About this Item

A 1894 edition of The Natural History of Selborne, originally published in 1789, is a foundational work of English literature and natural science written by the parson-naturalist Gilbert White. Rather than a formal scientific treatise, the book is a collection of 110 letters written to two fellow naturalists, Thomas Pennant and Daines Barrington. White's meticulous observations of the flora, fauna, and geology of his small Hampshire parish transformed the way humans observe the natural world, shifting the focus from "cabinet specimens" to living animals in their natural habitats.
