    THE QUESTION CONCERNING THE SENSIBILITY, INTELLIGENCE, AND INSTINCTIVE ACTIONS OF INSECTS, BY DAVID BADHAM, m. d. FALLOW OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS OF LONDON ; ONE OF THE RADCLIFFE TRAVELLING FELLOWS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD, AND MEMBER OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF FRANCE. Licel irrideat, is qui velit; plus apud me tamen vera ratio valebit quam vulgi opinio. Cic. There are not many certain truths in this world. It is therefore in the anatomy of the mind as in that of the body; more good will accrue to mankind by attending to the large, open, and perceptible parts, than by studying too much such finer nerves and vessels as will for ever escape our observation. The disputes are all upon these last.—-(Pope’s preface to the Essay on Man.) PARIS, . PRINTED BY A. BELIN, RUE SAINTE-ANNE, 55.
