Abstract
THE distinctive feature of this edition of the famous natural history classic is the re-arrangement of the work according to the subjects dealt with. First, there are descriptions of the locality and its physical characteristics, and these are followed by thirteen sections, respectively concerned with meteorology, geology, ethnology, mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects, spiders and mites, worms, botany, superstitions, and a miscellany of subjects. This convenient arrangement will greatly assist naturalists and other students in referring to White's masterpiece.
The Natural History of Selborne.
By the Rev. Gilbert White Re-arranged and classified under subjects by Charles Mosley. (London: Elliot Stock, 1905.) Price 6s. net.
