Summary "A Text-book of Entomology" by A. S. Packard is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive resource on the anatomy, physiology, embryology, and metamorphoses of insects, tailored for use in agricultural and technical schools as well as for working entomologists. It aims to provide a foundational understanding of insect morphology and biology, catering to both students and teachers. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of entomology, emphasizing the importance of understanding insect anatomy and their relationships within the animal kingdom. In the preface, Packard highlights the inadequacies of existing literature on insects and expresses his intention to fill those gaps through thorough explanations, supplemented by laboratory work and collateral readings. The structure of the introductory sections shows a focus on the diversity, complexity, and classification of insects, laying out a systematic approach that will guide readers through the essential elements of entomological study.
