Gilbert White, the parson who lived
and ministered in the little village of
SeiHorne and immortalized it with his
natural history of the place. He was
helther warrior, statesman, poet nor
trust, but supplemented and reverent
gentleman who remained at what was
considered lowly and unimportant

the mysteries of nature right at his own
Goor. He lived in constant and LOVING
intimacy with birds and flowers and
animals. He knew their habits and
chionicied their histories. He did much

mari;y in ways of kindness and as an
interpreter of the lower life to the high

of experiments with 1t on her majesty's

Compared to the old pattern 6-inch guns

such weapons, on account of the improved
