Excerpt from Moths of the Limberlost: With Water Color and Photographic Illustrations From Life
"Scientific writings may be divided into three groups: technical works intended for scientific men, popular compilations for general use, and works which contribute to literature and science at the same time. Of the first two there is no lack, but our third division is so poorly represented as to hare led to the saying that those who can write on scientific subjects have no original ideas, while those who have ideas cannot write. It is even true that popular works by eminent investigators are usually to be described as critical compilations, taking high rank as science or literature."
