In sending this little Treatise to the Press it has been thoughtdesirable to present it to the Public as a literal translation from thepen of M. Hermann, rather than a more highly finished productionin the English, language.
We take the present opportunity of mentioning, that the firstintroduction of the Ligurian Bee into England was through ouragency. A letter to us from M. Hermann, dated 5th July, 1859, (anextract from which appeared in the "Cottage Gardener" of thatmonth) has given rise to the interesting discussion in that periodical.
