Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Elements of Forestry, Designed to Afford Information Concerning the Planting and Care of Forest Trees for Ornament or Profit and Giving Suggestions Upon the Creation and Care of Woodlands With the View of Securing the Greatest Benefit for the Longest In preparing this work, the author has endeavored to present, in a concise form, a general outline of the subject of Forestry in its most ample relations, without attempting to he exhaustive in any thing. Technical details have been avoided as far as was thought possible; but in mentioning the names of trees and other organic objects, the scientific as well as the common names have generally both been used, chiefly because the latter are often quite uncertain in their application, while the former can never be mistaken when rightly applied, and are alike in the scientific literature of all languages. In noticing the various subjects embraced, care has been taken to mention the economical uses and commercial values that pertain to them, and in describing different methods, a preference has been stated whenever it was thought to lead to best results. The engravings in this work are chiefly derived from the following sources: Those occupying full pages, and showing details of structure of some of the principal species of Timber-trees, and the laws of development and growth, are from "Der Wald," by E. A. Rossmassler, an approved German author. The engravings showing details of wood structure, are chiefly from "Les Bois," by M. M. Dupont and Bouquet de la Grye, and some of the illustrations of botanical species are from the "Guide du Forestier," by the latter. The figures of insects, and their ravages, are from "Les Ravageurs des Forets," by II. de la Blanchere. Those of Charcoal Kilns, are from the "Journal of the U. S. Asso. Charcoal Iron Workers," and those of Charcoal Meilers, from the American edition of Svedelius´ "Handbook for Charcoal Burners."
