The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne by Gilbert White, with notes by Francis Trevelyan Buckland and Roundell Palmer, Earl of Selborne, is a cornerstone of English natural history writing. Originally published in 1789, White's meticulous observations of the flora, fauna, and local antiquities of his parish in Selborne, Hampshire, provide a detailed snapshot of 18th-century rural England. This edition includes annotations by later naturalists, enriching White's original work with updated scientific perspectives and additional insights.

White's engaging style and keen eye transformed the genre of natural history writing, making it accessible to a broader audience. His work remains significant not only for its historical and scientific value but also for its celebration of the natural world and its enduring appeal to readers interested in ecology, local history, and the beauty of the English countryside.
