Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JESSE, EDWARD (178o1868) , English writer on natural history, was born on the 14th of January 178o, at
Hutton
  Cranswick, Yorkshire, where his father was
vicar
  of the parish. He became clerk in a government office in 1798, and for a time was secretary to Lord Dartmouth, when president of the Board of
Control
 . In 1812 he was appointed
commissioner
  of hackney coaches, and later he became
deputy
  surveyor-general of the royal parks and palaces. On the abolition of this office he retired on a pension, and he died at
Brighton
  on the 28th of
March
  1868.
The result of his
interest
  in the habits and characteristics of animals was a
series
  of pleasant and popular books on natural history, the
principal
  of which are Gleanings in Natural History (18321835),; An Angler's Rambles (1836); Anecdotes of Dogs (1846); and Lectures on Natural History (1863). He also 'edited Izaak Walton's Com pleat Angler, Gilbert White's Selborne, and L. Ritchie's Windsor Castle, and wrote a number of handbooks to places of
interest
 , including Windsor and Hampton Court.
