Frontis original hand coloured engraving of a carabid beetle from Kirby, William; Spence, William (1818). Introduction to Entomology. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. This is taken as being a foundation text for Entomology, and it is largely on the basis of this book which appeared in many editions that William Kirby (19 September 1759 – 4 July 1850) is considered the \founder of entomology\"."
