Roundell Palmer Selborne Knihy

The Natural History of Selborne (1789) is the distillation of a lifetime of observing nature, and ranges far beyond White's immediate neighbourhood noted in the title. Written during a turbulent time in world history, it is a celebration of the endeavours of both human beings and animals to survive. White's main aims were to induce readers to pay more attention to the wonders around them, and to advance their knowledge of the variety of life: his success has made this book a classic, and has made his name one of the most revered among British naturalists.

Memorials is a collection of writings of Lady Sophia Matilda Palmer and Roundell Palmer Selborne. This is the second volume of the first part of the book, which contains memoirs of Lady Sophia Matilda Palmer, written by herself. The memoirs include important events in her life and the life of her family, including her grandfather, the first Earl of Selborne. This book is recommended for those interested in the history of British nobility and aristocracy.
