Excerpt from Silva: Or a Discourse of Forest-Trees, and the Propagation of Timber in His Majesty's Dominions, as It Was Delivered in the Royal Society, on the 15th of October 1662, Vol. 1 of 2
It may appear a matter of singularity that a person of my Profession should engage in a work which, it must be confessed, has but a small alliance with Medicine. But I wish to have it known, that, during the whole time this edition was under my hands, I considered it only as affording amusement, and relaxation from studies of a severer kind. To liberal minds this will be a sufficient apology: To persons of a different turn I have nothing to observe. Tacitus says, Ad utilitatem vitœ omnia facta consiliaque nostra sunt dirigenda: and I could produce proofs of the highest authority to confirm this excellent sentiment; - but an age eager in pursuit of natural knowledge needs no incitements.
The expense attending this work would have deterred me from the prosecution of it almost as soon as begun, had it not been for a most distinguished Patronage, under whose recommendation the Subscription filled beyond my most sanguine expectations
Since the first edition of the Silva, in 1664, many improvements have been made in planting, and in every branch of natural knowledge. It, therefore, became my indispensable duty to bring down the improvements to the present time. These make the subject of the Notes, which are drawn from the most respectable authorities. I assume no merit beyond the arrangement of the materials, having in all places preserved the Author's own words, excepting in cases where the sense was obscured by an impropriety of expression.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of forest management, particularly as it relates to England's timber supply, and provides readers with practical instructions on how to cultivate trees. Published in 1664, this book appeared during a time of great interest in the subject. England's supply of timber had diminished significantly, and reforestation efforts were underway. By introducing scientific methods and advocating for the preservation of existing forests, this book took a thoughtful and innovative approach to a pressing national concern. The author draws from history, philosophy, and personal experience to provide a comprehensive guide to forestry, covering topics such as the cultivation and improvement of various tree species, forest conservation, and the use of forest products. This book remains an essential resource for contemporary forestry practices and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the development of sustainable land management techniques in England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330571682_0
