Original dark brown cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine, and embossed decoration on cover. Rear hinge shows some mesh. Corners and spine in good condition: boards show a little scuffing, corners are fairly sharp, and spine ends are only lightly crushed. A few pencil notations on title pages. Pages are otherwise clean and unmarked. This is an account of the moth outbreaks and infestations that occurred in the late 1880s and early 1890s in Massachusetts, causing substantial damage to trees and food supplies in the areas of outbreak. It documents efforts to destroy the moth, and contains information about the moth's lifespan, habits, and mating. Edward Howe Forbush (1858-1929) was an ornithologist and a prolific writer from Massachusetts, best known for his book Birds of New England. Charles Henry Fernald (1838-1921) was an American entomologist, geologist, and zoologist, who is credited as the first college professor of economic entomology.
