One of 2,000 copies of foolscap size. A descriptive account of the trees and larger shrubs, chiefly from economic aspect. Although the wealth of data on the strengths of various timbers and their possible uses has been modified or disproved by later research, the work, with its clear, recognisable diagrams and straightforward text, is still of interest and value. A nice copy of this classic. G.
