Description
Gilbert White is known worldwide as a naturalist and the author of “The Natural History of Selborne,” the first book to present a formal study of an area and its wildlife. It has run into numerous editions and impressions and holds a place as one of the best-known books ever published.
Inevitably, scholars, natural historians, and the public at large seek information on the background and character of such a personality. What induced him to spend his days in Selborne in literary pursuits and scientific study on matters which interested him rather than accept a living which gave him more official recognition?
This book is recommended to all who are interested in studying the life of a great man and the social structure of the eighteenth century.
Note: Book is described as used but was never sold.
