Excerpt from Trees Shrubs for English Plantations: A Selection and Description of the Most Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, Native and Foreign, Which Will Flourish in the Open Air in Our Climate; With Classified Lists of the Several Species, Under the Heads of Size and Habit, Peculiarities of Foliage and Flow Indefatigable London, the Arboretum at F mtz'cetum Britan m'cum. Most amateurs are more bewildered than enlightened by a reference to its pages. How can they make a proper selection out of that enormous list of all the hardy trees and shrubs (without reference to merit) introduced into Great Britain up to London's time? How can they (even had they time and patience to study those four dense volumes) distin guish those which would answer their purposes from the vast number which would not And yet in a botanical work like London's, professing completeness, the latter have an equal claim to insertion with the most eligible. To this may be added, that since the publication of that work, many very desirable species have been introduced. The only other sources of information are gardening works and nurserymen's catalogues, in most of which there is nearly the same absence of selection as in London's work, with the additional defect of their being destitute of any descriptive remarks. It is to furnish the assistance required, but hitherto unsupplied, that the present work is written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Of the vast extent of those resources they are mostly unaware. Few know - whilst all might, and ought to know - that there are upwards of 600 trees and shrubs of surpassing beauty, each preeminent for various merits of its own, as regards foliage, flower, fruit, aspect, etc., that will grow in this country in the open air. These afford materials for grouping, with a view to effect, which have never been utilised to nearly the extent of which they are susceptible. Like the colours on a painter's palette, by the selection and combination of which he makes his canvas glow with beautiful forms and harmonious tints, so the infinite variety of outline and colour in trees affords scope for so arranging them as to produce most striking results, both in home views and distant landscapes.
