Abstract
THE preface and foreword, both very brief, indicate that this attractive book is the work of a life-long lover of trees: a work he unfortunately did not live to finish, but it has been completed by his widow. Although dealing with the trees of a comparatively small area, the book is of wide general interest. The quotation from Kingsley which faces Mrs. Werthner's preface that “He is a thoroughly good naturalist who knows his own parish thoroughly” is very apt.
