Description
The naturalist Gilbert White (1720-93) was known for his meticulous observations of flora and fauna in their natural environment, primarily around his village of Selborne in Hampshire.
This posthumous 1795 publication, edited by the physician and writer John Aikin (1747-1822), comprises a collection of extracts from White's previously unpublished papers from 1768 to his death.
Presented here for 'lovers of natural knowledge' is a full year of White's observations.
Following the month-by-month record of natural events, the book contains brief studies of birds, quadrupeds, insects, plants and the weather.
A lifelong lover of the outdoors, White had kept a near daily record of his activities for more than forty years.
Regarded as one of the fathers of ecology, inspiring others to appreciate the natural world, White is best known for The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne (1789), which is also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection.
