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

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

 blocks which illustrate his well-known British Birds. The edition is otherwise very well 

 '•got up." The editor has freely altered such of his predecessor's 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 diarj' as had been given forty years before by Jesse, in his Gleanings in 

 Natural History. (Cf. 1834.)

 Not seen — title and comment from Newton. 



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

 parative "Calendar" kept by White and Markwick, and then Mr. Buckland's notes, extend- 

 ing over pp. 309-458. The author's "Antiquities" occupy pp. 459-555, and on p. 559 begins 

 Lord Selborne's "Ajipendix," which ends at p. 574. Tue volume is profusely illustrated by 

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

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

 "Notes''; and the "Memoir" gives little inform.itiou .about the .author that was not known 

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

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

 excepted. The now letters (five in number, lent by Mr. J. AV. Edgehill, of Culter, Aberdeen) 

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

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

 Thomas B.arker. To the iirst is prefixed 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 tlie letters to Anne Barker, dated February 5, 1785, is nearly identical 

 with the already published sixty-third letter to Harrington. To face p. xxii is a photograph of 

 a portion of the letter there printed, and on p. 473 is a woodcut rei)resenting in fac-simile the 

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

 followed by the certificate of his ov.tx burial, July 1, 1793, signed "Ch. T.aylor— Vicar."
