Originally published in 1887, the author has written about the many
and varied flora and fauna he has encountered on his jaunts in and
around the Surrey village of Selborne, most of which is in the form
of letters. It is noted that had the observer made such detailed
notes on the people of this time as he did about the animals and
birds, then 'we should then have had a picture of England just
before the beginning of our present era, and a wonderful difference
it would have shown.' Many of the earliest books, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce
and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork. Contents Include: Letters to Thomas
Pennant Letters to The Hon. Daines Barrington A Naturalist's
Calendar From The Year 1768 To The Year 1793 Observations In
Various Branches of Natural History Observations on Birds
Observations on Quadrupeds Observations on Insects and Vermes
Observations on Vegetables Meteorological Observations
