19th of the same month he writes to his nephew, Samuel Barker, 
and mentions Grimm’s twelve drawings, remarking that the 
“scape” of Hawkeley Hanger “did not succeed so well as 
some others” (/.r., p. 328). Writing to the same nephew on 
November i, 1776, he again refers to the twelve drawings by 
Grimm, and gives a list of them. 
(1) “A view of the village and hanger from the short Lithe.” 
[Afterwards reproduced as the folding frontispiece to the first 
edition of “ Selborne.”] 
(2) “A view of the S.E. end of the hanger and its 
cottages, taken from the upper end of the street.” [Not 
published.] 
“ A side view of the old hermitage, with the Hermit standing 
at the door.” [Vignette on the title-page of the first edition of 
Gilbert White’s book.] 
(4) “A sweet view of the short Lithe and Dorton from the 
lane beyond Peasecod’s house.” [Not published.] 
(5 and 6) “Two views of the Church.” [Published in the 
first edition (see pp. 310, 322).] 
(7 and 8) “Two views of my outlet.” [Not published. 
Would that they had been !] 
(9) “View of Temple Farm.” [See p. 342 of the first 
edition.] 
(10) “ View of the village from the inside of the present 
hermitage” \i.e., the Alcove on the Bostal. Not published] . 
(11) “ Hawkley Hanger,” — “which does not prove very 
engaging.” [Vide antea. Not published.] 
(12) “A grotesque and romantic drawing of the waterfall 
in the hollow bed of the stream in Silkwood’s Vale to the N.E. 
of Berriman’s house.” [Not published.] 
Referring to the folded frontispiece, I would suggest that 
Professor Bell’s identification of the persons depicted by Grimm 
must, at least in one instance, be erroneous. In the records 
published by Mr. Rashleigh Holt-White, there is no mention 
of any visitors at the “ Wakes ” during the period of Grimm’s 
stay at Selborne, and certainly his brother Thomas does not 
appear to have been there, so that Bell’s “fourth” figure 
identified as “ Thomas Holt White, Gilbert’s brother ” can 
scarcely be correct. At that date (1776) Thomas was fifty-two 
years old, and was probably at that time by no means of slender 
figure, to judge by the portrait given in Mr. Holt- White’s book 
(vol. i., p. 298), though this likeness may have been taken some 
years later. There is no record of Thomas Holt White the 
younger, then aged thirteen years, having been at Selborne in 
1776, and the “fourth” figure cannot have been intended for 
him. The “second” and “third” figures may represent Mr. 
Etty and Mrs. Richard Yalden, as Bell says — there seems to be 
no evidence for or against this statement. 
The interest centres now on the “ first ” figure — as to 
whether this represents Gilbert White, as a family tradition.
