Dear Miss Ormerod,—
For thirty years you have been a pioneer in the fieldsof agricultural zoology and chemistry, and it may most truly besaid that no woman has ever done so much as you have to protectagriculture against its natural enemies. In the special departmentsto which you have devoted your life, it is universally admitted thatyou are without a rival.
My little volumes do not compete with work so serious as yours,yet you have gratified me with your commendation of their truthfulness,and you have permitted me the pleasure of dedicating to youthis one, in some chapters of which I deal with the classes whichare most familiar to yourself.
