Sphinx Vespiformis: An Essay
1832

Published in 1832, 'Sphinx Vespiformis: An Essay' by Edward Newman is a scientific exploration of the insect Sphinx Vespiformis, which was once thought to be fictional. The essay investigates the confusion surrounding its classification by Linnaeus and critiques existing taxonomic systems. Newman, alongside colleague Mr. Clark, examines a specimen believed to be the Sphinx, proposing a new framework for understanding the natural order among living organisms. This work is notable for its contribution to entomology and the broader themes of natural classification.
