E. Shipley is a collection of writings focused on the pests and minor nuisances caused by various insects, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume serves as a follow-up to "The Minor Horrors of War," exploring common household and environmental pests that affect human lives and activities. The opening chapters delve into the details of cockroaches, their characteristics, behaviors, and the troubles they present in both domestic and military settings. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the cockroach, detailing its history of introduction to England and its adaptations to human habitation. Shipley examines the physical attributes of cockroaches, including their rapid movements and their diet, which consists of nearly everything available to them. He humorously notes their association with human activity, their irritating presence, and the challenges they present when infesting ships and homes. This blend of informative content and wit sets the tone for what appears to be a thorough yet engaging exploration of various "minor horrors" posed by these ubiquitous insects.
