The Natural History of Wiltshire
Mikle Coker
"The Natural History of Wiltshire" by John Aubrey is a historical account written during the late 17th century. This work reflects Aubrey's compilation of observations, folklore, and scientific insights about the natural and cultural aspects of Wiltshire, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in regional history and topography. At the start of the book, the editor's preface sets the stage for Aubrey's unpublished manuscript, which seeks to document the unique features of Wiltshire. It discusses Aubrey's endeavors to promote local history and highlights his interactions with various contemporary figures, indicating a blend of personal anecdotes and scholarly efforts. The opening also mentions the initial challenges faced in publishing the work, ultimately establishing it as a significant contribution to the understanding of the county's natural history, including geology, climate, and the local populace's customs and characteristics.
