Synopsis
Excerpt from Forest Trees and Forest Scenery
IN the ensuing pages I have made simple inquiries into the sources of beauty and at tractiveness in American forest trees and sylvan scenery. In the concluding chapter, by way of contrast, I have given a short ac count of the esthetic effects of the artificial forests of Europe. The system which shaped these forests and gave them their present ap pearance should, however, possess more than a comparative interest for Americans. It has, in fact, a further connection, though a slight one, with the subject, and therefore requires a few words of explanation.
