AN ANALYSIS 



OP THE 



COMMONER TREES AND SHRUBS OF BRITAIN, 



WITH 



REFERENCE TO THEIR USES IN PLANTATIONS. 



*$* Where the Generic Names only are given, the reader is left to select the Species and Varieties 

 for himself. This he will readily be able to do by turning to the pages referred to after every 

 Generic Name, and consulting the Popular Descriptions. The insertion of the names of all the 

 Species and Varieties in this Analysis would have swelled it to ten times its present bulk.
