WILLIAM (1759–1850) , See also:English entomologist, was See also:born at Witnesham in See also:Suffolk on the 19th of See also:September 1759. From the See also:village school of Witnesham he passed to See also:Ipswich See also:grammar school, and thence to See also:Caius See also:College, See also:Cambridge, where he graduated in 1781. Taking See also:holy orders in 1782, he spent his entire See also:life in the peaceful seclusion of an English See also:country parsonage at See also:Barham in Suffolk. His favourite study was natural See also:history; and eventually See also:entomology engrossed all his leisure. His first See also:work of importance was his Monographia Apum Angliae (2 vols. 8vo, 1802), which as the first scientific See also:treatise on its subject brought him into See also:notice with the leading entomologists of his own and See also:foreign countries. The See also:practical result of a friendship formed in 1805 with William See also:Spence, of See also:Hull, was the jointly written Introduction to Entomology (4 vols., 1815–1826; 7th ed., ,856), one of the most popular books of See also:science that have ever appeared. In 183o he was chosen to write one of the See also:Bridgewater See also:Treatises, his subject being The History, Habits, and Instincts of Animals (2 vols., 1835). This undeniably See also:fell See also:short of his earlier See also:works in point of scientific value. He died on the 4th of See also:July 185o.
