Letters and Reminiscences of the Rev. John Mitford

Excerpt from Letters and Reminiscences of the Rev. John Mitford A considerable number of letters, written long ago by the Rev. John Mitford, Rector of Ben hall, Suffolk, and for many years editor of the Gentleman's Magazine, having unexpectedly fallen into my possession, it occurred to me to incorporate the biographies as well as some of the writings of a pair of friends (such as were my father, Mr. Edward Jesse, and John Mitford, whose mutual love of Natural History drew them together), in one small volume, which might perhaps prove interesting to a portion of the reading public.
