Excerpt from A History of the Fossil Insects in the Secondary Rocks of England: Accompanied by a Particular Account of the Strata in Which They Occur, and of the Circumstances Connected With Their Preservation

The discoveries of Ehrenberg have also pointed out the importance of minute investigations, and have shown that such examinations and labours are not altogether thrown away, inasmuch as every addition to the stock of general knowledge enables us by degrees to arrive at more correct and logical conclusions upon any given matter of inquiry. These considerations, added to the suggestions of some eminent scientific friends, have induced me to detail in this memoir the results of my researches in this interest ing subject.

Excerpt from A History of the Fossil Insects in the Secondary Rocks of England: Accompanied by a Particular Account of the Strata in Which They Occur, and of the Circumstances Connected With Their Preservation

The intention of this Work is to give some account of the existence of Insects in a fossil state in a more detailed and definite manner than has hitherto been done respecting those which have been discovered in this country; and also to describe in detail the strata in which they are deposited, and the circumstances connected with their preservation. For although a few have been previously observed in other formations in the British Isles, as well as in the Wealden and Lias, still the number is very small, when compared with the great variety of other fossils which those strata afford. Certain beds in the Secondary series are now found to contain the remains of Insects in abundance, so much so, that they may be fairly considered as highly characteristic of those lime-stones in which they occur; and hence a greater degree of interest is attached to such ancient relics of a former world. Perhaps future discoveries may bring to light a much larger collection from other deposits; and it is not improbable that they may lead us to modify some of the opinions already formed, and may even ultimately prove of importance in our conclusions with regard to the physical features and conditions of the ancient Globe.
