Excerpt from Timber and Some of Its Diseases
The following attempt at a popular exposition of a subject almost unknown in this country, originated in a series of short articles in Nature, and when the publishers proposed that I should add to these and cast them into the form of a book, I assented with the more pleasure because it afforded an Opportunity of calling attention to several points well worth further investigation.
Had my primary object been to write a treatise on the whole subject of the diseases of trees, I should have adopted a somewhat different plan, and discussed many of the phenomena at greater length.
