Naturalist's Calendar

"A Naturalist's Calendar," kept by Sir William Jardine in 1829, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily observations of a dedicated naturalist in Dumfrieshire, Scotland. This meticulous record, spanning from January to May, captures the nuances of the natural world through the eyes of a keen observer. Jardine's entries detail the changing seasons, the behavior of local wildlife, and the subtle shifts in the landscape.

Published posthumously, this calendar provides valuable insights into 19th-century natural history practices and the detailed work of one of Scotland's prominent naturalists. Readers interested in the history of science, naturalism, or Scottish history will find this work both informative and engaging. Jardine's dedication to recording his observations makes this calendar a timeless contribution to the field.
