This book has a double purpose, and seems to us more completely successful in one of its aims than in the other. As a popular, and at the same time a scientifically accurate exposition of the germination, life, growth, parts, and functions of a tree, it is beyond all question a very valuable treatise, and we know not where else to find this department of botany so ably and satisfactorily presented. The author also seeks under every head to draw forth from the phenomena he describes a certain amount of ethical instruction. His lessons are all true and good; but we do not always clearly perceive how they come from the tree, and they are somewhat prolix and tedious. This set moralizing is not much to our taste, -- that, however, is of no consequence; but we also believe that it does very little good. That trees, like all God's works, are fraught full with spiritual truth, we have no doubt; but they are far less instructive, when they are made the text for protracted homilies, than when, as by the Divine Teacher, they are merely pointed at in connection with the Father's name, and left to urge their silent appeal to men's hearts. -- The North American Review , Volume 91
