'Selborne is in Hampshire, a village lying among hills and woods.  Here, until his death in 1793, lived the Rev. Gilbert White, and here he wrote The Natural History of Selborne.  it was the first book of its kind to appear.  it has never had a rival.'

'This edition contains thirty-one drawings by John Nash, R.A., which are perfectly in tune with the classic quality of the book.  In his Foreword, Mr. John Lewis says of Mr. Nash, "His vision is a pure distillation of the English scene."  We are proud that our edition should be distinguished by his work.'
