Excerpt from Arboretum Et Fruticetum Britannicum, or the Trees and Shrubs of Britain, Vol. 1 of 8: Native and Foreign, Hardy and Half-Hardy, Pictorially and Botanically Delineated, and Scientifically and Popularly Described; History, Geography, and Science; And Descriptions, From Ranuncula'ceae to Staphylea'ceae, P. 494, Inclusive These portraits of trees in their young and mature state, which are contained in the last four volumes, together with the engraved botanical specimens, and the scientific and popular descriptions contained in the four volumes of letter press, are calculated, as the author thinks, to create that interest in trees and shrubs in those who have not previously paid much attention to the subject.
