What Our Customers Say...

Description

The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne has remained in print since its original publication in 1789. It is compiled from letters from White to other naturalists as well as holding a 'Naturalist's Calendar' and a selection of poetry. It was well received contemporaneously and is regarded as an early contribution to ecology and phenology.

With additions by Sir William Jardine.

This copy was issued as a part of Constable's Miscellany and is volume XLV of the Literature, Science and the Arts. 

With an illustrated title page.

Inscription to the recto of front endpaper. 

A smart copy of this important work.

Condition

In a half calf binding, with paper covered boards. Externally, very smart. Patches of rubbing to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Light tidemark to the rear of engraved title page. Otherwise, just the odd spot.

Very Good
