The author of the present work, when engaged a few years back in preparing notes for a new edition of White's Natural History of Selborne, soon found a larger stock of matter collected upon his hands than it was thought desirable to use on that occasion. This led to the idea of embodying a considerable proportion of this matter in a separate work, such as is now offered to the public. It further appeared to him that a work of this kind might take the place of the "Naturalist's Calendar" and "Observations in various branches of Natural History," extracted from White's papers after his death, and first given to the world in a separate volume, by Dr. Aikin; both which have generally been incorporated with the later editions of White's work, but were not included in the edition spoken of above.
