'Of the two works united, it is no exaggeration to remarkthat it is the most complete work of its kind, and is aproduction of unrivaled interest and beauty, givingdescriptions and illustrations of all the forest trees ofNorth America, from the arctic limits of arborescentvegetation to the confines of the tropical circle.'
