~ "The forest and forest trees of England, so far as the present Publishers are aware, have never yet been fully described in a single
volume. It is true that many able works have been published upon English forest trees, and many on the separate forests; but these are all, so to speak, isolated, and no attempt has been made to bring them all together, and give in one complete picture, a historical, legendary and descriptive account of all the forests and forest-trees of England."
