About This Book
Gilbert White, born in 1720 at his grandfather's vicarage in Selborne, Hampshire, was educated by Poet Laureate Thomas Wharton and later studied at Oriel College, Oxford. He was ordained in 1746 and 1749, serving in various curacies in Hampshire and Wiltshire. After his father's death, he returned to The Wakes in Selborne, where he began documenting the natural world, publishing works for the Royal Society, and corresponding with leading botanists. His seminal work, 'The Natural History of Selborne', was published in 1789 and remains in print.
