Excerpt from The Tineina of Southern Europe The object of the present volume is to supply the Entomologist who visits Southern Europe with one portable volume comprising all that has been written on the Tineina of that portion of the globe. The aim has been to reproduce accurately the records of each observer, but at the same time to place them, if possible, more clearly and distinctly before the reader than they appeared when originally published. The descriptions are reproduced in the actual words of the respective authors, it being thought that he who is trying to make out a species will always prefer to refer to the original than to any translation however perfect. A translator, indeed, who has not the actual insect before him is always liable to make errors which may altogether vitiate the description; for, though correctly translating the words, he may, from misapprehending their meaning, give a very different signification to the passage. The new matter in the volume is really extremely limited, less than a tenth being devoted to the chapter which treats of the author's doings in Southern Europe. But it is thought that the synthetic arrangement of all that has been done in the last twenty-five years, and the addition to that of all that had been written by previous authors, even going back to the year 1750, on the Tineina of Southern Europe, will much facilitate the further study of these insects. I would gladly have added another chapter as an epitome of the more interesting Southern forms included in this volume; but the extent to which the subject had already swollen, and a lurking doubt whether the proposed epitome might not itself grow to rather unreasonable dimensions, induced me to leave that chapter unwritten.
