Humanity to Honey-Bees

Humanity to Honey-Bees - or, Practical Directions for the Management of Honey-Bees Upon an Improved and Humane Plan, by Which the Lives of Bees May Be Preserved, and Abundance of Honey of a Superior Quality May Be Obtained

"Out of print," though a somewhat laconic, might be a not inappropriate preface to this second edition, and of itself a quaint apology for its appearance. Out of print is certainly exhilarating news to the author anxious for the success of a work inculcating a new system of Bee-management, in which not only is his reputation as an apiarian involved and evolved, but, it may be, the very means of his subsistence are bound up in it; the oftener therefore he hears the bibliopolist expressionout of printthe more animating and welcome it becomes; because its reiteration can hardly fail to be considered by him an indication that the demand for his book continues.that his system is progressing,or, at any rate, that either curiosity respecting it, or some higher xvi and more laudable motive, is still existent in the public mind. Thus cheered on, thus, as it were, encored, it has become his duty to the public no less than to himself to proceed forthwith to the publication of a new edition. Previously, however, to stating what alterations, emendations, &c. have been introduced in order to render the work, as far as I am yet able to render it, worthy a continuance of public patronage, I consider it to be my duty to record my grateful thanks for the success and encouragement I have already received. To the scientific and literary press, and to the several gentlemen of scientific attainments connected therewith, who, by their influence and kind professional assistance, and promptitude in the furtherance of my interest, have greatly contributed to my success, my best thanks are due, and are hereby respectfully tendered: amongst these I have sincere pleasure in particularizing Dr. Birkbeckthe talented President of the London Mechanics' Institution,Dr. HancockFellow of the Medico-Botanical Societya veteran of high and esteemed attainments,and Mr. Booththe popular Lecturer on Chemistrya young man of first-rate abilities. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
