Synopsis

Discover how Britain’s trees shape air, scenery, and everyday life. This volume surveys the forests and ornamental trees that define England’s landscape, blending natural history with art and poetry to show why trees matter beyond their wood and leaves.

In these pages, you’ll discover how trees keep the air clean, support life, and enrich culture. It explains growth, anatomy, and age, using clear examples like the lime, ash, and mountain-ash to illuminate how trees influence our mood, cities, and gardens. The author also traces how trees have inspired poets, artists, and craftsmen, connecting science with memorable images of the countryside.

• How trees improve air quality and support health through their life processes


• How they shape the landscape and the “picturesque” in England


• Foundations of tree growth, structure, and aging, with simple explanations of rings and bark


• Profiles of notable species, including lime, ash, mountain-ash, and chestnut, with cultural and practical notes

Ideal for readers who love nature writing, gardens, and the history of the English countryside, as well as anyone curious about how trees influence beauty and daily life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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 NATUEE, that second Book of God, which is everywhere a commentary upon the first and greatest. They make not the slightest pretension to a scientific character, seeking, like their forerunners on the Little Things of Nature, simply 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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
