The Natural History of Selborne

Selborne people begin hop-picking.  The tops of beeches begin to turn yellow.

The failure of turnips this year is very great.

Flies torment the horses in a most unusual manner.

There is this year the greatest crop of wheat in the North-field that ever was remembered.

My well sinks very much.

Full moon.  The pair of martins which build by the stair-case window, where their first brood came-out on July 7: are now hatching a second brood, as appears by some egg-shells thrown-out.
