Excerpt from The Coleopterist's Manual, Vol. 2: Containing the Predaceous Land and Water Beetles of Linneus and Fabricius
It should ever be the chief object of writers on Natural History, to make their groups as conform able to nature as possible human systems ever must be artificial and imperfect, indeed it is presumptuous in man to fancy that he can attempt a system uni form with nature in all its bearings. How can a finite being comprehend the wisdom of Omniscience, or even the exquisite perfection of creation's works, conceived by a Power that is infinite as well as incomprehensible.
