Excerpt from The Forester: A Practical Treatise on the Planting, Rearing, and General Management of Forest Trees; With an Improved Process for Transplantation of Trees of Large Size
In the present Edition of the forester, as also in the former one, the Author has confined himself entirely to a detail of the results of his own experience in forest operations; and, in doing so, his whole aim has been that of making his work plainly useful as a forester's guide. He is of opinion that every book pretending to be practical should be written in the plainest and most simple language, so that the most common workman may understand.
It may by many he considered that a practical work, such as the present, is incomplete without a chapter being devoted to the most successful method of growing the differ ent kinds of Coniferae recently introduced into Britain.
