“The advantages attending the division of labour reach their maximum
when not only individuals devote theniselves chiefly to one object, but associate
together for the purpose of promoting and extending it. * * * To a
thorough conviction of this truth the Entomological Society of London owes
its existence.” (“Introduction” to vol. i of the Transactions of the Entomo-
logical Society of London, the “ organization" of which Society was effected on
May 3rd, 1833.)
