and increased the University's holdings from 30000 to 65000 over the course of his tenure. Though diligent in this work Harris' real passion was for entomology; his spare time was devoted to the study of insects and he eventually acquired nearly 10000 specimens--in its day a collection considered the finest in the United States. Sometimes overshadowed by contemporaries like naturalist Asa Grey who was given a Harvard professorship over Harris and fellow entomologist Thomas Say Harris' work was nonetheless pivotal in the development of the study of insects and he was deemed "the greatest entomologist in the world" by the brilliant zoologist and fellow Harvardian Louis Agassiz. The present work first appeared in a report for the Massachusetts Commission on the Zoological and Botanical Survey in 1841 and printed separately in 1842 under the title "A Treatise on Some of the Insects of New England Which Are Injurious to Vegetation." Eschewing language that was too technical Harris' writing is notable for the straightforward easy to follow descriptions that would have appealed to an audience outside the ivory tower. According to ANB "Harris' reputation rests largely on this work and through its influence he is credited with founding practical or economic entomology emphasizing the control of insect pests in the United States. At the end of the century it still was considered an essential manual for entomologists of the Northeast." This third edition introduces several lovely hand-colored plates enriching the text and offering a distinct advantage over earlier editions. Ours is as clean and attractive a copy as one can hope to find with none of the wear one usually finds on publisher's bindings of this period. William White unknown

1994EN-44Portland OR.: Timber Press 1994. Comprehensive text presents "a global view of the insect groups that are of major significance to human resources." Many other volumes on insects restrict coverage to a single country or region or to the tropics or temperate zones. Adopting a global approach the author emphasizes the similarities and important differences among pests of the major continents thus "bringing attention to insect species that might spread as pests to new geographical areas." The objective of the book is "to look at the Class Insecta and some Arachnida systematically and to indicate which are pest species and which are beneficial." The major emphasis is on crop pests but some veterinary forestry ornamental plant and selected medical pests are included. 635 pgs. Illustrated. Dustjacket in mylar. First Edition. Hard Cover.
