Excerpt from A Systematic Catalogue of British Insects: Being an Attempt to Arrange All the Hitherto Discovered Indigenous Insects in Accordance With Their Natural Affinities
With regard to the ms. Names in the following pages, it is of little consequence whether those which I have proposed be adopted or not; as they will ultimately appear in my Illustrations, unless the species to which they are applied should be described by others in the interim. It is sufficient for my purpose to have pointed out the new Species, and the divisions (by whatever names caprice or convenience may please to term them), and to have retained all such as could satisfactorily be identified, which have been imposed by others; notonly in justice to their authors, but as I do not choose wilfully to create additional inconvenience by applying new. Ones for the mere purpose of securing the paltry fame dependent upon mere priority of nomenclature.
