The Natural History of Wiltshire
John Aubrey and John Britton
John Aubrey wandered his native Wiltshire jotting down its air, springs, rivers, and every natural curiosity. His memoirs of natural remarks gather local weather, medicinal waters, and country lore with an antiquary's magpie eye. Charming, digressive, and richly local. A seventeenth-century naturalist's notebook of an English county. Ramble through old Wiltshire with one of the most delightful observers of his age.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
