In looking over the above list of forest-trees, it may seem to require a reason 

 for not arranging the names of the trees in alphabetical order, instead of adopting 

 the natural system of classification mentioned at the commencement of this 

 enumeration, at page 93 ; particularly as such a mode, under the circumstances 

 of a partial selection from the whole of the vegetable kingdom, must necessarily, 

 as there stated, exhibit a broken series of connexion between the individual 

 families or groups of trees brought forward. The index, however, will supply 

 this apparent inconvenience, and the advantages to the young forest-planter of 

 being early acquainted with the affinities or natural connexions of different 

 families and species of trees with each other, will, by a little experience in the 

 practice of planting, be fully appreciated by him, should he even confine his 

 examination to the structure of the seed, which is given in the botanical character 

 of each genus or family of trees. The classes and orders of the Natural and 

 Linnean systems, under which each genus of forest-trees stand, will also point 

 out to him where may be found the discriminating characters of distinction of 

 the different species, as in the Species Plantarum, or in systematically arranged
