Excerpt from The Macrolepidoptera of the World: A Systematic Description of the Known Macrolepidoptera
Apart from a -certain external uniformity, a strict unity of treatment was only insisted upon in so far as it appeared absolutely necessary for attaining the purpose of the work. The individual authors were otherwise at liberty to follow their own methods, the task of collaboration thus being rendered as agreeable as possible. The chief aim of the entire work was to create for the collector as well as the scientific entomologist a very concise book which would enable him so find readily with the help of the text supplemented by the plates all the more essential points of what is known about the Lepidoptera he may have received. It was intended to publish a handbook which could be had at a low price and might conveniently be taken on travels.
