* From this sentence, and indeed from the occurrence of the whole list 

 of books at this time, it might almost be inferred that this was the date of 

 the first admission to Basingstoke Grammar School, notwithstanding the 

 statement of his nephew John White (who was not always as exact as he 

 might have been in his remarks) in his "Advertisement" to the second 

 edition of his uncle's book (2 vols. 8vo, 1802), that the naturalist "received 

 his school education at Basingstoke." If this surmise is correct, Farnham 

 Grammar School is probably responsible for the chief portion of his education, 

 but since no records of either school are extant the matter is unlikely to be 

 ever cleared up.
