Synopsis

""The Trees of America, Native and Foreign"" is a comprehensive guide to the trees of America, both native and introduced. This book was written by Daniel Jay Browne and published in 1851. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the pictorial and botanical delineation of the trees, and the second part providing a scientific and popular description of each tree.The first part of the book contains over 150 beautifully illustrated plates, each depicting a different tree species. The illustrations are accompanied by detailed descriptions of each tree's physical characteristics, including its leaves, flowers, and fruit. The botanical descriptions are written in a clear and concise manner, making them accessible to both amateur and professional botanists.The second part of the book provides a more in-depth look at each tree species. The descriptions include information on the tree's habitat, distribution, and uses, as well as any interesting historical or cultural facts associated with the tree. The scientific descriptions are written in a more technical language, but the author also includes a popular description that is easier for the general reader to understand.Overall, ""The Trees of America, Native and Foreign"" is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the trees of America. The book's combination of detailed illustrations and informative descriptions make it a valuable tool for both amateur and professional botanists, as well as anyone interested in the natural history of America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
