OBSERVATIONS 

 ON 



VARIOUS PARTS OF NATURE. 

 FROM MR. WHITER MSS. 1 



1 [The following passages were selected from Gilbert White's diaries by Dr. 

 Aikin, and printed in the same volume with the Naturalist's Calendar (1795). ^ n 

 the edition of White's Selborne, published in 1802 and arranged by Dr. Aikin, 

 Markwick's Calendar and Observations were added, and these have been commonly 

 retained by later editors. They are of small value, and are not reprinted here ; nor 

 have we thought it necessary to include the Naturalist's Calendar, which White 

 never saw and which he deliberately refrained from compiling for the History. See 

 Letter LXVI. to Harrington.]
