Timber

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. When the publishers asked me to undertake this work it was stipulated that it was to be essentially a practical work, and that botany was only incidentally to be touched upon. Only those timbers have been dealt with which are most generally used, either in their native districts or in the general timber trade, together with some others which are likely before long to come into the market. Those most largely used have been dealt with at greatest length.
