The Entomologist. An Illustrated Journal of General Entomology. Volume 31.
1898 xv, 304 p., 2 pls, orange-red embossed and decorated cloth. Ex libris (bookplate) & library stamps.
The American entomologist: an illustrated magazine of popular and practical entomology. Volumes 1-2.
1868-1880 Two volumes in one. 252, viii, 384 p., 1 lithographed portrait (of Benjamin D. Walsh), 1 chromolithographed frontispiece (of the royal horned caterpillar and moth), numerous text figures, 4to, contemporary half calf.Edited by B.D. Walsh and C.V. Riley. One of the first American journals on economic entomology, founded by Benjamin Dann Walsh (1808-1869). "Walsh was both a pioneer in entomology and the only entomologist of his and Darwin's generation to support and contribute to Darwin's revolutionary theory of species origin" (C. A. Sheppard, Ann. Rev. Ent 49, 2003). From volume 2 no. 6, the journal was renamed: "The American Entomologist and Botanist: an illustrated magazine of popular and practical entomology and botany", because "The two sciences of Entomology and Botany go hand-in-hand". After the death of Walsh, editorship of volume 2 was by Charles V. Riley and George Vasey. This journal is particularly interesting because it shows which insects and insect-related plant diseases attracted the attention of mid-19th century farmers and horticulturists. On p. 241 of vol. 2 we read about a devastating bee disease, and there are also notes on the advance of introduced insects, etc. Binding shaky, backstrip missing, plates and text, however, in very good condition. Horn-Schenkling II(V), 6.
The practical Entomologist. Volume II.
1866-1867 122, iv p., several illustrations, 4to, contemporary pebbled boards. Gilt title on spine. This is the complete second volume, including a loose leaf printed addition/correction note. The first issue of this monthly (published in 1865) was subtitled "Published...for gratuitous distribution among farmers and agriculturists. Remaining, to a large extent, a philantropical publication it folded after two volumes because of lack of funds. With the autograph of the entomologist Osten Sacken and an old stamp in the first page top margin. Spine missing. Internally a good copy. Rare.
