Prominent among those who have helped many to realise the 

 marvel and beauty of nature, a widely-felt gratitude ranks Gilbert 

 White, Henry Thoreau, Charles Kingsley, Richard Jefferies, J. G. 

 Wood, John Ruskin, and John Burroughs. 



Gilbert White (1720-1793) is known to all as the author of 

 The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne, in the County of 

 Southamfton ( 1 788), a book consisting of a series of letters addressed 

 to a few friends. A good edition is that by J. E. Harting (6th ed., 

 London, 1888), but there is a cheaper one, edited by Richard 

 Jefferies, in the Camelot Series. 



Henry Thoreau (1817-1862), the author of Walden, A Week 

 on Concord, and other much-loved books. 



Charles Kingsley (1819-1875). See his Glaucus (Lond., 

 1854); Water-Babies; and popular lectures.
