The Natural History of Selborne

Vast condensations, & drippings from the trees.

Ice is very thick.

Most beautiful rimes.

Vast rime, strong frost, birght, & still, fog.  The hanging woods when covered with a copious rime appear most beautiful & grotesque.

Ground covered with snow.

Much thunder.  Great hail at Faringdon.

Vast condensations in the great parlor: the grate, the marble-jams, the tables, the chairs, the walls are covered with dew. This inconvenience may be prevented by keeping the window shutters, & door close shut in such moist seasons.

Planted an old Newington-peach, & a Roman nectarine.

Snow was halfshoe-deep on the hill.  Distant lightening.

The ground is glutted with water.
