Abstract
THIS little book is not badly done so far as it goes, but there is nothing in it that has not often been said before; the photographs are good, but of quite familiar objects. The one innovation consists in eking out a volume offered at six shillings by “Cameos from the Natural History of Selborne,” which occupy fifty of these meagre pages: a serious literary blunder, to use a mild word. The six shillings might be much better spent in the purchase of an edition of the famous book, which is much talked of but probably little read.
Gilbert White and Selborne.
