The Common Spiders of the United States
The Common Spiders of the United States, published by J. H. Emerton in 1902, is a field guide to the spiders most likely to be met with in the eastern and northern states, written for naturalists without special training. After an introduction to the structure, habits and classification of spiders, Emerton describes the principal families in turn, the orb weavers, the crab spiders, the jumping spiders, the wolf spiders, the house spiders and the rest, with notes on where each species lives, how it builds and how it catches its prey. More than five hundred of the author's own drawings accompany the text. Emerton was the leading American authority on spiders of his generation.
