Home page of the gilbert white network, which brings together researchers and members of the public interested in the life and works of the selborne naturalist. Rev. gilbert white lived mostly in the hampshire village of selborne from 1720 to 1793. a keen gardener, he began to study nature by close observation – a process he called ‘watching narrowly’ – and wrote about what he discovered to his friends thomas pennant and daines barrington. Pennant recruited gilbert to provide information for his books, and when benjamin white printed for daines barrington (1727–1800) a set of weekly forms entitled the naturalist’s journal, it was probably pennant who suggested to barrington that he send a set to gilbert.
