1789. The | Natural History | and | Antiquities | of | Selborne, | in the 
| County of Southampton : | with | Engravings, and an Ap- 
pendix. | ... | [Quotations 7 lines.] | . . . | London : | Printed

Street. | m,dcc,lxxxix. | 
Collation — 1 vol. 4to, pp. v + pp. 468 +pp. 13 un. (12 index 
and 1 errata), ix pi. There are no pages numbered 441, 442 
(p. 398 misprinted 389). 
The name of the author is not on the title-page, but appears at 
the end of the advertisement, p. v, as “ Gil. White, Selborne, 
January 1, 1788.” This was the only English edition published in 
the author’s lifetime. The nine plates 1 were drawn by S. H. 
Grimm, and three of these, viz. the two of the Church and that of 
the Plestor, were engraved by Peter Mazell, who had also engraved 
the plates for Pennant’s British Zoology. The authorship of 
the large folding plate facing the title-page is uncertain, but is 
probably the work of Grimm (see notice at head of list of plates, 
first edition). This, the editio princeps, is a scarce book, and 
uncut copies command high prices. 
In 1792, a German translation in a garbled form was published 
at Berlin by F. A. A. Meyer, under the title of White’s Beytrdge 
zur N aturgeschichte von England (16mo, pp. 8 un. +pp. 168). 
An edition in quarto is assigned to the year 1793 by Agassiz 
and Strickland (Bibliographia Zoologies et Geolog ice, vol. iv. p. 560), 
probably in error ( cf . Newton, Notes and Queries (5), vii. p. 241).
