The full title of Gilbert White's famous book is "The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne" although the antiquities section is often omitted (see shared description below). Seen here is the original manuscript, preserved at The Wakes - Gilbert's birthplace and latterly his home for many years, and where this book was written.
