Excerpt from Timber
When the publishers asked me to undertake this work it was stipulated that it was to be essentially a practical work, and that botany was only incidentally to be touched upon. Only those timbers have been dealt with which are most generally used, either in their native districts or in the general timber trade, together with some others which are likely before long to come into the market. Those most largely used have been dealt with at greatest length.
