White's Natural History and Antiquities (1789) consists of a series of letters written to Daines Barrington and Thomas Pennant. The letters in Natural History contain detailed information about White's observations of local flora, fauna and wildlife while Antiquities is concerned with the topography, social, political and ancient history of Selborne.
White's work of 1789 is one of the first studies of ecology and also an indispensable source for Selborne's history.
