THE ARBORETUM BRITANNICUM; 



O?', The Hardy Trees of Britain, Native and Foreign, pictorially and 

 Botanically delineated, and scientific ally and popularly described; with their 

 History, Culture Uses, arid Effects in Landscape-Scenery ; by J. C. LOUDON, 

 F. L. H. and G. S., Sfc, Author of the Encyclopeedias of Gardening, and of 

 Cottage, Farm, and Villa Architecture ; and Conductor of the Gardener^ s Ma- 

 gazi7ic, and the Architectural Magazine, 6fc. Sfc. 



This work will contain portraits from Nature, to a scale of a Quarter of an Inch 

 to a Foot, of all the Trees which endure the Open Air in Britain, of the Sizes which 

 they attain in Ten Years in the neighbourhood of London ; with Botanical Figures 

 in Flower, or in Fruit or Seed, of most Species. The Letterpress will contain 

 Scientific and Popular Descriptions of all tlie Species figured ; Historical and Geo- 

 graphical Notices respecting them in their Native Countries, and since their Intro- 

 duction into Britain, or other parts of Europe ; Directions for their Propagation and 

 Culture in the Nursery, and in Useful and Ornamental Plantations ; and Observa- 

 tions on their Uses in the Arts, and more especially on their Employment in 

 Landscape-Gardening. 



The portraits of all the entire trees will be to one and the same scale, viz. a quarter 

 of an inch to a foot. Of the botanical specimens, three will be given of each tree : 

 one in flower, or as it appears in spring, if the plant does not flower after ten years* 

 growth in this country ; another in fruit, or in seed, or as it appears in autumn, if it 

 does not form fruit or produce seed in this country at the same age ; and the third, 

 as it appears in winter, unless it should be an evergreen : all which will be to the 

 scale of two inches to a foot. Of all those leaves, flowers, fruit, or seed, which are 

 under an inch in length, or in diameter, a drawing will be given of the natural size. 

 No drawings will be published which have not been made from nature ; and no 

 species described which have not been seen by the author in the Arboretums of the 

 Horticultural Society, or of Messrs. Loddiges, or in some nursery or garden within 

 ten miles of London. 



For the above work the Author has been collecting materials for several years. 

 He had all the specimen trees in the Arboretum of the Messrs. Loddiges measured 

 and sketched in the autumn of 1830 ; and he has had all those in the Garden of the 

 Horticultural Society of London also measured, and finished drawings from the trees 

 made on the spot, in the autumn of the present year (1834.) In order to procure 

 information respecting the growth of the trees of temperate climates in this and other 

 countries, he has circulated upwards of 1500 " Return Papers" throughout Great 

 Britain and Ireland ; and has sent them, also, to every part of Europe ; and to the 

 principal botanists, nurserymen, and amateurs of trees in North America. 



The drawings will be printed from zinc plates ; and the Author pledges himself 

 that the work will be completed in two years from January, 1835, in twenty-four 

 monthly Numbers, at 2.?. 6^/. each : forming two thick volumes, Svo. ; viz. one of 

 Letterpress and one of Plates. 



Copies of the Plates printed on paper suitable for being coloured, may be had (if 

 ordered) at an extra shilling each number ; and copies with the Botanical Specimens 

 coloured from Nature, may be had (if ordered) at 7*. a number. 



The Author intended to complete the work in twenty numbers, by printing the 

 engravings on both sides of each plate, but this he finds to be utterly impossible.
