The Natural History of Selborne

Rye in ear.  Green pease at supper, a large dish.  Young Cygnets on the Mole reiver at Cobham.  Hay made, & carrying at Wandsworth.  Roses, & sweet-briars beginning to blow in my brother’s outlet.

Scarlet strawberries at 2s. per pottle.  Red-backed butcher-bird, or Flusher, in Bro. Ben’s outlet.

Straw-berries, scarlet, cryed about.  Straw-berries dry, & tasteless.  Quail calls in the field next to the garden.

Men wash their sheep.  Hoed carrots, parsneps, &c.  Received 5 gallons & a quart of French brandy from Mr Edmd Woods.
