Synopsis
Excerpt from American Woods, Vol. 11: Exhibited by Actual Specimens and With Copious Explanatory Text; Representing Twenty-Five Species by Twenty-Five Sets of Sections
The work is the outgrowth of one, of somewhat similar plan, proposed by my father some years since, but which he did not carry into effect. Its design is primarily and principally to show, in as compact and perfect a manner as possible, authentic specimens of our American woods, both native and introduced. For that end three sections, respectively transverse, radial and tangential to the grain (see Glossary), are made of each timber, sufficiently thin to allow in a measure the transmission of light, and securely mounted in well made frames.
