Side 12 - Of my favourite field, and the bank where they grew ; And now in the grass behold they are laid, And the tree is my seat that once lent me a shade. The blackbird has fled to another retreat, Where the hazels afford him a screen from the heat, And the scene where his melody charm'd me before Resounds with his sweet-flowing ditty no more.
Side 39 - This wood has got a good thinning, and the stools of the ash being well dressed up, they are for the most part sending out most vigorous and strong shoots from the old stools, and in a few years a great many better trees from the old stools will be reared up, than the old ones ; the wood is now well enclosed. But it is like locking the stable door after the horse is stolen ; the sheep and cattle having got in before, have injured a great many of the young growths, they will however come on, being...
Side 32 - Gloucestershire, is a chesnuttree fifty-two feet round : it is proved to have stood there since the year 1150, and was then so remarkable, that it was called " The great chesnut of Fortworth" It fixes the boundary of a manor.

Side 31 - Howell, the famous chesnut tree of Mount Etna is one hundred and sixty feet in circumference, but quite hollow within ; which, however, affects not its verdure ; for the chesnut tree, like the willow, depends upon its bark for subsistence, and by age loses its internal part. In the cavity of this tree the people have constructed a commodious house, which they use for various purposes : it is called the tree of a hundred horses, as so many may at one time be sheltered under its boughs.
Side 30 - By Statute 1st. Geo. I. sess. 2, c. 18, it is enacted, " That if any one shall mischievously break down, cut up, bark, destroy, or spoil any timber Tree, fruit Tree, or other Tree, the person damaged shall receive...
Side 33 - Its fruit too is valuable, not only for swine and deer, but as a human food : Bread is said to have been made of it. Upon the whole, tHe...
Side 3 - I have the honour to remain, MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Your most obedient and very faithful Servant, Edinburgh, 14'lk.
Side 31 - Willow, depends upon its bark for subsistance» and by age loses its external part. As the cavity of this enormous mass is very considerable, the people have built a house in it, where they have an oven for drying nuts, almonds, chesnuts, &c. of which they make conserves. They frequently supply themselves with wood from the tree which encircles their house, so that it seems likely in a short time to go to ruin through the ingratitude and thoughtlessness of its inhabitants. Besides this, there are...
