Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Edited by Francesca Greenoak and Richard Mabey. This volume contains the years 1774-1783, a period in which Gilbert White's knowledge about the natural world developed rapidly. There are still notes about the garden, but these take second place as he becomes more involved with the wild plants and animals in the parish of Seelborne. Grey cloth boards. Gilt title to spine and title onlay to front. B/w illustrations. 520 pages including index.
Text block slightly grubby, minor foxing to top edge. Contents clean. Cream pictorial dustwrapper is lightly edge-worn and slightly scuffed.
