The Humming Bird, 1895, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Scientific, Artistic and Industrial Review (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Humming Bird, 1895, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Scientific, Artistic and Industrial Review
There is scarcely a family of Insects in any Order on which he did not treat, and this, with the accuracy for which he was well known.
His separate works were many. Among them his Introduction to the Modern Classification of Insects can be considered asa masterpiece. This work gained him the Royal Medal of the Royal Society in 1855.
In 1856, his friend, Mr. Hope, presented his collections to the University of Oxford, and endowed a Professorship, which he intended should be of Entomology, but a difficulty was put in the way, and it was compromised by instituting a Chair of Invertebrate Zoology. Westwood was the first Hope Professor. He soon became a striking feature in the University, and under his charge the entomological collection increased vastly.
