Excerpt from The Natural: History of SelborneLured by the glowing descriptions which I received, in company with a friend whose initials will be found appended to many of the notes in the present volume, I visited them in their retreat, and for the brief space of three days joined them in their excursions, participated in their enthu siasm, and witnessed the delighted feelings with which they pursued their pleasing occupation. The manifest improvement in my brother's health and Spirits made me happy in the feeling that I had contributed to persuade him, reluctant as he was at first to engage in it, to undertake a task which had led to so gratifying a result. But time wore on: his return to London could no longer be delayed, and Selborne was quitted - not without a painful struggle. So strong a hold had it gained on his affections, that I felt persuaded, whenever he could tear himself away from the busy scenes of life, Selborne or its immediate neighbourhood would be chosen as the spot whereon to pass the remain der Of his days.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
