¶ Scarce. With the signature of James Francis Stephens (1792–1852), Entomologist, Author. Founding member and Vice-President of the Entomological Society of London. He was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society on 17 February 1815, and of the Zoological Society in 1826. He was also a member of the entomological societies of London and France. He contributed volumes 9-14 to Shaw’s ‘Zoology’. In 1818, at the request of the trustees of the British Museum, he was granted leave from his office at the Admiralty to assist the naturalist William Elford Leach (1791–1836) in arranging the museum's insect collection. After retirement Stephens worked, unpaid, at the British Museum until his death; he undertook the considerable task of arranging and cataloguing the collection of Linnaean Phalaenae (around 7000 specimens). It is believed that he described some 2800 species native to Britain, a considerable expansion on the earlier efforts of the entomologist Thomas Marsham (1747/8–1819). On his death his collections were purchased by the British Museum, and his fine library was acquired by Henry Tibbats Stainton (1822–1892). Ultimately Stainton Lovells’ books and some Lovell’s went to the Entomological Society of London.
