| Summary | "The Structure and Life-history of the Cockroach ("Periplaneta orientalis")" by L. C. Miall and Alfred Denny is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work presents an in-depth examination of cockroaches, focusing on their structure and life cycle within the field of entomology. It aims to serve as an introduction to insect studies, targeting those who wish to explore this area of biological science further. At the start of the publication, the authors emphasize the importance of studying specific animal types, using the cockroach as a prime example to illustrate key principles in zoology and comparative anatomy. They discuss influential figures in insect anatomy, like Malpighi and Swammerdam, while laying the groundwork for examining the cockroach's various anatomical features. The authors express their hope that this detailed exploration will benefit students who seek a more profound understanding of insect biology, pointing out that despite any overlap with previous works, their unique approach and illustrations contribute valuable insights into this common insect's complex biology.
