**Volume I (1837):** Westwood’s new edition opens by reframing Drury’s 18th-century plates for a 19th-century audience—adding modern “systematic characters,” synonyms and updated taxonomy—then launches a lepidoptera-heavy run of showy butterflies and moths interwoven with Drury’s field observations and collecting notes. It sets the tone for the set: plates integrated with narrative natural history rather than a bare catalogue.
