add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Forests of North America," by Charles S. Sargent. In view of the national importance of the forest question, this publication is timely and valuable as furnishing the data by which to work out its solution. It belongs in the front rank of the Government publications. A number of important changes have been made in the names of the species, based upon investigations into the works of early botanical writers. This portion of the volume will be of special interest to the botanist, while the terse descriptions of the nature of the wood, taken in connection with the distribution of the species, furnish important data for the builder and mechanic.
