 neral failure of their fpecies was known before. 



I can hardly quit the lingular and ufcful progrefs 

 of the Arbele, without mentioning its profpedlive 

 appearance when planted on a lofty fcite; the filvery 

 nether furface of its leaves, lifted by the gales, ex- 

 hibits a fcenick beauty peculiar to itfclf. 



But fcenery was not my objedl, notwithftanding 

 the frequent intimate union betwixt ufe and beauty; 

 1 meant only to illuftrate by fa6ls, that ground cir- 

 cumflanced as the aforementioned may, by a judi- 

 cious planting of thefe trees, be covered in a few 

 years with a felf-propagating wood. A fall of the 

 early matured timbers leaves room for the augmen- 

 tation of their natural fucceflbrs, already coming 

 forward, while their roots are extending to fupply 

 the fpaces of thofe which are in fucceflion to be 

 taken away; fo that in point of profit alfo, the ob- 

 je6l fully recommends itfelf. 



I had an Intention of connecting with this the 

 means purfued for corredling and planting a foil 

 and fituation, in the greatefl: extreme different from 

 the foregoing, (boggy and moralTy ground), but 

 having mifplaced fome minutes refpedling it, I 

 purpofe to take an early opportunity of recovering 



them.
