Forest Trees And Forest Scenery Classic Reprint

This book is essentially about forestry and how it might be used in the America of the early twentieth century to improve the look and management of natural woodland which has been cut for lumber and then left.

Excerpt from Forest Trees and Forest Scenery In the ensuing pages I have made simple inquiries into the sources of beauty and attractiveness in American forest trees and sylvan scenery. In the concluding chapter by way of contrast; I have given a short account of the esthetic effects of the artificial forests of Europe. The system which shaped these forests and gave them their present appearance should; however, possess more than a comparative interest for Americans. It has, in fact, a further connection though a slight one, with the subject, and therefore requires a few words of explanation. It is well known that in many parts of Europe the forests have long been subjected to a systematic treatment known as forestry.

Excerpt from Forests and Trees This book has been written to assist in impressing upon the young the value of our forests and to give them some appreciation of what is being done, as well as of what must yet be done, in order to preserve them. It is not a handbook on forestry, but contains interesting information which, it is hoped, will tend to create a healthy public opinion regarding the use and care of trees. While the book is really the expression of that appreciation of trees which comes only from long and intimate acquaintance, yet the literature on the subject has been freely used, and the author wishes to acknowledge the help received from the following: Sargent's "Manual of the Trees of North America"; Britton's "North American Trees"; Fernow's "Care of Trees"; Britton and Brown's Illustrated Flora of the Northern States and Canada; "Gray's New Manual of Botany" by Robinson and Fernald; Rydberg's "Flora of the Rocky Mountains and Adjacent Plains"; Coulter and Nelson's "Rocky Mountain Flora;" and Macoun's "Catalogue of Canadian Plants." Very particular mention should also be made of the many excellent publications of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior; and special thanks are due to Mr. R. H. Campbell, Director of Forestry, for valuable suggestions and assistance, as well as for a very careful and suggestive reading of the proof sheets by the staff of the Forestry Branch.

Excerpt from Gilpin's Forest Scenery Nearly a century has passed since English readers were first charmed by the perusal of a series of works which, emanating from the pen of a clergy man, and composed in the quietness and seclusion of an English woodland village, were given to the world under the title of Observations relative chiefly to Picturesque Beauty.' Their Author was William Gilpin, Prebendary of Salisbury and Vicar of Boldre, in New Forest, near Lym ington;' and the books have been handed down to the present generation, are carefully preserved in select libraries, are prized by book collectors, and are, still, eagerly sought for by those who have heard of Gilpin's fame but have never seen his writings.
