Not seen : title from Newton, 1877. The engravings ascribed to Bewick in the title-p.age 

 may easily he seen, on comparison, to be copies of his masterpieces, and not printed from the 

 blocks which illustrate bis well-known Britinh Birds. The edition is otlierwise very well 

 '•got up-" The editor has freely altered such of his predecessors notes as seemed to require 

 amendment, and of course many did. To face p. 385 is inserted a facsimile copy of the same 

 page of the author's diary as had been given forty years before by Jesse, in his Gleanings in 

 Natural History. (Cf. 1834.)

In this edition the author's "Natural History" ends with p. 292, to which follow the com- 

 parative "Calendar'^ kept by "VFhite and Markwick, and then Mr. Bucldand's notes, extend- 

 ing ovi-r i>p. 309-to8. The author's "Antiquities" occupy pp. 459-555, .and on p. 559 begins 

 Lord Selbornes " Appendix," which ends at p. 574. The volume is profusely illustrated by 

 woodcuts ; but, except the views of the place and its neighborhood, few ot them have any- 

 thing especially to do with White or Selbonie. The same may be said of the editor's 

 "Notes"; and the "Memoir" gives little information about the author that was not known 

 before. As a whole, the edition has served to amuse the general readei-, but can never be 

 deemed by a naturalist to be worthy of the author's memory. Lord Selborne's contribution 

 excepted. The new letters (five in number, lent by ilr. J. W. Edgehill, of Culter, Aberdeen) 

 bear date from November, 1774, to January. 1791, and are addressed to the writer's nephew 

 Samuel Barker, his sister Mrs. Barker, his niece Anne Barker (2), and his brother-in-law 

 Thomas Barlcer. To the first is pi-efixed a poetical "Invitation to Selborne," which consists 

 of a great part of the poem "Selborne," afterwards printed with amplifications, combined 

 with some lines subsequently incorporated with the well-known "Naturalist's Summer Even- 

 ing 'Walk." One of the letters to Anne Barker, dated February 5, 1785, is nearly identical 

 withthe already published sixty -third letter to Barrington. To face p. xxii is a photogiaph of 

 a portion of the letter there printed, and on p. 473 is a woodcut representing in facsimile the 

 last entry in the burial register of Selborne, signed by "White as "Curate," June 10, 1793, 

 followed by the certificate of his own burial, July 1, 1793, signed "Ch. Taylor— Vicar. "
