 inducted into the vicarage of Selborne?-

 Register is reproduced in Frank Buckland's edition (vol. ii. p. 165). [R. B. S.] 



The following have been Vicars of Selborne since White's time : 



Aug. 10, 1800. J. Covey, B.D. 



1808. William Alcock, D.D. 



1813. William Cobbold, B.D. 



1841. Frederic James Parsons, B.D. He rebuilt the vicarage, and had the 

 new road made to Alton. 



1875. Edward Russel Bernard, M.A. [now Canon of Salisbury]. He restored 

 the church. 



1889. Walter Octavius Peile, M.A., formerly demy of Magdalen College.
