Excerpt from The Trees of Old England: Sketches of the Aspects, Associations, and Uses of Those Which Constitute the Forests, and Give Effect to the Scenery of Our Native Country
The following chapters appeared originally in a Magazine which has for its chief aim the diffusion of moral and sacred truth, and is always glad to have this done through the medium of illustrations drawn from nature, - that second Book of God, which is everywhere a commentary upon the first and greatest. They make not the slightest preten sion to a scientific character, seeking, like their forerunners on the Little Things of Nature, sim ply to set forth, in a plain and easy manner, some few of the beautiful and refreshing truths connected with the foresters of Old England. If received in the kindly spirit which it is hoped they may aid in diffusing and encouraging, they may probably be followed by a second series.
