The Natural History of Selborne, Vol. 2

"The Natural History of Selborne, Vol. 2" by Gilbert White is a book first published in 1789. This volume covers the antiquities of Selborne, a companion to White's celebrated natural history observations. While the first volume detailed the wildlife and landscape of his Hampshire parish through letters to fellow naturalists, this second volume turns to local history and archaeology. Less frequently reprinted than its companion, it completes White's comprehensive portrait of his beloved village, offering readers insight into the human history that shaped this corner of pre-industrial England.
