Kellogg, Vernon. American insects. [**]$5. Holt.
“This volume aims to provide a general, systematic account of the principal insect families as they exist in America, written with the greatest regard for scientific accuracy and thoroughness, but in such a way as to interest the average intelligent reader. A chapter on ‘Insects and disease,’ giving an account of the researches which have determined beyond any question the part played by mosquitoes in the spread of malaria and yellow fever, is of special timeliness just now.”—Outlook.
“We have in this simple volume a whole library of insect lore, brought into convenient compass, abundantly illustrated and clearly printed.”

“Readable and profusely illustrated, it gives a great amount of information about the insects of this country, in such a manner that it is available to any intelligent person. With all its merits, Prof. Kellogg’s book is a little too much of a compilation to be ideally satisfactory.” T. D. A. Cockerell.

“It seems that nothing needed to make this a complete guide to the study of our American insects has been omitted. The style of the book is in general popular and adapted to the average intelligent reader.”
