Sinossi
Excerpt from The Natural: History of Selborne
Lured by the glowing descriptions which I received, in company with a friend whose initials will be found appended to many of the notes in the present volume, I visited them in their retreat; and for the brief space of three days joined them in their excursions, participated in their enthu siasm, and witnessed the delighted feelings with which they pursued their pleasing occupation. The manifest improvement in my brother's health and Spirits made me happy in the feeling that I had contributed to persuade him, reluctant as he was at first to engage in it, to undertake a task which had led to so gratifying a result. But time wore on: his return to London could no longer be delayed, and Selborne was quitted - not without a painful struggle. So strong a hold had it gained on his affections, that I felt persuaded, whenever he could tear himself away from the busy scenes of life, Selborne or its immediate neighbourhood would be chosen as the spot whereon to pass the remain der Of his days.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a charming collection of letters and observations on the natural history and antiquities of Selborne, a village in Hampshire, England. The author, an 18th-century naturalist and clergyman named Gilbert White, provides a detailed and engaging account of the flora, fauna, and local history of his surroundings. The book is significant for its pioneering approach to natural history, combining scientific observation with a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world. White's observations on bird migration, hibernation, and other natural phenomena were groundbreaking for his time, and his work remains an important contribution to the study of ecology and natural history. Beyond its scientific value, The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne is a delightful read for anyone interested in the English countryside, rural life, and the history of natural history. White's writing is clear, engaging, and full of wit and charm, and his love of nature is evident on every page.
