Excerpt from The Planter's Guide, or a Practical Essay on the Best Method of Giving Immediate Effect to Wood, by the Removal of Large Trees and Underwood: Being an Attempt to Place the Art, and That of General Arboriculture, on Fixed and Phytological Principles The Removal of Large Trees, for pleasure or use, is an art of great antiquity.

I trust, however, that the time is not far distant, when arboriculture like husbandry, will engage the attention of some able physiologist, and be thoroughly illustrated in all its parts.
