Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forest Trees of Britain, Vol. 1 of 2The Author's object in preparing these little Volumes, is to furnish the lover of Nature with such information respecting the trees which are either natives of Great Britain, or naturalized in it, as will tend to impart additional interest to his wanderings in the country. The reader, therefore, must not expect to find the announce ment of any botanical discovery, any suggestions of new methods of planting, or recommendations for the improvement of timber. If he desires information on these points, he is referred to the numerous excellent works already in existence which treat on these subjects. But if he be merely desirous of exploring the wonders of Na ture as they are displayed In the more stately yege table productions of his native country, it is hoped that he will find in the following pages, not, indeed, enough to_ satisfy his curiosity, but to stimulate him to fresh research. The Author assures him that even his own slender amount of scientific attainments can crowd the hedges and by-ways with countless miracles, which for the untrained eye have no being.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
