Ink inscription to the first blank.First published in 1789, this work has been in print continuously, with some three hundred editions up to 2007. It comprises a mix of letters addressed to other naturalists, phrenological observations and natural history observations. It was an immediate success, and is held as an early contribution to ecology and phenology, as well as a charming portrait of England pre-Industrial Revolution.

H. Auden.This edition was revised by James Edmund Harting (1841-1928), an English ornithologist and naturalist whose works include 'A Handbook of British Birds', 'The Ornithology of Shakespeare and 'The Birds of Middlesex'.

He boasts of having known the recipient and her 'three amiable sisters' for 14 years, and discusses his relationship with them (their father being his mother's cousin), and the fact that his sister, who died at the age of 14 in 1830, 'was named Alison Dewar White: she was a lovely girl, and was removed, just when her accomplishments had begun to manifest themselves and her education to tell'. The final paragraph concerns 'the Rev James Hamilton, author of "Life in Earnest" "The Dew of Hermon" & many other admirable tracts & essays [.] He is a man of very considerable mental powers, of a most cultivated intellect, specially fond of botany & entomology and like me a Fellow off the Linnean Society of London'. The letter concludes: 'my paper fails & I get garrulously gossiping'. In 1851 Darwin provided White with a testimonial in which he expressed his 'high opinion' of his 'Zoological attainments', and praising his 'great zeal for every branch of Natural History'.…
