This book is a compilation of letters that naturalist and ornithologist Gilbert White (1720-93) presumably wrote and posted to his contemporaries; naturalist and antiquarian, Thomas Pennant (44), and Daines Barrington (66), an English barrister and Fellow of the Royal Society. But it's obvious that at least some of these "letters" (i. e.; Letter 1 to Thomas Pennant, Esquire) were actually written specifically for this book, to provide a context and framework around which the entire collection revolves. |
